With the return of @BridgertonNetflix, it's time for a little flashback to my visit to Bath. If this deli looks familiar, that's because it also doubles as the Modiste in the incredible period show that we all know and love. #bridgerton #netflix #filmlocations #tvlocations #bath

The winter chill has me looking forward to warmer days in the outdoors, where I don't need 20 layers. Looking forward to heading back to Fontainebleau in 2026. Probably should do some training, to achieve something other than just eating cheese and drinking wine... #climbing #adventuretravel

This time last year, I was heading to New Zealand with Tourism NZ. One of the highlights was being shown around Whirinaki Forest, an ancient woodland with trees dating back 1,000 years, by Maori guide, Taz. The stories, culture, and nature are completely otherworldly! #newzealand #maoriculture
