Noma, Copenhagen: my most memorable meal

Imagine a welcome where more than twenty five people greet you, one by one, as you enter a restaurant, the warmest of welcomes. You’re taken through any chef’s dream of a kitchen, as meticulous as can be, with the sound of “Good evening”, “Welcome”, “Hey there”, in a variety of accents from chef after chef.  It’s safe to […]

The Damai, Lovina, Bali

Of all the wonderful places one could wake up, the Damai is one of the most incredible. From the comfiest bed, spectacular views through lush greenery to the sea, the scent of fresh mint growing endlessly in the garden, waking up at the Damai is pretty special! My favourite types of hotel are small and […]

Where to stay in Lombok, Indonesia

            I’ve just come back from a perfect 3 weeks of holidaying in the Indonesian islands of Bali and Lombok. I’m back with a bucketful of very happy memories, a lot of foodie inspiration, and a strong tan! Lombok is still a pretty much tourist-free Island. It’s east of Bali […]

Winter blues for Summer sun

January is definitely the Monday of the year. It starts with a buzz of excitement with hopes and wishes and New Years resolutions… but now all that’s left is a real chill in the air and a massive need to wrap up! When I’m in this mood, I love to grab a large cup of […]

Bueng Pai Farm – an idyllic stay

In Thailand, having no access to a laptop was both a blessing and a curse for me. I loved being able to escape monotony but have neglected you followers unfortunately. Sorry! I promise to be better soon! This trip has been so full of different moments that have been unlike any other. Today I had […]

What clothes to pack for backpacking

Very soon I am off to backpack Thailand for 5 weeks with two of my best friends. One of the questions I’ve been asked, SO many times, when I come back from travelling is “how do you live out of a backpack on holiday?” My friend Tanya has been one of those people so Tan […]

Paris in a day

A picture is said to paint a thousand words… I don’t know about that but I take thousands of pictures and occasionally words don’t come naturally! My final two days in Parisian paradise were fab. The sun decided to come out from hiding and boy did it come out! The skies cleared and the sun […]

Where to eat in Paris

Paris is a food-lovers dream. Endless choices of excellent food both subtle and flavoursome too. Cheese, pastry, chocolate, wine… the words alone make me hungry. Anyone who knows me would know how much I love gastronomy and food in general. Paris did not disappoint! Eating in Paris was a total pleasure. We had breakfast of […]

Charming Montmartre

Our next day in Paris was spent with a few hours looking around the church, having a rummage in Fauchon, my favourite luxury food boutique and the incredible Mariage Fréres, an amazingly vast tea shop (think Charlie’s chocolate factory for tea!) We walked up the Champs-élysées, hit Sephora for some make-up rummaging and did some […]

Paris – Lunch at La Madeleine

Paris is a beautiful expense; expensively beautiful. They say the best things in life are free and the second best are very very expensive! After my wander about Rue Royale and Rue Saint Honoré, streets laced with Chanel, Dior, Miu Miu and the like, and after getting my fair share of pricey window-shopping in, I […]

Paris – the beginning

I recently had my very first trip to France and oh man did I love it! I’d come for a girly city break to Paris with my aunt and it was just fabulous. On Thursday morning I woke up in the glorious city of Paris. Ok so that gives the impression that I woke up […]

Road Trip?

My first holiday abroad was when I was 7 years old. My parents, brother, aunt and I all got onto a plane to Kenya for a two-part trip! We started with blue skies, crystal clear water and a sea-view hotel in Mombasa and spent these days making sandcastles and eating fresh fruit on the beach. […]

The Next Adventure

I have the travel bug. A totally dramatic, all-encompassing, dream-conquering, eye-widening travel bug. “My name’s Reena and I’m a travel-holic…” About 3 years ago today I decided that I would go backpacking before I started University. I was coming to the end of an internship that I absolutely loved and had a big gap before […]

Hello

Hi there… Here we go then! Well this is a blog of my very scattered, smattered thoughts to share – the things that catch my eye and the things that I like – a sort of written channel of my thoughts! So here is me: I’m a massive foodie, a travel-enthusiast, a peoples-person and an […]
