I've been yearning for Tuscany for the past three years. Maybe it was the dreaming of the wine, the people, the space, the nature. Check out this stunning resort just outside of Montepulciano in Tuscany.

I've decided to draw a line in the sand and write my top travel wish list as it stands at the moment in 2020 in the midst of covid-19.
I figured that as we haven't travelled anywhere yet this year that it's basically day dot for the year anyways. I've narrowed it down to 19 locations I'd like to travel to.
I often forget when I'm sat in my little bubble that our life is very different to most of the world. What feels like 'normal' to us and routine is actually very unique. Whilst covid-19 has effected everyone and the impact has been felt all around the world, but those ripples have been experienced very differently.

Laos has been on our travel list since we got to Singapore, to be honest I'd never heard about this country before, which is nestled in-between Thailand, Vietnam and just above Cambodia. Pronounced like l-ow as in cow, you leave the 's' off. We're still hoping to do a weekend trip here in the next …

It seems that most of us are stuck in holiday-planning-mode, with travel plans in limbo at the moment, whilst we wait for the green light to jet off. This is to be the year of domestic travel and rediscovering the gems on our very own doorsteps. Although I think I've drawn a short straw on …

Although we're now in Singapore I'm green with envy that Europe is starting to unlock their restrictions and that people will soon be able to resume short-haul travel. I feel we have been on lockdown for the longest time. I predict that going camping will be a very popular family holiday option this summer. I …
