USA Road Trips: Driving The Sitgreaves Pass, Arizona Route 66
Out of Route 66’s 2451 miles, in my opinion Arizona is home to the route’s best miles, not only does it have some unique attractions, it also has my favourite stretch of road! When you are doing a road trip such as Route 66, it’s not so much the ‘destinations’ which are the highlights, you have to embrace the whole road and the complete journey. The Sitgreaves Pass is definitely an awesome drive that’s not to be missed!

A typical British thing to do is to go out for Afternoon Tea! I’ve been a fan of the smaller ‘Cream Tea’ version for as long as I can remember, thanks to my caravan holidays in Devon and Cornwall where they are extremely popular (St Agnes, Cornwall I’m looking at you with your GIANT scones)! As an Essex girl (not in the TOWIE sense) born and raised, with a Facebook friend list with lots of fellow Essex locals, I called on them for their favourite places to go for Afternoon Tea in Essex!

6 Must See Stops On A Marathon to Key West Florida Road Trip!
Marathon to Key West may only be 45 miles apart, with a straight through drive time of around an hour, but the following stops should definitely be on your itinerary!

Things To Do In Mombasa, Kenya & My Safari in Tsavo!
Kenya was one of the first overseas countries that I visited (go big or go home!) and it opened my eyes to the whole travel world!

But of course we explored some of the country too, so here are some of my favourite places to go in Mombasa including our side trip safari in Tsavo National Park!

There’s nothing that a British person loves more than to moan about the weather. It’s in our blood.

Ladies and gentlemen I give you the Midwest Polar Vortex 2019.
