Travel Essence - 12 Travel Tips, Treats & Tricks

Image
Thinking that you have everything   well organised for a trip and finding out you missed a few things out can be frustrating . This can be so many of us when planning for the perfect holiday, and I know my plan wasn't on point when I traveled to New York but this time I was determined to do so for my next long-haul holiday. I realised there were so many things to remember... So I had to share (in no particular order) 12 tips, treats and tricks with you that can make your next trip away stress-free! 1.  When packing clothes, instead of folding, ROLL your clothes, you'll be surprised as to how much space you still have left compared to when folding clothes. 2. Pack for the amount of days you're staying  - You don't want your suitcase to be filled up and not have enough room for your presents and extra buys. 3. Check the weather forecast for the duration of your stay- Its good to know what type of weather you're packing for. Trust...

Travel Essence; WHAT TO DO IN DUBAI FOR EIGHT DAYS- Day. 2

Image
2  - DUBAI MUSEUM  This is the perfect place to visit as a family where you can understand the Dubai today vs ancient Dubai. The Dubai Museum is certainly a place that brings to life what is of the past as it was built in the Al Fahidi Fort in 1787 which was known to be one of the oldest buildings in Dubai.  The fact that Dubai was just a desert land, went through its hardships with the kings and today is known for its buildings and lavish lifestyle and culture; it is represented beautifully at the Museum. I would say visiting in November while celebrating their 45th Anniversary was definitely the perfect trip!  The culture of Dubai is not just made up of sky scrapers and their ultimate lavish lifestyle;  but all of this was developed from the success of  Dubai's oil, pearl and sea trade and the trade continues to flourish today. As mentioned before the Dubai Museum brings the Ancient Dubai to life- you understand their traditional way of life, th...

  3 - DUBAI MALL & DUBAI FOUNTAINS  Photo Credit: Bayut  Hope you're all  enjoying the iteniary for eight days in Dubai. I can't wait to hear your experiences in this beautiful city! Don't forget to leave a comment on what else I should have done while in Dubai. :) To get to the Dubai Mall, we took the Dubai Metro from JBR to the Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall Station. It's a lovely journey on the train with the views of the city.  The Dubai Mall is known to be the largest mall in the world. If you wanted to walk around the whole mall in one day.. it wouldn't even be possible that's how massive it is and there's so much to do in the mall! But one thing I can say it is a beautiful architecture from inside out. It includes over 1,200 retail shops, attracting 54 million visitors every year. My family and I are definitely one of the millions who had visited this amazing attraction.  I feel like we had an enjoyable shopping experience but there was a lot of walking...

Travel Essence - AMSTERDAM

Image
The joys of being a tourist... A short break seems like its always needed and I got the chance to take a uni trip to Amsterdam in November 2015 with a few of my colleagues and of course my lectures came. I've heard so many things about weekend breaks to 'Dam and finally I got the chance to go. As soon as most people hear Amsterdam the first thing is the Red Light District or weed cafes, but obviously there's more to the Dutch lifestyle - the classic bike rides and canals, traditional beers and the people you meet! I will do my very best to share this trip with you recommendations and hopefully you'll be paying a visit to AMSTERDAM too! Accommodation We stayed at the Meininger Hostel, City West. A great location which is very close to the Sloterdijk railway station (five minutes walk). This hostel is definitely ideal for students or if you're looking for an affordable and accessible place to stay. The staff are helpful especially as a lot of st...

The essence of travel is like being in another world. What feels like lifetime is only like 2 weeks. You meet amazing people and keep in touch, you finally meet family members that you've never met and you cherish every moment! Don't you just love that feeling?? It doesn't even have to be in another part of the world; it could be that hour trip away for a peaceful weekend that makes you appreciate nature and your well-being! Travel comes in so many ways - leisure, passion, career, inspirations and so much more. I love it! Here is a chance to be part of that through the World Travel Market! I'm so excited to post a lot more on life as tourism student as I studied it from college up until university. There were a few languages too and I would definitely want you to ask questions or leave your comments, tips and recommendations etc. on unique places you've traveled to. So if you  just want to travel for the rest of their life and you see yourself travelling as...

Keep an eye out. && if you wanna keep up with LondonLove; follow my Twitter @LondonLovess   x  #ThrowbackThursday http://autograph-abp.co.uk/exhibitions/miss-black-and-beautiful Its so inspiring to see that there are many events and campaigns taking place around the world, at a time where there have been unjust killings of black people. These events are here to empower us #BlackLivesMatter and The Miss Black and Beautiful exhibition was one of the many successful  events I had attended this summer...  I love how I randomly came across this exhibition on Eventbrite. Taking place at the Autograph, ABP, Rivington Place, Shoreditch was a good idea to plan this exhibition as the area is surrounded by art and culture and has a distinct vibe about it. At a time where in todays soci...
