When I revisited Porto in August 2026, I wanted to stay somewhere cheap, central, clean, modern and with a bit of personality. Zero Box Lodge Porto ticked all the boxes. I didn’t need anywhere fancy, and I knew we’d barely be in the accommodation due to there being so many things to do in Porto, but I wanted something a little bit different. I’ve stayed in an Airbnb in Porto … [Read more...]
Making Pastel de natas at Boiler Studio, Porto
During my most recent trip to Porto in August/September 2026, I wanted to go deeper into what the city has to offer. I'd already visited Porto twice, writing my complete guide to Porto on the back of my second visit. I'd say I know the city pretty well, but I wanted to do more of what the locals do. I also love Pastel de natas, so when I spotted that Getyourguide does Pastel de … [Read more...]
Spending a day in Rotterdam
As someone who really, really likes Amsterdam, it makes sense that I'd want to see more of The Netherlands. I recently visited Maastricht and enjoyed the city too but, despite at least six visits to Amsterdam (or more, I've lost count!) I'd never made it to Rotterdam. In July 2026, that changed, when our football team, Burnley, planned to play a friendly against Ajax. We … [Read more...]

AD Seeing the world more clearly: An Aoolia Eyewear review
As someone who travels a lot and takes a ton of photos, the best bit of kit I have isn't my camera, or my tripod, or anything you can buy in a photography shop. It's my eyesight! As a teenager, I needed to wear glasses and I hated them. When I was 27, about 13 years ago, I spent A LOT of money on having laser eye surgery, got 20/20 vision back, and threw my glasses in the bin. … [Read more...]
Estabulo Leeds Review
A fair few years ago, pre Covid, I was invited, with a bunch of other Leeds Bloggers, to an evening at The Light, Leeds. We had a cocktail at one restaurant, a starter at a second, a main course at a third and a dessert at a fourth. It was a really good way to showcase some of what The Light had to offer (at the time-some of the places have sadly since closed) and it was also … [Read more...]
