It brings together history and modernity, reflects the past and, at the same time, takes visitors on a trip to the future.This sprawling metropolis is full of intriguing contrasts and forever changing. Bangkok reaches to the stars, with apartment towers on the Chao Phraya River growing higher and the shopping malls getting larger and more sophisticated. The city is the ultimate trend setter. In a short time, Thailand’s capital has flourished into South-East Asia’s design and fashion stronghold. There are five districts in Bangkok that tend to appeal to visitors.…

Plant Bae Edinburgh | Vegan and vegetarian cafe
Plant Bae is a vegan and vegetarian cafe in the West End of Edinburgh, a mere stones throw away from the center’s smaller Haymarket train station. It’s an impressive pint-sized addition to Edinburgh’s growing list of vegan-friendly cafes; a trendy little spot to enjoy a weekend brunch or a casual coffee. You can find even more inspiration in my vegan breakfast in Edinburgh post. Pretty cafes in Edinburgh With its little pastel coloured booths and neat rows of bar-stooled benches, Plant Bae reminds me of the small (but fashionable) fast-food vegan cafes you might find hidden amongst the streets Berlin or Milan.

A lot quieter than some of the popular Goa hotspots, Palolems white sands and chilled out evenings are the perfect place to wind down.

How to get to Wailing Widow Falls, Loch na Gainmhich
The Wailing Widow Falls is a spectacular waterfall in the Scottish Highlands that can be viewed from both above and below. The 50ft falls spill out over the cliff from Loch na Gainmhich, crashing into a narrow canyon at the bottom. The Wailing Widow Waterfall was one of my ‘must see’ spots on our NC500 tour (check out my 4-day itinerary here). I came across it by chance whilst scrolling through Scottish Instagram feeds and chatting to photographers who’d already done the popular road trip. Big Waterfalls in Scotland There are loads of big waterfalls in Scotland, the highest waterfall in Scotland (and the UK) is actually located just a short…

NC500 Scotland 4 Day Itinerary
Whilst planning our NC500 Scotland 4 day itinerary, it was proving difficult to find a post that listed accommodation and the best things to see all in one place. There’s so much about the famous Scottish Highlands road trip to cover, and most websites involved a lot of scrolling and jumping from page to page. In this post, I’ve tried to break our NC 500 route down into days, whilst including the accommodation we used along the way. NC500 Scotland Route Planner So, the big question first, “Which way to go?” Although most people go West to East, we went East to West (starting in Inverness and working our way…

Vegan-friendly restaurants in Palolem
Vegetarian and vegan restaurants in Palolem are a dime a dozen, most focusing on a more Western palette with sushi bowls, breakfast pancakes, sandwiches and vegan sweet treats. The main strip directly behind the beach has lots of modern cafes and eateries perfect for vegan breakfast, lunch or dinner. I certainly didn’t get to try all of them, but here’s a quick run down of the vegan Palolem hotspots that I did manage to check out … Zest I’d been following these guys on Instagram for a good couple of months before I arrived in Palolem, so I was already quite clued up on their vegan offering when I finally…

Vagator’s vegan-friendly restaurants
Goa has a reputation for being really vegan-friendly, however, going vegan in Vagator is still somewhat challenging (due to India’s fondness of egg and gee/butter). With so few blogs touching specifically on vegan-friendly Vagator spots, I’ve pulled together a list of the reliable eateries that I came across during my short time there. Bean me up Bean Me Up is a vegan/ plant based dream. With its lush green plant canopy, spacious wooden tables, lounging chairs and twinkling nighttime fairy lights, expect to pay more than you would for a standard roadside establishment. For backpackers, this jungle paradise is a treat, whilst for short-term travelers, it’s still a lot cheaper…

Should you be using Canva for Pinterest to increase blog traffic?
Business owners plug hours and hours of promotional time into Facebook, Instagram and twitter. But, how many of you are capitalising on Pinterest to promote your online services? And more importantly, could Canva and Pinterest be used to help increase your blog traffic or business hits? Where is your blog/business traffic coming from? 35% of my traffic comes from Pinterest (second only to organic traffic from search engines). So, if you’re not using it, you might be missing out on valuable (and profitable) traffic. My website traffic now generates an extra bit of side income for me; you can read about this in my blog post, ‘How to make money…
