We are now four weeks back into living in the UK after our repatriation. It’s felt so much harder moving back 'home' than it ever did moving to Singapore.

So last weekend we booked a cheeky very last minute stay at Telunas Beach Resort with our friends and within just 12 hours of booking we were on the water and on our way to Pulau Sugi. I must admit that I wasn't sure which of the photos I’d seen on their instagram we’d be stepping into later that day...
Nikoi Island Resort is well set up for families, our kiddos say that kids club was their favourite part of the holiday. They basically spent all-day making woodwork spears, arrows, shields, catapults and even a sailing boat. Check out this Nikoi Island Review...
Not many people know this (myself included before we moved here) but Singapore is actually the perfect base for some relaxing island hopping holidays. There are 100s of beautiful islands which can be reached by boat from this city island. We've been lucky enough to escape to a few of them but there are lots …
Parents coming to stay? Not sure where to take them this time? Already exhausted your fail proof list; including Marina Bay Sands, The Night Zoo and everything in between.

In October we took the kids to Bali for their first trip, and my husband's first trip up to Ubud. I was a bit conscious about doing the same trip which I'd done with a friend earlier in the year (link here) and wasn't sure it would be as much fun for them. But I …

I absolutely love to take this pause in the year and reflect on what I've enjoyed travel wise and what I'd like to include more of. It's something I've been doing since during the Pandemic. My intention was always to do this in January but now I like to do it as the kids go …

Back when the pandemic was but a whisper we had a trip to Nikoi Island Resort booked with some dear friends. We’d talked their ears off about how amazing it was and they had finally agreed to go there with us. It was also my friend's birthday around the time of our trip, so we …

I feel that part of the beauty of travel is also in the food that’s eaten whilst you’re away, so much culture is shared by not only those moments around the table with locals but also in the food preparation. When the food is brought fresh from farm to table or even garden to table. …
