Street Food Cartel Glasgow


Walking along the industrial street which was peppered with street art we weren't quite sure what we were letting ourselves in for. It was an unusual venue for dinner to say the least. But Read more

Where to Stay in Brighton, Vine Street Studios


I've written previously about my penchant for finding an amazing apartment or house instead of a hotel in certain destinations, and sometimes that can be as tough as searching for a proverbial needle in Read more

Brighton Street Art

Luxury Living at Archerfield Links

Posted on by Emma Gray in Scotland | Leave a comment

One of my favourite places to stay in Scotland is at Archerfield Links Golf Club luxury lodges. With my birthday coming up later this week (it’s on Friday and, yes, presents are welcome!), we decided to head out there for a weekend and enjoy a spot of luxury.

Archerfield Links Lodges

My favourite thing about the lodges is the stunning views you can enjoy from every window, and especially from the large balcony. All of the lodges offer views over the golf course and I can’t wait to come back in summer and savour the views on a warm evening with a cool glass of wine in hand. Read more

Why I Think I Could Live in Berlin

Posted on by Emma Gray in Germany | Leave a comment

Berlin really is a place that I could imagine living in. I’ve written before on my previous trip to Berlin about how I worried I wouldn’t be ‘cool’ enough, or edgy enough, or hipster enough, or just enough for Berlin. I then spent the whole trip realising that it doesn’t matter who you are in Berlin, nobody seems to care. Everyone seems to be accepted here, and it’s part of the reason why I love it.

The Street Art of Berlin

Posted on by Emma Gray in Germany, Travel Tales | 2 Comments

Berlin is a place that is world renowned for its street art, and it certainly doesn’t disappoint. It seems as though at every turn you are confronted with street art of some kind. Some of it is truly interesting, thought provoking and makes walking around Berlin that bit more exciting as you never know what you’ll stumble upon next. Here’s some of my favourite pictures of the street art of Berlin…

The Best Restaurants in Glasgow

Posted on by Emma Gray in Scotland | 5 Comments

Whenever I’m not travelling, and I’m spending some time at home working I like to eat out in Glasgow. Glasgow’s got some fantastic restaurants so I wanted to share my round-up of the best restaurants Glasgow has to offer (in my humble opinion!)…

Best Grill

The Grill on the Corner is a place I go to eat once every couple of weeks with friends. It has a great atmosphere, chic decor and absolutely delicious food. It’s most famous for it’s steaks, which are amazing, but I also have a major soft spot for their fajitas. They also serve great cocktails, which you can enjoy with your meal, or before or after dinner in their comfortable bar area. Trust me, their cocktails are amazing!

The Beauty of Dubrovnik

Posted on by Emma Gray in Croatia | 5 Comments

Dubrovnik was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979 because of the stone protective walls which stretch for almost two kilometres around the city. I’ve walked on the walls twice and the views from the top are simply stunning and are certainly well worth the climb. I’ll warn you now, though, it can be quite slippery underfoot so make sure you have sensible footwear on if you plan to do this – trust me, I know this from experience. Walking in a pair of incredibly pretty, but highly impractical sandals is best avoided lest you end up with a sore bum and even sorer sense of pride!
