The archipelago, known as the Channel Islands, are far south of mainland Britain yet only 14 miles from the coast of Normandy, France.

The sea was a shade of aqua blue, the sand pale pearly white and the surrounding foliage a blanket of emerald green. There was silence except for the sound of the lapping waves. I was on the island of Ko Samui and the last thing I had expected to …

Today’s sponsored post brings us alittle closer to home, the vibrant, dynamic city of Hong Kong. Riding on a tram to the top of The Peak, catching the Star Ferry across the harbour, gawping at the incredible skyline and shopping at one of the many markets are all must-dos …

It might be the summer wave that’s hitting me hard or the travel plans that I’ve been plotting over the past few weeks, but I can’t seem to get enough of gushing over paradisiacal summer destinations. So if you’re just like me, a dreamer and a summer-reveler, then get your bikini ready as …
