Discovering Franschhoek: South Africa’s Romantic Wine Region
Franschhoek describes itself as the valley of dreams. I would describe it as the valley of romance. As the ground blooms in shades of green for as far as the eye can see and the skies fill with orange hues at the end of the day, falling in love is expected. But however you look at it, the region is a captivating paradise exuding charm and beauty. Nestled in the heart of South Africa’s Western Cape, surrounded by majestic mountains and verdant vineyards, this picturesque town presents a symphony of old-world elegance and modern allure.

Seven Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Faro, Portugal
Read on to find list of great vegetarian restaurants in Faro. Even though I’m not the biggest foodie, one of my favourite things to do while travelling is trying the local cuisine. You can bet I spent hours stuffing my face with patatas bravas and sipping sangria in Barcelona and treating myself to colourful collections of Turkish delight in Istanbul.

The beautiful southern European nation is known for its seafood and meat-heavy gastronomy, so besides the delicious port wine, there isn’t much in the local cuisine for a vegetarian to taste.

Street food is travel culture. Indulging in street food has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Of course, as a vegetarian, I don’t enjoy every variety out there – but definitely enough to appreciate national cuisines.

This is one of my favourite things to look forward to whenever I’m home. This sentiment of trying out street food is something I’ve taken with me wherever I travel because street food…

Indulging in luxury afternoon tea is one of the most popular cultural experiences in London – but is it worth the money? Tea is ingrained in British culture, and hi-tea is an event that dates back almost as far back as the introduction of the drink to island itself. Over 150 years after the seventh Duchess of Bedford began serving a meal between lunch and dinner, the concept of afternoon tea has become a norm in England and many other parts of the world. What’s not to love about tasting warm beverages and delicious finger foods in cosy or elegant environments? Truthfully though, I never did care much for having…
