A Trip Down Haji Lane in Singapore
A trip down Haji Lane in Singapore is well worth checking out and will no doubt add a splash of colour to your visit. Haji Lane is a little street tucked away near the Arab district, (easily missed if you don’t know about it) that pays homage to some fabulous street art. The walls of some of the buildings make for some fabulous photography opportunities or simply to just admire. There is a steady stream of tourists visiting the area during the day, but it’s not as overly crowded as other tourist spots. The narrow lane’s walls are filled with cool larger than life street art and inside these colourful…

Breakfast in Singapore
Venture beyond the CBD and you will find some real gems for breakfast in Singapore. I found two such places located on the outer edge of the Arab district. The first being Tolido’s Espresso Nook and the second simply called Artistry. What brought me to these cafes, was the fact that my hotel’s breakfast was less than impressive – actually it was downright woeful! So I was looking for the exceptional, a place where I could relax with a good coffee, awaiting a freshly cooked breakfast that would have my tastebuds rejoicing. Tolido’s Espresso Nook This relaxed cafe has a lovely ambience, with it’s slightly eclectic decor, it beckons you to…

Rimba by Ayana Resort and Spa Review
During my visit to South East Asia, one of my stops was to the relaxing island of Bali. On this trip, I split my time in half, spending the first half in Seminyak and then the second half of my trip in Jimbaran. In Jimbaran I stayed at a brilliant resort called Rimba by Ayana Resort and Spa. Initially I hadn’t heard of Rimba or knew anyone who had stayed there, but I had heard of Ayana Resort and Spa. On a previous visit to Bali, I had the pleasure of wandering about the grounds of Ayana on a day visit to the Rock Bar. The grounds were very impressive…

Whilst visiting Dubrovnik, you may get recommended to check out the Buza Bar. Actually finding the Buza Bar in Dubrovnik due to the towns maze of streets, may prove to be somewhat elusive. Now don’t let that stop you though, for going out searching for something hidden and out of the ordinary is all part of the fun.

Walking the Walls of Dubrovnik
Walking the walls of Dubrovnik is an experience you should not miss when paying a visit to the Old Town. Dubrovnik’s walled city is unique in that it is completely intact, giving you the chance to walk continuously along the walls right back to your starting point. The view looking down from the top gives you a great perspective of the city inside. Looking outwards, you get the sense of the of how impenetrable these walls are and how it’s location is of strategic significance. Every angle offers a different view of the town, the ocean and the islands beyond. If you are a die hard fan of Game of…

The Shirley Valentine Beach
“The only thing I ever wanted to do was travel. I’d like to drink a glass of wine, sitting by the sea, watching the sun go down”. Shirley Valentine. A long time ago in my late teens, I remember my mother going to the movies to see Shirley Valentine. At the time I thought it was just a movie for oldies and I never thought anything more about it. That was until many years later, in my early 30s. I was a stay at home mum with two kids of my own. I often had the television on in the background, whilst running after two young kids, but on…

Coffee in Mykonos and a Cat for a Date
Coffee in Mykonos and a Cat for a Date – Whilst travelling about, I always try and find a great cafe to recommend for coffee. In my usual life, I live down the road from where you will find the worlds most competitive and creative barista’s. Anyone who frequents Melbourne’s coffee scene will know what I mean. Melbourne has an amazing coffee culture which sets expectations high wherever ‘we’ go. I’ll add here that most (not all) are quick to become a critic – aka coffee snob. Now getting back to finding a decent coffee in Mykonos. After a couple of days wandering about with my camera, I noticed this…
