A Walk around West Village, New York City
West Village is one of my favourite neighbourhoods for photography in New York City. With plenty of quiet, tree-lined streets with historic brownstones and independent cafes, bars and boutiques, it has a lively neighbourhood atmosphere while also offering a respite from the madness of New York City. West Village is the western section of Greenwich Village, and you can really feel the different in atmosphere … Continue reading A Walk around West Village, New York City
NYC Life: July 2019
This month’s recap will be very brief, because I was only in New York City for two weeks and they were very low key! I spent the second half of July in Greece, to celebrate a friend’s wedding and spend some time in the Cyclades. More on that soon. New York in July is very hot and sticky, and I can see why most New … Continue reading NYC Life: July 2019
Lacock: A Perfect Cotswolds Village
The English Cotswolds are the fairytale ideal of country life. Lacock is regarded as one of the best-preserved villages in the Cotswolds and was the perfect, picturesque stop to break up the drive between London and Bath. I’ve been industriously editing all my old, forgotten photos lately, and I’ve just found these photos of Lacock from a 2012 trip (yes, bit overdue).It was only a … Continue reading Lacock: A Perfect Cotswolds Village
NYC Life: June 2019
Summer has arrived and it is a beautiful time to be in New York City! June has definitely been the most challenging move of the month to date, but the lowest lows have also come with a few of the highest highs. The difference between moving and travelling is being felt loud and clear this month – funnily enough, when I wrote about this the first time I was … Continue reading NYC Life: June 2019
First Bloom Cherry Blossoms in Central Park
As with everything in New York, the seasons here are intense. Nowhere displays this better than Central Park, the city’s green lung which throughout the year moves from green to gold, to brown & white, and finally to the colours of spring – including a lot of pink! Cherry blossoms and magnolias sprinkle Central Park with shades of pale pink at the start of spring, … Continue reading First Bloom Cherry Blossoms in Central Park
NYC Life: May 2019
May marks my first full month in New York City. The start of May was chilly and rainy, but New York is one of the few cities I know of that improves in the rain. The air smells cleaner and fresher, the streets are momentarily cleaner and the sidewalks are quieter. As a result, the city is in full bloom. Near the end of May, we … Continue reading NYC Life: May 2019

Tenements, Tales & Tastes: A Food & History Tour of New York City
New York City has a rich and diverse culture thanks to generations of immigration. The city has benefited from welcoming immigrants in countless ways, and the most tangible is it’s diverse and delicious cuisine!

New York City is one of my favourite cities in the world as well as my favourite travel destination in the USA.

A Visit to Noosa National Park
Noosa is a popular holiday beach town on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, a bit over an hour’s drive north of Brisbane. Despite spending a lot of my childhood in Noosa and around the Sunshine Coast, I hadn’t spent a lot of time in Noosa in year, and couldn’t remember ever visiting Noosa National Park – or not since I was old enough to remember … Continue reading A Visit to Noosa National Park
