A week on the White Isle ticking off the bucket-list. Who would think you could be 30 weeks pregnant and still be able to visit Pacha, go on a boat party, lounge in beach bars, hit the foam party, alongside some quality family time. Read on ’cause it is possible.

I find it hard to put into words how I felt about Rome. Wandering its streets felt like being in a Roman theme park, with snippets of knowledge taught back in school flooding back. Upon turning each corner, you stumble upon another ancient icon and your breathe is taken away. Italy’s capital city is simply stunning. […]

I have heard some describe Singapore as dull. In fact I am pretty sure that Time Out voted it one of the world’s least exciting cities.
