Bali Sight Seeing and a day in Ubud Rice Paddies in Ubud Bali sightseeing and a day in Ubud Ubud in the centre of Bali is an area of great natural beauty, filled with rice paddy fields on steep ravines. It would be a real shame to go to Bali and not visit Ubud. We went for the day, but next time I plan to stay for a few nights

Bali Sleeping

Bali Sleeping Dreamland Beach Where to stay The main resort areas in Bali are Seminyak, Kuta, Ubud, Nusa Dua and Jimbaran Bay. Kuta is effectively the commercial centre, it’s the Aussie equivalent of Benidorm, good for surfers and partying. It’s quite tacky, a visit is ok but I wouldn’t want to stay there.

Singapore Shopping

October 15, 2011

Singapore Shopping Orchard Road One of the best shopping destination I have ever been to! Put it this way for quite a small city there are 5 Prada stores, 5 Louis Vuittons and over 50 shopping malls! Now that is what I call serious about shopping. But if malls are not you’re thing and you get your fill of H&M and Zara back at home, there are other quirky more

Singapore – Sleeping

Singapore Sleeping Where to Stay Apart from the iconic places to stay in Singapore, namely Raffles and The Marina Bay Sands (see after dark) there are hundreds of fantastic hotels to choose from. For great deals on boutique hotels check out www.splendia.com Singapore isn’t that big and it’s easy getting around in a taxi, I would recommend the best areas to stay if you’re on holiday are the Marina or Orchard

I’ve been to Paris more times than I can remember, the first time officially was in my mother’s tummy (maybe why I like French food so much!), through to the many work trips, fashion weeks and shoots I’ve been on over the past few years. Best time to go? I love Paris in the summer when the bars
