Spa Reviews
Travel is my main passion but there are so many associated things that interest me too - the key is having spa treatments when away, but I will also focus on the enjoyment of craft gins and experiencing different tastes across the world, picking good travel luggage, as well as men’s accessories and grooming products.
Travel Itineraries
I’ve been so lucky to visit some amazing countries all across the globe, here are just a selection of those visited where I have created a detailed itinerary of how we travelled there, where we stayed, for how long etc. Let me know what you think by checking out each of the links and ask if you have any questions? You will find me on social media too - Instagram will have lots of photos of countries visited and more information about each place.
Wellness Journeys
I have been writing hotel and spa reviews, along with the full travel itineraries for some time, but I also love to focus on dedicated spa experience breaks. I’ve therefore created a new section to showcase spa resorts throughout the world - what treatments and therapies they offer, what accommodation is like, and I why I’ve chosen to visit and experience those specific locations.

Welcome to my review of The Savoy London; a stunning 5-star hotel located on the Strand. The location was marvellous, the restaurant options fantastic and the accommodation itself was some of the best that we have experienced when staying in the capital city.
We decided to visit The Savoy as it’s somewhere that has been on my list for such a long time. We had been before to the American Bar and the River Restaurant by Gordon Ramsay, when staying in the nearby One Aldwych (a Leading Hotels of the World property) but never stayed. Having booked to see A Little Life (with James Norton) on its last night of the run at The Savoy Theatre (literally adjacent) it seemed like this was the time to stay.
