A lunch date at Vue De Monde
Vue de Monde has been on my bucket list of restaurants for quite sometime now and it was high tide that I checked out what all the fuss was about. Needless to say, I was just blown away with the whole experience. Vue de Monde is not only about the food, it’s the way it delights all your senses. With an open kitchen, it places you right into the heart of the activity, with a chorus’ of yes chef in the background and a chance to see what goes on in the art of plating up. A lunch date at Vue de monde was a day to savour and below is…

The Historic Neighbourhood of Anafiotika
I love discovering little unexpected places when I’m out and about exploring a city. So whilst I was in Athens, I learned of one such treasure that’s well hidden away. In fact if you walked by you may not even notice what lies at the foot of the Acropolis. So what is it exactly that I’m talking about? I’m talking about the historic neighbourhood of Anafiotika. A little area hidden within Plaka, that will give you a little taste of the Greek Islands. I first came to know about the Anafiotika neighbourhood through my lovely Greek friend Sissy, who lives in Athens. She suggested that when I take a walk…

What to See and Do in Dubai
Dubai is often considered as a place for a stop-over on route to elsewhere, rather than a destination in itself. On my recent trip to Dubai, I spent 5 days getting to know this city and it’s a whole lot more than just a dusty desert. You may be surprised to find out it’s also green, it’s colourful and a bit of sparkle thrown in for good measure. There is quite a lot of ongoing construction but areas that have been finished have been done extremely well. So now you may be asking yourself the question of ‘what to see and do in Dubai’ and how many days should you…

Visiting Dubai During Ramadan
Visiting Dubai during Ramadan need not be a time to avoid but a chance to see and experience this deeply cultural and spiritual event. This is a recount of my experience visiting Dubai during Ramadan and what to expect. When I first booked my trip to Dubai, I didn’t even give Ramadan a thought. I had heard of Ramadan, but I wasn’t entirely clued in to what it involved exactly or how it might affect my trip. I had already booked and paid for my flights well in advance and I had worked out my five week itinerary around Southern Europe, so it was pretty much set in stone. As…

Desert Safari and Dune Bashing in Dubai
One of the most popular tourist attractions or rather things to do in the UAE is a Desert Safari and Dune Bashing in Dubai. I was recommended a company called Arabian Adventures by a friend, checked out the reviews and decided to book. I loved this tour from start to finish and I if I could – I’d give this Arabian desert encounter an 11 out of 10. What this tour will bestow on you is a thrilling adventure ride through the desert, an opportunity to witness a glorious Arabian sunset and a highly entertaining evening in a bedouin-style camp. This cultural evening is something not to be missed when…

The Ancient City of Ephesus
Out of all the Roman ruins throughout the Mediterranean, the ancient city of Ephesus in Turkey is one of the most exciting and intact city ever to be discovered. Turkey in ancient times enjoyed a valuable and strategic position within the Mediterranean and with this came many foreign conquests. Throughout Turkey you can see many influences from both the Greeks (Hellenistic period) and the Roman Empire and in particular, the city of Ephesus displays these styles within it’s structures. In fact it’s a general consensus amongst the Turks, that there are more Roman ruins in Turkey than there are in Rome. The sheer scale of Ephesus is still yet to be…
