I’m embracing the cold weather at the moment – I love waking up to crisp skies, icy breath and pavements that sparkle with frost, and of course I’m beginning to get very excited about my upcoming trip to Iceland. But while I plan for snow, I know others are craving a bit of sunshine. So, I thought I’d share some tips for exploring one of my favourite destinations for winter warmth: the bustling, . . .
Les Guimards stoneware from Eyespy (+ discount)

I’m lucky enough to journey abroad often – partly because of my day job with i-escape.com, and partly because I can’t imagine going any length of time without feeling the call of somewhere new. Some of my adventures for this year have already been booked, others are just beginning to take shape, but I . . .
