It’s a fresh new year! Are you making any resolutions? We spent the first few days of 2017 in Yallingup…a small coastal town in the South West region of Western Australia. Here are some of the most beautiful beaches you will ever walk on and for the surfers, some of the best waves you’ll ever…
Paris: Our Favourite Places
There is possibly no more beautiful or evocative place than Paris. Why are we so enamoured with this city? The food plays a part and the wonderful sites but it’s more than that. I think it’s the people and the energy – it feels like everyone is living the good life in this charismatic city….
ISTANBUL: OUR EATING GUIDE
Istanbul was one of our most anticipated places to explore. The things we were told by friends about the food, the culture and the sites were nothing short of excellent. In the middle of moments of amazement and wonder, we found the vastness of the city and the fusion of cultures a little bewildering at…
Stepping into 2016
I can’t believe February is almost over. I don’t know about you, but I feel like January completely flew by us. We have so much catching up to do. Where to start? After our first big overseas trip together in 2011, the travel bug bit us hard and it’s always been a case of when is…

Where does Lyon’s gastronomic reputation stem from? Is it the famous Les Halles de Paul Bocuse market named after the city’s most famous chef? The abundance of bouchons scattered throughout the city?…

We admired the view of Florence from every angle at the top of the Duomo. Watched the sunset light shroud Piazza della Signoria. Saw the Ponte Vecchio from afar. And of…
Greek memories + Brika
Just 14km north of the Greek border is the city of Bitola in Macedonia. This ancient town is a delightful little place to spend a few days in. We enjoyed a momentary stay a few years ago whilst on our honeymoon in Europe. On our short visit to Bitola, we took in a leisurely walk down the main…
Cheese in Montmartre
We stumbled upon this little fromagerie a short while back, as we were strolling along the ancient road of Rue Lepic in Montmartre, Paris. Seeing the countless cheeses of varied shapes and origins made me slightly giddy. As far as I’m concerned, everything’s better with cheese. I just can’t get enough of the stuff. Pecorino Fiore Sardo…
