The Travel Vine

The last few months have been quite stressful. 🥴 Before I get to the good stuff, I need to vent for a second. I've been offline because a horrible company decided to illegally take my blog down and block access to my account. I honestly don't understand why big corporations do this. I mean, what satisfaction could they possibly get from being such total snakes? 🐍 Anyway, I am officially back online and so incredibly relieved that this whole debacle is almost fully resolved.

Honestly, it's been a really difficult few months. Between this blog issue, some tough health struggles, and looking ahead at a very hectic next year, I've been needing some light at the end of the tunnel.

Which is why I am SO excited to finally share that my family and I are heading to the UK for Christmas! 🇬🇧🎄✨

Of course, I'm super keen to visit all the beautiful Christmas markets and catch up with as many family and friends as possible while we are there, and we are planning on visiting heaps of new places we've never been to before. I am especially hoping my daughter gets to see snow for the very first time! ❄️😊

Bring on a British Christmas! ❤️🧥🌨️

We also just hit a major milestone on our vacation countdown app-we are officially at less than 100 days until we jet off! 🛫

This photo was taken around 12 years ago on London Bridge, and looking at it makes me realise just how much I've missed London. I cannot wait to go back, get some up-to-date photos, and explore more of this fantastic city.

Anywhere you recommend I visit? Let me know if the comments 😊

I’m so excited to share my latest post on one of my favourite places on the South Coast, just a short drive from home and only two hours from Sydney, Jervis Bay 🌊

Think impossibly white sand 🤍, aqua blue water that looks photoshopped 💙, and dolphins swimming right alongside the boat 🐬

This is a place I keep coming back to again and again, and it never gets old. Read the full post to see why it absolutely deserves a spot on your Aussie bucket list ✨

When planning a trip to Australia, it’s easy to focus on the big names like Sydney, Melbourne, the Great Ocean Road or Uluru. But some of the most memorable places sit just beyond the usual tourist trail. Since moving to the South Coast of New South Wales in 2019, I’ve explored a lot of this

If there was ever a fun, colourful and vibrant place to visit, it’s Valparaíso in Chile 🇨🇱✨ Streets bursting with murals, bold street art around every corner and so much character, it honestly felt like walking through an open-air gallery.

This shot was taken on a very hot day… and we were all slightly worse for wear after celebrating our last night in Chile 😅 But even with the heat and a bit of a hangover, I couldn’t help but fall completely in love with this place.

We only spent three days in this incredible country, but it left such an impression on me. It’s definitely somewhere I’ll be coming back to explore properly one day.

Next week, I’ve got a brand new blog post coming where I’ll be sharing tips on one of my favourite places close to home, so keep an eye out 👀 If you’re already dreaming about your next trip, you’ll find plenty more inspiration over on my blog 🌍✈️

I’m not usually a wine drinker, but in surroundings like this… I could definitely be convinced! 🍷 And in Chile no less… country number 22 for me! However, the day didn’t exactly start that way. We woke up to bad storms, and it was so rough that I honestly thought our winery visit would be cancelled.

The drive there wasn’t much better, with misty mountains in the distance and rain lashing against the coach windows the whole way 🌧️ It felt like one of those days where nothing quite goes to plan… and then somehow, the moment we arrived, the sun came out. Perfect timing ☀️

While everyone was busy making their own wine (yawn 😴), I took the opportunity to wander off and explore the property instead. And honestly, I’m so glad I did. I had the place almost entirely to myself, just as golden hour hit, casting the most beautiful glow over the vineyards and making everything look even more incredible in photos ✨

Moments like this are exactly why I love to travel 🤍

One of the things I love the most about Buenos Aires was the surprise around every corner. Like their stunning cathedral which could rival St.Peters Basilica at the Vatican in terms of beauty 😍

Ever dreamed of wandering through the most colourful neighbourhood in Buenos Aires? 🇦🇷🎨

If not, you should definitely add it to your bucket list! For a massive football (soccer) fan like me, this vibrant neighbourhood was one of the spots I was most looking forward to visiting. Home to the legendary Boca Juniors and their iconic stadium, La Bombonera, La Boca bursts with energy — from its brightly painted houses and lively street murals to locals dancing tango along Caminito Street. 💃💛💙

When we visited, Boca Juniors had a match that night, so fans were already gathering in the nearby bars, soaking up the pre-game atmosphere. There was a real buzz in the air, and combined with the street art and South American vibes, I could have happily stayed all night! 🌆

Would you love to wander through La Boca or catch a game at La Bombonera one day? 💭

Walking around Buenos Aires 🇦🇷, one of the coolest cities I’ve ever visited 😎, I was struck by how many powerful murals and pieces of graffiti I came across, like this one 🎨. In Spanish, it says “Ni Olvido, Ni Perdón,” which translates to “Neither Forgetfulness Nor Forgiveness.”

Around 40 years ago, during Argentina’s dictatorship, many people were taken and never seen again 💔. In response, the mothers of the missing began to protest, wearing the white headscarves you can see here — a symbol of their fight for truth and justice ✊🤍.

Have you been to Buenos Aires? What did you think of it as a place to visit? I can’t wait to go back one day ✈️💭.

Would a gondola ride be at the top of your Venice bucket list? 🚤✨

Our first day in Venice was definitely one to remember! 🇮🇹

After my mum went missing the night before (yes, really 😅), we had a moment of panic thinking she’d wandered off again when we arrived back at the hotel the next morning… only to find her sitting safely inside! Talk about relief.

Once the drama was over, we kicked things off with one of the most iconic Venetian experiences you can have—a gondola ride. Gliding down the canals, seeing the city from the water, and soaking up the atmosphere was pure magic. It felt like the perfect way to start our adventure. 💫

👉 Be honest, has anyone in your family ever given you a scare by wandering off on holiday?
👉 Or if you’ve been to Venice, what was your favourite “first day” memory?

You can read the full story of my families first couple of days in Venice over on the blog! 💻
