London files #4 – Primrose Hill

London files #4 – Primrose Hill

This past Saturday I decided to explore an area of London I’d heard so much about but never actually visited: Primrose Hill. I read somewhere that the area is like Notting Hill, without all the tourists, and it’s such a good way to put it!

No passado sábado decidi explorar uma zona de Londres sobre a qual tinha ouvido…

Copenhagen City Guide – Part 1

For the August bank holiday I wanted to go out of the UK and explore a new city. Copenhagen was the obvious choice as it had been on my list for years! Scandinavia is a region I am fascinated by not just because of its famous sights, but also because of their history, culture, architecture, design and general way of life. Para o feriado de final de Agosto aqui no Reino Unido, quis sair do país e explorar uma cidade nova. Copenhaga foi a escolha óbvia, já que estava na minha lista há anos! A Escandinávia é uma região que…

I wanted to share some memories here because I am so thankful for the brilliant (if totally bonkers) family I have, and the moments I got to spend with them recently.

Firstly, I…
