Moments in Mauritius with my favourite travel buddy 🥰 I couldn’t resist sharing a few more memories from our time in Mauritius with @radissonblu and @condenasttraveller late last year. Going through these clips has me yearning to book another adventure in, stat! When Adam and I took our first trip together, we decided to forego the usual weekend city break and jump straight in the deep end with two weeks exploring Malaysia. Looking back it was pretty risky - travelling can bring out the worst in people, and two weeks non-stop together in a fairly fresh relationship is a lot! Luckily, (barring our first “big” fight over the dumbest thing ever in a vegan sushi restaurant in Penang!) it turns out we love travelling together. We balance each other out - I’m the keen bean planner and organiser and always want to be go go go, whereas Adam is more chill, but also a problem solver (I am more of a problem panicker, so this is ideal). We’ve got our first trip of the year together next week, going somewhere that looks absolutely nothing like Mauritius - I’m hoping for snow! (Adam is driving, so he’s less keen…). I’d love to tick off a big bucket list trip this year - Vietnam is somewhere we’ve both talked about for years, so maybe it’s time to take the plunge… Or maybe even back to Mauritius! What’s on the top of your bucket list this year? #uktravelblogger #travelcouple #travelcouples #traveltheworld #travelcouplelife #coupleswhotravel #travellingthroughtheworld #creativetravelcouples #travelcouplegoals #travelwithme #travelcoupledestinations #travelcouplebloggers #mauritius #mauritiusnow #mauritiusexplored #mauritiusisland #cntraveler #radissonhotels #radissonblu #luxuryhotelsworld #luxuryhotels #luxuryhotelsandresorts #mauritiushotels

A photo dump from Cinque Terre and Portofino 🇮🇹 1/4. Views out over Portofino 2/6. Vernazza post-storm 3. Endless blues in Riomaggiore 5. Manarola at sunset 7. An empty Riomaggiore at dawn (can you spot Adam and I?) 8. The balcony looking out over Santa Margherita Ligure from @villa.gelsomino 9. Riomaggiore at Golden Hour (it was our base, so we captured it at all the good light times!) After every trip I like to share a few photos I’ve taken that don’t have me in, partially because they’re nice shots (at least I hope they are!), but also to prove that I actually am a competent photographer. People often assume that Adam is the creative talent and I simply “the face”, but I’ve been taking photos non-stop ever since the blurry MySpace selfie days (but lets not dwell on those…). Growing up my friends (hey @pollzable 😉) and I would stage photoshoots in my back garden, complete with huge indie kid fringes and random props stolen from around the house. I might share some throwbacks on my stories if I can unearth them from the depths of my Facebook albums! I’ve only recently gotten comfortable with calling myself a photographer, particularly as it’s a profession overwhelmingly associated with men. I see it and hear of it regularly - male creators are taken seriously as photographers and creatives, women creating equal work branded influencers, and quite frankly, taken less seriously. But I’ve invested years in learning cameras, lenses, lighting and editing. I take it seriously, and I love being behind a camera. So here is my photography, a few on the fly snaps around the Italian Riviera, and I hope you like it. *Although the drone work is Adam operating while I’m like “Go more left!! Angle up!!” over his shoulder, though I can operate it, he’s far superior 😅 #cinqueterre #cinqueterreitaly #italytravel #italian _places #italyphotography #dronevideography #dronephotography #beautifuldestinations #darlingescapes #travelphotography #travelphotographer #discoverearth #awesomedreamplaces #wonderful _places #uktravelblogger #travelcreators #uktravelcouple #travelcouplegoals

Just a highlights reel from what is, in my humble opinion at least, one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline on Earth. Adam and I spent the last week traversing Liguria, from the bustling capital of Genoa, to the beaches and charming fishing villages of Cinque Terre and Portofino. It was a dream trip, one that I already find myself nostalgic for. So much so that I went to the supermarket today to stock up on focaccia, prosciutto, and pesto, although I sadly suspect the Sainbury’s own brand version will pale in comparison to the rich flavours of the local produce we indulged in. I’ll be sharing more from this trip over the next couple of weeks - let me know what else you’d like to see, and what practical information you’d be interested in. #visititaly #italiait #italydestinations #italytravel #italyvacations #italyholidays #cinqueterre #cinqueterreitaly #italy _vacations #whatitalyis #italianlandscapes #italyphotography #uktravelblogger #travelbloggers #bellaitalia _travel #europetravel #darlingescapes #beautifuldestinations #portofino #portofinoitaly #liguriagram #liguriadavivere #italianriviera #europedestinations #europe _vacations #globelletravels #travelvideography Cinque Terre travel guide, Portofino vacations, italy vacations, where to go in italy, italy travel tips, italy travel inspiration

Trying to choose which of the five multicoloured village that make up Cinque Terre is the prettiest is like trying to choose a favourite child. They’re all so charming in their own unique ways, from the bustling seaside ambience of Monterosso to the quiet, laidback charm of hilltop Corniglia. But if I had to pick (you always secretly do have your favourite child, right?), it would be this, Manarola. As we watched the sun set over the hotchpotch of peach hued buildings, turning slowly pinker against the candy floss sky, I remarked to Adam that in that moment, it was impossible to imagine that anywhere in the world could be more beautiful. It’s the kind of sappy sentiment I don’t usually go in for, but hey, it was that good a sunset. So, if like me, you have a rather lengthy bucket list of travel adventures, make sure to add “watch the sun set over Cinque Terre” to it. Just be prepared to get a bit mushy. - ad dress is pr @dreamsisterjane - #visititaly #italiait #italydestinations #italytravel #italyvacations #italyholidays #cinqueterre #cinqueterreitaly #italy _vacations #whatitalyis #italianlandscapes #italyphotography #uktravelblogger #travelbloggers #bellaitalia _travel #europetravel #darlingescapes #beautifuldestinations #cinqueterrelove #italia _landscape #sjsisterhood

{2024} Chapter Four: I T A L Y 🇮🇹 Genoa is often overlooked as a stepping stone to the Italian Riviera, however the port city more than holds its own. It’s less jam packed with sights than other more touristy Italian cities, but that gives it an authentic charm, the feel of a real, “lived in” city. It’s also a great destination to experience traditional Ligurian cuisine, and indulge in fresh pesto, seafood, and the regions famous focaccia. If you do one thing in Genoa, head up to Spianata Di Castelletto for golden hour, and watch the sun set over the city, ideally with a Prosecco from @calicespianata in hand. I hadn’t much planned on shooting around the city, but when we came across this incredible sunset view I couldn’t resist getting the camera out, and I’m glad I did. #genovagram #genovamorethanthis #igersgenova #ig _genova #liguriagram #liguria _super_pics #liguriadavivere #ligurian _places #volgoitalia #italiait #whatitalyis #europetravel #genoa #bellaitalia _travel #bellaitalia #italytravel #italytrip #italy _vacations #roamtheplanet #italianlandscapes #italian _trips #italian _places

New York isn’t really considered a “pretty” city, unlike say, Paris or London. But it holds its own! This incredible building behind me is Alwyn Court, built in the French Renaissance style with intricate carved exteriors. I can only imagine what the inside must look like… In my imagination I’m an Old Money socialite living in the penthouse suite, filled with priceless antique furniture, where I throw fabulous soirées. A girl can dream! Speaking of socialites, I feel like if Gossip Girl was set today (the OG, let’s not talk about the reboot), Blair would probably dress a little something like this. Just add an obnoxiously large headband, and you’re good to go! Any look that channels my inner Queen B is a vibe, that show basically defined my entire adolescent fashion consciousness (although my gosh, Serena’s fits have not aged well…). Question is, are you more of a Blair, or a Serena? #visitnewyork #visitnyc #nycphotography #newyorkphotography #newyorklife #newyorknewyork #newyorkcitylife #newyorkstateofmind #newyorkfashion #nycfashion #nycstreetstyle #newyorkstyle #newyorkarchitecture #nycarchitecture #nycstyle

I tried to discover new places and things on this NYC trip, but one restaurant I had to return to was @boucherie_us (ad pr). In my opinion, the prettiest restaurant in the city, if not maybe even worldwide…? And the food and drink hold their own. Adam made it his mission to try all the various version’s of an Old Fashioned New York had to offer, and declared the Boucherie version his favourite. High praise indeed. Personally I was more interested in slathering my (perfectly cooked) steak frites in copious amounts of herb butter, and of course, taking endless photos of every single beautiful corner. If you’re looking for aesthetic restaurants in New York, a reminder that I have a full guide over on the blog - link in bio. #newyorkrestaurants #nycrestaurants #newyorkdining #newyorkfood #nyceats #nycfood #nycfoodie #nycdining #newyorknewyork #newyorkstateofmind #newyorkcitylife #newyorkfoodie #visitnewyork #visitnyc #uktravelblogger #londonblogger #travelblogger #travelcouple best restaurants in New York, where to eat in nyc, instagrammable restaurants in New York, New York photography

New York Anoushka is perpetually over caffeinated because she’s a busy city girlie off brokering deals and saying things like “paradigm shift” and “let’s touch base”… Or she just keeps buying tasty little coffees because they’re an easy prop, that end up being whopping huge coffees because American sizes are something else. Either way, this was my favourite outfit on this trip, this boots and jacket combo is becoming a serious wardrobe staple (I can’t actually walk in these boots, but hey, mild inconvenience). This spot is Domino Park in Brooklyn, which I highly recommend adding to your NYC itinerary. There’s the views out towards Manhattan, but also, countless very cute dogs. Plus a lot of good restaurants and bars nearby, but y’know, mainly the dog thing.. #visitnewyork #visitnyc #newyorkcity #newyorknewyork #newyorkstateofmind #newyorkcityphotography #brooklynny #brooklynphotography #visittheusa #nycstyle #nycstreetstyle #nycfashion #nycfashionblogger #uktravelblogger #ukblogger #travelphotography #globewanderer #dominopark

MY NEW YORK CITY GUIDE 👇🏼 It feels like a futile task, trying to put together a New York guide. There’s just so much to do and see, and it’s the kind of city that’s constantly changing and evolving. But I’ve been enough times now that I feel I can confidently recommend a decent NYC day. A tried and tested recipe of activities that gives you a real flavour of the city, whether you’re a first timer or a pro. I’d like to think I’m more the latter, but I still haven’t quite got the hang of swiping my metro card (there’s a very specific not too slow, not too fast speed required that I can’t seem to get the knack of!), so maybe not… Anyway, here’s a guide to some of my favourite NYC places and spaces: THINGS TO DO: * Visit an observatory: Empire State Building and Top of The Rock are the classics, or catch spectacular views at @edgenyc and @summitov * It’s totally touristy, but you have to see the lights of Times Square lit up at night at least once * Wander Central Park, Dog spot in Domino Park, or catch the cherry blossom at Brooklyn Botanic Garden * Cross the Brooklyn Bridge and spend a day vintage shopping and cafe hopping RESTAURANTS: * @boucherienyc , my favourite for aesthetic French dining * @monomono.nyc , Korean wings and oysters surrounded by records * @katzsdeli , from *that* When Harry Met Sally scene, famous for pastrami sandwiches * @joespizzanyc , a classic NYC slicery * @pigandkhao , for a Filipino Thai mashup * @nown.usa , the best Asian inspired burgers * @antonsnyc , the vibiest neighbourhood pasta spot BARS: * @theuesnyc a speakeasy hidden behind an ice cream parlour * @keysandheels , another speakeasy (I like speakeasies, can you tell..?) posing as a locksmith * @apothekenyc , retro apothecary inspired cocktail bars * @attaboy134 , a cosy cocktail bar with no set menu * @bathtubginnyc , yep, a speakeasy, with 1920s vibes and quirky drinks Let me know if you have any other tips, and what your perfect NYC day would look like! #visitnyc #visitheusa #usatravel #newyorknewyork #newyorkstateofmind #newyorktravel #travelusa #newyorkcitylife #newyorktrip #newyorkexplored how to spend a day in New York, things to do in New York

Is it even a trip to New York if you don’t head to an observation deck for those city views? It’s old school, but I always love popping up to @topoftherocknyc . The retro binoculars make for a great photo prop, and it looks out so perfectly over the Empire State Building. #newyorkcity #newyorknewyork #newyork _instagram #topoftherock #nycarchitecture #newyorkstateofmind #newyorkcityphotography #newyorktravel #newyorktrip #newyorkexplored #newyorkskyline #visitnewyork #visittheusa #sheisnotlost #femmetravel #wearetravelgirls #journeysofgirls #globewanderer

Take a wander with me around the @interconbarclay Hotel. A New York icon hailing from 1926, it’s one of the most prestigious hotels in the city, attracting presidents such as Biden and Obama, and writers including Ernest Hemingway, who wrote For Whom The Bell Tolls in residence here. Adam and I may not have been ruling the country or writing seminal fiction but we were right at home nonetheless exploring these storied halls. I loved the Old New York glamour; martinis at the Art Deco Gin Parlour, or a game of chess in the palatial penthouse suite. It’s a slice of The Big Apple at it’s very finest. - ad press stay - #BarclayStyle #visitnyc #visitheusa #usatravel #newyorknewyork #newyorkstateofmind #newyorktravel #travelusa #newyorkreels #newyorkcitylife #newyorktrip #newyorkexplored #hotelphotographer #hotelphotography #luxuryhotels #nychotels #newyorkhotels #hotelsinnyc #luxurytravel #luxuryworldtraveler #luxuryvacation #luxurydestination #beautifulhotels #hotelsandresorts #hotelsoftheworld #hotelsofinstagram #uniquehotels #discoverhotels #luxuryhotelsworld where to stay in New York, best hotels in New York, luxury hotels in NYC
