The sun’s shining, the Champagne’s on ice and there’s a double birthday celebration for both me and the blog. On the Luce has reached it’s seventh anniversary (and I’ve reached a slightly older age!) after another big year –…
Where can you travel in one day? I try to fit in as many trips as I can, but it sometimes feels like it’s not worth visiting somewhere for just a day. That you can’t see enough or it’s…

South West Wales was where I spent my first-ever holidays, all beach days and rockpooling. But I can’t say I really appreciated the area’s foodie side, unless you’re talking about choosing my favourite ice cream flavour. But this part…
A lot of places boast breathtaking scenery, but my trip with Jungfrau Railways was the first time a view really took my breath away. As I looked around I could feel my head spin and my knees go weak.…
![With its spectacular architecture, Prague isn’t known as the ‘City of a Hundred Spires’ for nothing, but it’s also got 30 bridges, castles, palaces, parks and gardens to explore – and not to mention Europe’s cheapest beer.
