Where to Stay in Chicago: Dana Hotel and Spa
I have booked my flight. The next question is: where to stay in Chicago? As much as I like hotels, I always find this extra difficult when I visit a city for the first time. After all, you don't want to end up in a bad neighborhood, or be too far away from all the...
Where to Stay in Chicago: Dana Hotel and Spa
I have booked my flight. The next question is: where to stay in Chicago? As much as I like hotels, I always find this extra difficult when I visit a city for the first time. After all, you don't want to end up in a bad neighborhood, or be too far away from all the sights and restaurants. Then there's the challenge of hotels I like versus hotels I can afford (unfortunately, most of the time not the same list). I decide to look for a hotel in Downtown Chicago. This way I'll be able to walk to...

Marylebone Summer Fayre and Farmers’ Market
Unfortunately for me, I have to cross half the city to get there, but I love shopping in Marylebone High Street. Here you'll find Daunt Books, the Conran Shop, The Natural Kitchen, La Fromagerie and other great shops, boutiques and restaurants. So when I read that...

Sunday Walk in Battersea Park
One of the things I love about London is that it has so many beautiful parks. Sure, the city can be smelly and polluted with all its traffic fumes, but there's always a park nearby where you can escape the city buzz and relax. This morning I woke up early and went to...
Pin it Forward UK
Even though I've been blogging for only a few months now, I've already met so many great people thanks to this blog. If you think bloggers are these nerdy people who can only communicate via their computer... You're wrong. Bloggers are cool! Well, and a bit nerdy from...
The Burlington Arcade
The Burlington Arcade on Piccadilly is really old school London. Fancy stores for the richer happy few. So for me it wouldn't be the place to go to if I want to go shopping, but the walkway itself is beautiful and definitely worth a visit. If only for the 'Burlington...
