This is easily one of the most beautiful places I’ve been to in a whole… and I’ll show you why! No tips, no advice, just a chance to indulge in (photos of) a tropical paradise. None of us could believe our luck when we drove up to the hotel – I think we definitely picked … Continue Reading

After exploring the beautiful street art in Hollywood and stopping off for a bite to eat, we decided to have a little jaunt around Hollywood, Florida – which, in a lot of ways, looks and feels pretty similar to Hollywood in LA with its palm tree-lined avenues and rather cool and sometimes quirky houses. We stopped … Continue Reading

It’s been a while since I’ve visited a place and just felt like I wanted, nay – needed, to stay for much longer.
