Sightseeing in Sydney 🇦🇺 One of the prettie

Sightseeing in Sydney 🇦🇺

One of the prettiest places to visit in Sydney is Government House. Tucked away in the Botanical Gardens, it has the dreamiest spot with its garden overlooking Sydney Opera House and Harbour. You can book a tour of the house itself, but even the gardens themselves are just beautiful to see! Highly recommended for anyone looking to visit Sydney. Now that Australia’s on the green list - albeit an isolation period - it’s starting to feel like more of a reality!

How are you feeling about the UK’s travel list? Are you looking to book? Let me know in the comments ✈️

Oh Canada 🇨🇦

Desperately awaiting my Covid vaccine so I can book flights to my other motherland! Missing Canada, its amazing landscapes and epic cities (and poutine, obvs). For anyone looking to head to Toronto, here’s my roundup of the best things to do in the 6ix. Feel free to SAVE and SHARE this post for later.

⛴ Catch the ferry out to Toronto Islands for the best views of the iconic skyline.

🍸 Relax with a cocktail at one of the beautiful bars in @fairmontroyalyork.

☕️ Stop by @merchantsofgreencoffee for a tasty cup o’ Joe.

🗼Head to the @cntower for an amazing meal with a view at @cntower360

🏊‍♀️ Visit the beautiful rooftop bar of @hotelxtoronto - and in the summer hit up their rooftop pool

Where are you booking flights to first?

The sight of a girl this happy to be on holiday again 🙆🏼‍♀️

I just returned from the most magical little break to the Jurassic Coast and Dorset. Something very difficult for me is to turn my phone off and try and detox, but I somehow managed to do it! I’ll be sharing all my tips and more over the coming week. I honestly can’t recommend this beautiful little spot of the country enough - gorgeous aquamarine oceans, acres of countryside, and the most delicious seafood to boot.

How was your bank holiday weekend? Did you travel? Let me know all in the comments, I’d love to hear what you’ve all been up to ♥️

🚲 The Top Things to Do in Oxford, UK 🚲

If you’re looking for a staycation or simply to explore a lovely city, look no further than Oxford. Just over an hour away from London, it’s a haven for great brunch spots and activities in the sun. Here are my top picks - feel free to SAVE and SHARE for your visit to Oxford:

🥑 Hit up @geesrestaurant for an amazing brunch menu in their beautiful conservatory

🚣‍♂️ Try your hand at punting along the River Cherwell at @cherwellboathouse and soak in the sights

☕️ Stroll past the university colleges and beautiful houses of Jericho, before grabbing a cup of Joe at @jerichocoffeetraders

🐟 Stop off for lunch at @thetroutoxford, a pretty little riverside pub that’s perfectly placed for an afternoon in the sun

🖼 Visit the @ashmoleanmuseum for an impressive collection of art, history, and archaeology

🍹 Go for cocktails at @tvcoxford with gorgeous rooftop views over the City of Spires

Do you have any recommendations for Oxford? Let me know in the comments and I’ll add them to the list 😊

Spring in Amsterdam 🌷

One of the prettiest places to visit during the springtime has to be Amsterdam in the Netherlands. I went a couple of years ago and it’s beautiful with colourful tulips wherever you look. Here are a few of my favourite things to do:

🌷 A trip to @visitkeukenhof to see thousands of beautiful colourful tulips and Dutch windmills

🚲 Taking a long cycle around Vondelpark and soaking in the scenery and stopping for a bite at @vondelpark3

💐 A trip to Bloemenmarkt to explore the world’s only floating flower market

🌸 Visiting the awesome @rijksmuseum to see the incredible collection of old dolls houses and seeing the gardens (pictured)

🍺 Taking a ride on a canal boat for a tour of the city and fitting in a trip to @heinekenexperience for a pint or two

What are your favourite things to do in Amsterdam? Let me know in the comments below!

Hope you’re all getting outside and enjoying the sunshine - what a way to start the weekend! I am cracking open the drinks tonight and plan on having my first @pimmsgb of the season. Currently debating where to explore locally this weekend - here are a few of my thoughts:

🌳 Painswick for a visit to @the_painswick
🌲 A stroll along the Sculpture Trail in the Forest of Dean
🍩 Stroud Market for @pippindoughnuts
🍳 Brunch at @ivycheltenham
☕️ Bourton-on-the-Water for coffee and cake from @bakeryonthewater
🍷 Northleach for drinks at @thewheatsheafinnnorthleach

Any other suggestions? Help me decide in the comments below 🙃
