If you, like me, are permanently on the internet, with a TikTok addiction and way too many hours spent scrolling Instagram reels, you’ll know that each city has places that have gone viral. Sometimes it’s a sunset spot, sometimes a jewellery shop, sometimes it’s a gelato place, but it’s always all over my feed as soon as I’ve seen one video about it. When I first … [Read more...]
Zero Box Lodge Porto review
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

I also love Pastel de natas, so when I spotted that Getyourguide does Pastel de … [Read more...]

In July 2026, that changed, when our football team, Burnley, planned to play a friendly against Ajax. We … [Read more...]
Toastable review, The Netherlands
When we were last in Amsterdam, in July 2026, I knew I wanted to try some different food, rather than just relying on pancakes and fries (pancakes and fries were also consumed, don't worry!). I'm also researching in preparation for a complete guide to Amsterdam post I'm working on, so I started to look into well-rated places to eat in Amsterdam. Toastable kept coming … [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...]
