In 2019 we are all looking to travel smarter. Have you ever lost money because you could not travel and had a non-refundable flight or a hotel reservation? You are not alone. Millions of people lose money on their unused travel bookings every year because they are not aware of any safe and hassle-free ways to resell their reservations. This is where SpareFare comes into play. SpareFare is a revolutionary new marketplace which allows travellers to buy and sell their non-refundable airline tickets, hotel reservations and holiday packages. It is like an eBay which has been specifically designed for travel reservations, but much more secure. There was a significant gap in the market which has finally been addressed.Continue Reading
St Maarten with Kids | Family Travel Diary
St Maarten has been on our bucket list for as long as I can remember. And St Maarten with kids in tow was not going to stop us. We were scheduled to travel to this Caribbean island oasis in Christmas 2017. However unfortunately, Hurricane Irma had other ideas in mind and due to the island being completely devastated we had to postpone our trip. We rescheduled our family holiday in St Maarten just over 12 months later and it completely lived up to our expectations. This small island is actually split into 2 countries, France and Netherlands, and we spent our time on the Dutch side. Keep reading to learn all about our idyllic family holiday in the Caribbean.Continue Reading

Family Travel Diary | Paris with Kids
A trip to Paris with kids is a very different vacay compared to one sans children. However it makes for a wonderful and memorable city break all the same. Recently our family traveled to Paris for a long weekend. This is the 6th time that I have visited the city of love and I think I am finally starting to get the hang of it. I must say, Paris can be a difficult city if you don’t speak French and don’t know your way around. But there is so much culture, romance and food to indulge in that it is worth the challenge. Keep reading to hear my insights, tips and tricks for enjoying a holiday in Paris with kids.Continue Reading
London’s Most Instagramable Eateries
Saint Aymes, London
I have been UK living for over 2 years now and I am slowly making my way through the list of London’s most Instagramable eateries. What is an Instagramable eatery I hear you say? My definition would be a pretty establishment worthy of the ‘perfect Instagram picture‘. Whether that be for their food or their decor. So I have started with a list of the places I have already tried, and finished with a few more that are still on my wish list!Continue Reading
Travel Diary | Dubrovnik, Croatia
View of the City Walls & Old Town | Dubrovnik, Croatia
I have been wanting to travel to Dubrovnik, Croatia for as long as I can remember. Many of our friends have taken a Croatia Sail cruise along the Adriatic Coast, however unfortunately I think we have missed the boat on that one (excuse the pun). I have only ever heard good things about Croatia and I expected it to be very picturesque. It is also common knowledge that it was one of the key filming locations for the hit TV show, Game of Thrones. I can safely say that Dubrovnik captured my heart at first sight and absolutely took my breathe away. Keep reading for my complete download of our family holiday to Dubrovnik, Croatia.Continue Reading
10 Toys to Occupy a Toddler on a Plane
This year has already seen us take several flights with our toddler, both short haul and long haul. Whilst I love traveling and exploring as a family of three, I also always slightly dread the flight with my toddler whom is 21 months old. We have been fortunate enough to fly Business Class on the long haul flights so that does give us a bit more room and comfort, however it is still very difficult to entertain a little one who is incredibly active but cant quite yet communicate. As such, I have spent a lot of time scouting Amazon for toddler friendly toys and activities. I pack them into our carry-on luggage to keep her entertained during the flight and then use them throughout the holiday. Here are the top 10 toys that I have opted for to help keep my very busy toddler occupied.Continue Reading
Review: Yorkshire Heart Vineyard and Brewery Tour
Yorkshire Heart Vineyard
A vineyard in North Yorkshire you say? You must be joking! But this family run business halfway between York and Harrogate in North Yorkshire is breaking all the rules, and winning awards for their produce. When we first arrived in England, I was surprised to learn about English wineries – when you think of wine country you most certainly don’t think of the UK. But this little gem in Yorkshire is proving us all wrong.Continue Reading
Travel Diary | Sorrento, Italy
Sorrento Dream Resort, Italy
As a family we almost always travel over the Easter holidays – it is a good excuse to get away for a few days without taking any annual leave. This year we opted to travel to Sorrento, Italy. It has been 10 years since we last visited Italy, and the first time for our daughter. We found cheap flights to Naples so were then tasked with the tough decision of where we wanted to be based for our short vacation. I had heard great things about Sorrento and given its close proximity to Naples, it made it an easy choice to explore this coastal town. Continue Reading
