UK: Cornish Tipi Holidays

Only a mere 5-hour drive from London lives a magical place smack-bang in the middle of what seems like nowhere called Cornish Teepee Holiday. I read about this place from a crisp page of a glossy magazine and it was then and there that I fell love at first sight.

UK: Lavender Farm

Getting off the bus, you could already sense that the farm was only a short walk away as the sweet and strong smell greeted me with wonder. I had packed a picnic basket for lunch and we spent the day eating, talking and playing around under the sun.

UK: Brockenhurst + New Forest

We jumped on a steam train to take us far far away from the city, when we arrived, you can instantly feel the disparity of the country air. Not long after this, we found our cottage. It had a paddock in the backyard that was surrounded by gravel paths leading to unknown places.

California: Hollywood

During our last day in Hollywood, Kieran and I hired a car and spent the entire morning finding secret roads and climbing steep mountains to get the perfect view of the Hollywood sign. It felt like we didn’t stop until the sun went down and our legs gave in on us.

Nevada: Las Vegas

Once we were back on our way, it seemed like there were miles and miles of desert with Joshua trees emerging from its grounds. I spent the rest of the way looking out for the green road signs that counted down the miles of how long there was to go until we reached Las Vegas.

Coachella (a three day long music festival in the middle of the American desert) was one of those things you always dreamed of doing, you need someone to pinch you to remind you that it’s all in fact happening right in front of your eyes.

After many hours on the road, I was becoming restless and eager to reach our next stop. Until there it was – a sign saying ‘Sleep in a Wigwam’ (otherwise known as a teepee) and so we did just that.

Texas: Dallas + Fort Worth Pt.2

By now it had hit me that our time in the wild wild west was coming to an end. And boy have I enjoyed it! The heavy Western accents, the rodeos, the cowboys, the cheap booze, the country music and our mutual admiration for Johnny Cash.
