France, Italy, and Spain are the triumvirate European countries which are the favorite destinations of tourists from every corner of the globe. Naturally, they are also the preferred backdrops for love struck honeymooners, and while France is lauded as the country of love by default, Spain is definitely the mise en scène you should be obsessed with; if you are not sure why, here are 10 reasons to go on your honeymoon in Spain.
The Maldives has no shortage of overwater bungalows and we had the toughest choice deciding which resort to book for our honeymoon. After what seemed like weeks of research, we settled on LUX* in the beautiful South Ari Atoll thanks to their gorgeous overwater bungalows and rave reviews from previous guests! LUX* is one of the larger resorts in the Maldives, being able to accommodate up to about 300 people and even though we visited during peak season when they were at capacity, it never…
After a whirlwind tour of Sri Lanka, we boarded our hour flight to Male, the capital of the Maldives, or as I like to call it, Heaven on Earth! The Maldives have always been my ultimate honeymoon destination and it almost didn’t feel real to finally be there! I actually had butterflies as I was so excited to be visiting (and honeymooning) in a place which has been at the top of my bucket list for as long as I can remember. For our honeymoon…
While most people choose sunkissed tropical locations for their honeymoon, we decided to do things differently and choose Iceland in winter. Did we have any regrets? Nope! It was an adventure of a lifetime. As adventure lovers, we found Iceland a beautiful blend of activities that got our adrenaline pumping as well as the perfect idyllic paradise to relax. Since the days were short, we finished our outdoor activities early and used the evenings to wind down, have a glass of wine or two and…
UNESCO World Heritage Galle is a city on the southwest coast of Sri Lanka. This gorgeous, historic city is perfect to wander on foot and is famous for the iconic Galle Fort, the fortified old city which was founded by Portuguese colonials in the 16th century. The stone sea walls enclose cobblestoned streets which feature architecture from each of the Sri Lanka’s Portuguese, Dutch and British rules. Galle is charming with its colonial buildings, churches, grand mansions, stylish cafes and restaurants, boutique shops and stunning…
“… and New York is the most beautiful city in the world? It is not far from it. No urban night is like the night there. Squares after squares of flame, set up and cut into the aether. Here is our poetry, for we have pulled down the stars to our will.” This quote from Ezra Pound perfectly describes my feelings toward this crazy, beautiful city. I was born and raised in Italy, while dreaming of New York and the “American Dream”. As soon as…
When we first got married, we didn’t immediately go on our honeymoon. Instead, we deferred our plans to a little later in the year so we could spend it in the secluded Himalayan nation of Bhutan on the northeast border of India (at the time, it was one of the last true monarchies in the world, but since then has switched to democracy—incredibly, on the orders of the king himself). We had heard a lot about Bhutan’s beautiful landscape and imposing Buddhist architecture, and decided…

I always knew that I’d wanted to honeymoon in an overwater bungalow in the Maldives or Bora Bora but when Dan and I got engaged I knew that he wouldn’t be content to spend more than a week relaxing in paradise as he is the kinda person who needs to constantly be doing something! Sri Lanka was a country which had been on both our bucket lists for a long time and as soon as we started looking into booking our Maldives honeymoon, we realised just…
2017 has been an amazing year for us! We moved into our first place together in Australia, got married, honeymooned in the Maldives and Sri Lanka and survived our first full year in Australia. Among all of that we had plenty of weekends away and adventures both at home and away! We ticked off some bucket list items and in usual form added plenty more to the bucket list! The blog has grown even more than we could have expected and we’ve loved every minute…
