The ultimate autumn experience 🎃

I finally made it to @tulleyspumpkins festival, just over an hour from London, and I absolutely loved it 😍

There’s so much to see and do, like walking around the Pumpkin Valley, hop on the ferris wheel, watching the roaming musicians and actors, or picking your own pumpkins (the small ones start from just £1) 🎃

There’s loads of food and drinks too 🧁 I loved the oat pumpkin spice latte served inside a pumpkin and topped with whipped cream 😋 and making my own s’mores was definitely a highlight!

Such a fun autumn day out, make sure you save this! 🍂🎃

📍 Tulleys Pumpkin Farm, Crawley
🎟️ Book online from £12.95 until 31st of October

Unique hidden cafe in the heart of London ☕️

Host Cafe is tucked inside St Mary Aldermary and it’s such a lovely little place. It’s super peaceful and the coffee is actually really good. It’s the perfect spot to work, study, grab a coffee or just escape the craziness of the City for a little while.

And if you’re thinking “a cafe inside a church?”, don’t worry, it actually fits beautifully with the spirit of the place. The Guild Church is home to a new monastic community focused on kindness, openness and making everyone feel welcome, and @hostcoffee is very much part of that.

Open Monday–Friday, 7:30am–4pm ☕️ Definitely one to add to your London list ☺️

And they’re only 1h from London 🇬🇧

If you fancy a little escape from London without going too far, these three are perfect for a day out. You can easily visit all three in one day, or take your time and make a weekend of it 🍂

1)AYLESFORD
A pretty little village by the River Medway, with old cottages, a monastery and some lovely spots for a walk. Perfect for a slow afternoon and a cosy pub stop by the river.

2) KNOLE PARK
A huge deer park with hundreds of wild deer roaming around, plus Knole House right in the middle. The house looks almost like a castle and you can visit the inside too.

3) EYNSFORD
Another lovely village with castle ruins, the river running through it and countryside walks all around. Lullingstone Castle is also just 10 minutes away.

Save this for your next autumn day out 🍂☺️

Unmissable places in Tuscany 🇮🇹

This is one of my favourite regions in Italy, every corner looks like a painting 😍

If you’re planning a trip here, these are some of the places I’d make sure to have on my list 👉🏼

📍 Agriturismo Baccoleno
This is the famous cypress-lined road you’ve probably seen all over Instagram. It’s just outside Asciano and definitely worth a stop if you’re driving around Tuscany, especially at sunset 😍

📍 Gladiator wheat field
If you’re in Pienza, add this to your list. It’s the famous wheat field from The Gladiator and it’s absolutely beautiful 😍

📍 Pienza
Pienza is my favourite little town in Val d’Orcia. Go for a walk around the picturesque centre and make sure to look out for the views over the countryside.

📍 Pienza

📍 Pienza

📍 Monticchiello
This cypress-lined road winding through the rolling green hills has to be one of the most beautiful roads in Tuscany 😍

📍 San Gimignano
A really beautiful medieval town definitely worth visiting 😍 And if you’re here, don’t skip this 👉🏼

📍 Gelateria Dondoli (one of the best gelaterias in the world) for their really unusual gelato flavours, like basil tomato and strawberry which was fantastic 🍦

📍 Florence
You obviously can’t do Tuscany without spending some time in Florence. It will always be one of my favourite cities in Italy 🥹 So much history, beautiful architecture and, of course, amazing food.

📍 San Quirico d’Orcia
A really lovely little town in the Val d’Orcia. It’s small, but definitely worth stopping by when you’re exploring the area.

📍 San Quirico d’Orcia

📍 Podere Spedalone
The views from this agriturismo are honestly so beautiful. Just rolling Tuscan hills, olive trees and the most peaceful countryside.

📍 Siena
One of my favourite cities in Tuscany! It’s full of beautiful streets, stunning historic buildings and quaint taken in Siena, Italy by @wildwindwanders

7 places in Asia you’ve probably never heard of 🌏

1) MUZTAGH ATA GLACIER PARK
Known as the “Ice Mountain Father”, this glacier park is absolutely spectacular. At around 5,000m above sea level, the altitude can definitely be felt. Oxygen masks might come in handy and you may get a headache, but the views are 100% worth it.

2) KARAKUL LAKE
A beautiful lake with the majestic Muztagh Ata towering in the background. Keep an eye out for the camels and yaks wandering around the lake too!

3) BAISHA LAKE
Also known as White Sand Lake, this hidden gem is surrounded by white sand dunes and crystal-clear turquoise water, making it look almost otherworldly.

4) JIAOHE RUINS
This ancient city was carved entirely into a plateau and walking around the ruins feels like exploring a deserted ghost town. It has such an eerie but fascinating atmosphere.

5) HEAVENLY LAKE (TIANCHI)
Surrounded by pine forests and snow-capped mountains, the scenery here is so stunning it could easily be mistaken for Switzerland. You can take a boat ride across the lake or walk up to the temple.

6) KASHGAR
This city feels like stepping back in time. Wander through the ancient Old City, explore the buzzing bazaars and colourful streets, and don’t miss the 100-year-old tea house.

7) URUMQI
A really interesting city to explore. Check out the famous Grand Bazaar, watch the sunset from Red Hill and make sure to try some of the incredible street food, from delicious kebabs to hand-pulled noodles and other local dishes.

Save these for your next adventure in Central Asia 😊

I finally got to live out my childhood dream of sleeping in a castle 🏰🥹

We stayed at @leedscastleuk and waking up to those views was so special 😍

My favourite part was being able to explore the castle and grounds after opening hours, when almost everyone had gone home. It felt so peaceful and slightly surreal having the place almost to ourselves 🙏🏻

There’s loads to do here too, but I was mostly happy just wandering around, taking photos and pretending I lived in a castle 😂

Definitely one for the UK bucket list if you’re looking for a really special staycation ☺️

📍 Leeds Castle, Kent
