A little bird's tales from her journeys around the world
So you're visiting Edinburgh and you want to know where the best vegan restaurants are? Or you're curious about what your own city has to offer? Here's a few of the places we've tried this month... Hendersons Vegan If you're near Hanover street, Henderson's Vegan café is a perfect spot for lunch near by. It's... Continue Reading →
We flew to Bergamo with Ryanair for an absolute steal because we flew on Friday 13th. Not to tempt fate, but if it's unlucky for some it wasn't for us. It's absolutely worth sitting by the window on a flight from Edinburgh to Bergamo, because there are incredible views as you fly over the... Continue Reading →
I'd been to Paris earlier that summer for work, when I'd spent time by the Seine in the sun. Needless to say it was wonderful but also busy. This was a second chance to explore the city more freely, with my partner, without any particular itinerary. We decided on an eco hotel in Montparnasse called... Continue Reading →
When I asked a Danish friend where I could find the highest concentration of hipsters in Copenhagen, he laughed and gave me directions to the Meatpacking district in Vesterbro.

That much is obvious as soon as you arrive in Anjuna. Anjuna has a nightlife built around Goan trance and psy-trance, and the psychadelic colours and... Continue Reading →
Being in the Northern Territory in Australia is like being on another planet. At least it was for me, coming from Scotland where nothing is very far away from anything and the landscape is wet, muddy and green. Here there is a stark difference in the landscape, the earth is Mars red and there is... Continue Reading →
On my first trip to India, I first flew into Mumbai then caught a flight to Dabolim airport in Goa after travelling for over 20 hours. It was so much cheaper to opt for long stop overs in Amsterdam and Abu Dhabi that I felt like I couldn't turn the opportunity down, however with hindsight... Continue Reading →
