Obidos, Portugal
Probably one of our favourite places we visited during our stay in Portugal, Obidos is the most picturesque fortified town. The quaint traditional houses, the narrow cobbled streets reminded me a lot of Paraty in Brazil. I just love the Portuguese architecture with the white houses and their colourful trims. Obidos is only an hour…

4 days in Lisbon
Lisbon had been on my list for a long time and, to be perfectly honest, I am not sure what took me so long to visit! In the recent years, Lisbon has become a very trendy destination. The weather is good, prices are affordable, the food and bar scenes are excellent and there are some decent sights…

Restaurante Funky – Ericeira, Portugal
Neither Andrew or I are vegetarians, however, we do like to sometime skip meat or fish in favour of vegetables and fruits. Vegetarian food has evolved so much the past few years that, even for meat-appreciators like us, a plant-based dish can be very exciting. So when Andrew spotted Restaurante Funky, we knew we had…

Unfortunately, we cannot just jump on a plane to Rome when we are craving the flavours of Italy. Not very budget-friendly neither environment-friendly.…

Favourite face masks
Behind every great skin, there is a great routine! I don’t know about you but I can really see the difference when I stick to a solid skincare regimen with efficient products. Sometimes though I slip out of the routine (we are only human right?), that is when I reach out to some of my favourite face…

Flat Iron Square – London
It doesn’t happen often but sometimes looking for free wifi and clean toilets can lead to great things. It was the case for me recently while looking for a decent spot to work from, around London Bridge, before a dinner with my friends at Padella. I was walking down the streets hoping to find a warm…
