Ireland // Tucked into the charming town of Kenmare, @parkkenmare is where art, community, and warm Irish hospitality come together in perfect harmony. 🌿

We spent Easter weekend here, and it was one of the most restorative getaways we’ve had in a long time. Country charm meets modern luxury - from serene mornings greeted by birdsong (with @bluebottle coffee in hand), to afternoons exploring the Wild Atlantic Way and unwinding in the spa.

Every wall tells a story through its thoughtfully curated art. With Kenmare’s acclaimed restaurants just a two-minute stroll away, and the rugged beauty of the Irish coast right at your doorstep, this hotel is pure Irish magic.

Save this for your next trip 🇮🇪

THAT GREEK ISLAND FEELING - Part 1/5 🇬🇷: Santorini (save for later)

This little series is my love letter to the Greek islands and how they make me feel. Capturing their essence is akin to bottling lightening, but hopefully this allows you to feel something similar to the real thing - whether that’s contentment, peace, joy, awe, or relief that beautiful corners of the world still exist.

Starting off strong with the most famous island of them all. Touristy? Yes. Overpriced? Definitely. However, this island remains popular for a reason - and is absolutely magical.

Santorini sits next to a caldera that is vast and alluring. Swimming in these thermal waters is a nourishing experience, as is going off the beaten track to less flashy spots and enjoying the island for its soul.

One of my favourite moments was on a fishing boat with my family, anchored in the heart of the caldera. Sunbaked and salty, we savoured freshly caught and grilled fish, paired with our local captain’s homemade tomato fritters - true contentment.

Watch until the end for my short-list guide and perfect day in Santorini 🤍

📍Save this for your next trip! Is Santorini on your list?

Lake District // spend a relaxing (and indulgent) afternoon at @gilpinhotel 🍃

The @gilpinhotel is a wonderful country house located near Lake Windermere. We loved the Spa Space, enjoying the cedar wood hot tub and @espaskincare aromatherapy massages overlooking the fells. Our day ended with a flawless dinner at @source.at.gilpinhotel, their Michelin-starred restaurant focused on seasonality.

Make sure to save this for your next UK weekend away 🤍

Tokyo // @trunkhotel_catstreet might be the coolest hotel in Shibuya.

Tucked away at the end of trendy Cat Street, this design-forward hotel blends sustainability with style, featuring upcycled furnishings that seamlessly mix old and new. The lively yet serene lobby serves as a creative hub for Tokyo’s tech and design scene — just minutes from the energy of Shibuya Crossing.

Every detail feels intentional, and we particularly loved the nightly turndown service (complete with fresh flowers and sleep spray). A must stay 🌿

Kyoto // moments of zen, awe, and joy in this beautiful city 🌿

Tips:
• food places with Google ratings between 3.5 - 3.9 tend to be the true, local finds! Although there are great spots with higher ratings, they are typically more touristy (with very long lines)
• skip Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, and instead visit Kodai Ji Temple - much quieter and just as beautiful
• waking up early is very much worth it to avoid the crowds

Takayama // discover the magic of Takayama, an Edo-period town nestled in the Japanese Alps 🇯🇵🌿

I fell in love with its beautifully preserved streets, cozy sake breweries, family-run tea shops and incredible Hida craftsmanship.

Although slowly appearing on more “off the beaten path” Japan itineraries, Takayama has managed to maintain its old-world charm (and doesn’t yet suffer from Kyoto’s overtourism).

Don’t miss:
• The many sake breweries, including Hirata, Kawashiri and Funasaka - due to the colder climate, Takayama sake is famous for its use of pure mountain water
• Showa Kan Museum - a retro museum allowing you to explore incredible sets depicting Japanese life in the 20th century
• Miyagawa Morning Market - stretching along the river, artisans sell their wares and vendors offer delicious local food
• Sakurayama Hachimangu Shrine - the oldest shrine in Takayama
• Hida beef (a type of regional Wagyu) at @ajino_yohei_funasaka_brewery
• Top tier coffee from @falo_coffee_brewers

Japanese Onsen // After a few days in Tokyo, we took the Shinkansen to Gunma Prefecture for a quiet New Year’s escape.

@takaragawa_onsen_osenkaku is a traditional ryokan set in the mountains by a river. We spent one night enjoying the hot springs and surrounding nature. The onsen has three public, mixed-use baths, making it a great option for couples or friends.

The stay includes use of Yukatas (traditional robes), a kaiseki dinner, and transport from Jomokogen Station. I can’t say I’m a futon-convert, but the experience as a whole was exactly what we needed. If you’re looking for a more authentic side of Japan, this is definitely worth considering.

Japan // Unseen memories from my first trip 🇯🇵

Back in March, I took a solo trip to Japan where I explored Tokyo’s bustling streets, experienced Kanazawa’s timeless beauty, saw Hiroshima’s resilience, felt Osaka’s vibrant energy, and enjoyed Kyoto’s serenity. 🌿

I fell so in love with the country that I’m counting down to a winter adventure! We will be visiting Tokyo, Gunma Province, Takayama, and Kyoto. ❄️

Planning this next trip, I’m reflecting on highlights from the previous one:

• Nomura Samurai House, Kanazawa
• Higashiyama (Geisha District), Kanazawa
• @geisha_evenings at @kaikarojapan, Kanazawa - phenomenal experienced hosted by Lady Baba
• @torifito.hotel.pod.kanazawa capsule hotel, Kanazawa
• Itsukushima Shrine, Miyajima Island
• Delicious matcha parfait at @chanowa_official, Hiroshima
• Famous Okonomiyaki at Okonomi Village, Hiroshima
• Peace Memorial (Genbaku Dome), Hiroshima
• Fushimi Inari, Kyoto
• Arashiyama Park look out over the Oi River, Kyoto
• Visiting the @gekkeikansake_jp museum in Fushimi, Kyoto
• Otoro at Kaiten Sushi, Osaka
• Shinkansen (bullet train) pulling into the station
• Senso-ji temple, Tokyo
• sizzling wagyu for breakfast at Tsukiji Fish Market, Tokyo
• Omakase dinner at @sushitokyo.shibuya, Tokyo
• Piglet cuddles at @mipigcafe, Tokyo
• Lunch at @gyukatsu_motomura, Tokyo
• Finding a hidden gem in Tsukiji Fish Market, Tokyo

• trundle past palm trees on the famous overnight train from Chiang Mai to Bangkok (we scored first class tickets ahead of time for less than £50 each)

Koh Lipe // Reminder that the best time to visit Thailand is between November and April 🇹🇭 🏝️

It can be difficult deciding on which islands to explore, so let me recommend Koh Lipe ✨ The perfect all-rounder, with its remote southern location, famously blue water, delicious restaurants, and lovely hotels.

Some highlights:
• staying on the beach at @castawayresortkohlipe
• sundowners at Zodiac Bar
• golden hour longtail boat rides from Sunrise Beach to Sunset Beach
• snorkelling trip into Tarutao National Park
