I Will Survive, And So Will You.
There are vital things that will boost your immunity (crucially) and the many highly esoteric things that just make you feel a bit happier when staying home for three months or more. I think all three are important.
Taking Off With Virtual Travel in 2020
Virtual travel has been waiting patiently in the wings but now, with physical travel on hold for the foreseeable future, it really is it’s time to shine. Holiday Goddess help you head to locations around world with a click of your mouse, instead of the roar of a jet engine.
Matakana: A Foodies’ Paradise
Matakana’s famous farmer’s market is located in a quaint village on Auckland’s rural outskirts, which turns out to be a foodies’ paradise.
Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras
If you are travelling to Sydney in late February, pack your highest heels or your shiniest boots, your shortest skirt or you most colourful overalls, your most uplifty bra or most studded leather vest and throw yourself into this most joyous and optimist event that celebrates and reinforces the diversity of Sydney we love.
Take The Long Way Home
Avoid flygskam, or flight shame, with the help of former CEO of Lonely Planet, Daniel Houghton’s book “Wherever You Go – A Guide to Mindful, Sustainable, and Life-Changing Travel”.
Paris: Cheap Hotel Survival
Paris is overpriced. That’s a shame because getting there from London is affordable and easy. The hotels above three-star are expensive, which means a shorter stay, and less money for those amazing restaurants. Shame!
London: Best Secondhand Chanel
A short walk from Victoria London Underground Station in Pimlico, you will find a charity shop with a difference. Retromania sells secondhand at prices better than eBay and has a wonderful bargain basement.
Sydney: Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras 2020
“What Matters” is the theme of the 2020 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras to embrace the issues of the LGBTI+ community (and the rest of us). The issues in 2020 range from belonging to sustainability.
London: Best Charity Shops for Women
How do we define ‘best’ charity shops in a city as big as London? Well, it’s got to be – the most shops, in the nicest place for cafes/bars, in the least picked-over territory, with the wealthiest and most stylish donors.
London: Eating at the British Museum
There is real magic to be found in the London museum, though – and it’s hidden on the ground floor.
The Court Café, a family-friendly café is great for grabbing a quick bite to eat or a coffee during your Museum visit.
London: Kings Cross St. Pancras Station
Upstairs at Kings Cross St. Pancras train station you will find Sir John Betjeman and a huge, romantic space to wine or dine.
Hobart: Some Say It’s The Best Shop In Tasmania
Hobart is so small that you can happily walk around it and think you’ve ‘done’ the shops – most of which are in or around the Elizabeth Street Mall.
