A Leisure Guide for Families in Dubai
Right by the Salalah coast lies a luxury resort whose name we may be quite familiar with : Al Baleed Resort Salalah by Anantara. We stayed here with the kids in April 2022 on the second half of our Salalah trip – with just one goal in mind : to relax, and we did just […]

Tucked away in Mirbat, Oman – sits an expansive and stunning property by the name of Alila Hinu Bay. We had the privilege of staying here with the family early April 2022 during its soft opening phase. Here’s what we thought of the resort, and why you should definitely add this to your Oman Bucket […]

Whilst we did day trips to Glasgow, Edinburgh, Luss, passing by most days to Balloch and Dumbarton where daddy was at, the highlight of the trip was simply our stay in the Shantron Farm. The kids would be watching the ewes and lambs, we saw calves which were a day old still struggling to stand, […]

I spend a lot of time researching where to go when it comes to holidays. I didn’t personally know anyone who had been, so had to ask around for advice in facebook groups and just read a million reviews on booking.com and tripadvisor.com. Schuler Residence (click here, see Apartment Type D) in Taormina caught my […]

When we decided that we were going to spend a few days in Almaty, I was worried that it would be too much like going to another city. Then I saw some of the photos of The Ritz Carlton with the snow-capped mountains in the backdrop and the green parks in front of it – […]

During our four nights in Almaty, we chose to stay in two different hotels, so we could experience different parts of the city. The Rixos was our choice for the first two nights, because it was a) highly-rated in booking.com and tripadvisor b) located in the middle of Almaty city. Here’s a brief summary of […]

I got a little confused when researching on where to stay in Brasov. After a lot of reading up of reviews, we finally settled on Kronwell. It looked modern, clean, there was parking, and I was running out of time – we had to agree on somewhere. We ended up staying for 3 nights here, […]

We spent the first two nights of our stay in Romania, in the heart of the city – Bucharest. We figured two nights would do it justice, before we went on our road-trip to the outskirts towards Brasov. Extremely glad that we started our Romanian holiday in Intercontinental Hotel Bucharest – situated just a 10-minute […]

When you start researching for somewhere to stay in the Amalfi, you could literally spend hours looking at where to base yourself, then after you’re done reading all the blogs, reviews, and recommendations, you’ll need to figure out which exact hotel you want to stay. It’s not cheap in Italy – I’m sure you already […]

Onboard Emirates, en route from Venice back to Dubai. Hello everyone 🙂 I usually just pick a handful to write about after a holiday, and since we have two more hours to go before we land in DXB, here’s my write up of one of the highlights of our trip – our stay in the […]

You have a flight at 6am in the morning (say, to Santorini? 🙂 ) and you don’t want to stress missing the flight. Stay here. It’s nothing exceptional but it’s a 2 minute walk from the hotel door to the airport. It’s comfortable, proper bathroom amenities, and you will get a good night’s sleep.

If you much prefer somewhere quieter, away from the hoards of tourists, and a little lighter on the wallet but still equally luxurious, you could give Vedema Resort in Megalochori a try 🙂 We bid farewell to our cave-house on Tuesday afternoon, and started our journey down south to the little town of Megalochori. It […]

Back, and broke, in Dubai, ha ha. Time to choose a few things to write about 🙂 Why not start with the highlight of our trip – Santorini Secret. I had spent a lot of time on booking.com and tripadvisor reading endless reviews and scrolling through photos of hotels in Santorini. Other than Oia, all the […]

4:05 pm Kathmandu time, we’ve only just departed 7 minutes ago and currently at 5634m in the air. Humbling to know that Mt Everest is at 8848m and about 100 people attempt to climb it each year. Amazing. Definitely not something in G or my bucket list 😉 Maybe a plane ride over it next time. Onto Hyatt, […]

We checked out of Punta on the third day, and got dropped off at Tropical Suites ( Thanks Alessandro!) located in the centre of Bocas Town. Glad we chose it ay, cheers to Tripadvisor’s recommendation – it was really good for Bocas standards. Clean, spacious, and they gifted us a bottle of champagne as well, aww. […]

The only souvenirs we took from Punta were memories, a million photos, and about 250 sandfly-bites all over my body. I wouldn’t trade it for anything though. It would have been good if G shared some of these bites, but unfortunately I am just a lot more sweeter than he is 😀 Here’s my honest […]

Last Eid, G and I did a mini trip to a few spots in Europe. Got pretty lazy after we returned, managed to do two posts which were our highlights 🙂 Sandeman’s, and Salzburg. My brief review on the SPG hotels we stayed in Vienna.

I’m gonna try and let the photos do more of the talking, mainly because a) it does and b) I’m lazy (again) – hehe! Of all the random hotels we stayed in over our Eid break, Hotel Altstadt was our favourite-st 🙂 For those who hasn’t been to Salzburg – go! It’s such a beautiful […]
