Somerset is a lovely county in the South West of the UK. If you go by the common misconception you would think everyone is country bumpkins, who speak funny and drink too much cider. Actually that is kinda right but it just adds to the charm of this stunning area. I’ve lived in this beautiful…
There isn't many bad things about long haul travel but one of the worst is Jet lag. I've been flying backward and forwards from the UK to Australia every year for the past 10 years and every single time the lag has got me. You'd think I'd be a pro at dealing with it. I'm…

Selfies with Big Ben, sunset ride on the London Eye, popped by Buckingham Palace for a cuppa with Liz and hanging with the Lions in Trafalgar Square. It was like I had just visited London for the first time!…
So I was travelling (ok commuting) with the London set today and no matter how many times I get off the train here it always reminds me of meeting my mum when she came to London on her first solo overseas trip. My parent travel (ALOT!) must be where my sisters and I get it…
