Park Güell
Beautiful location, mosaic-tiled buildings. Can get busy and it's an upward walk to the location - if you don't take a taxi/Uber - definitely worth the trip.
Hotel La Hacienda
It is a great family focused holiday resort in a residential area of Spain, around 60 mins by car/ bus from Barcelona airport and a short walk from a lovely, long, clean beach. Decent resort, nice pool, slides on site…
AURA | Brunch & Lunch
Had a great brunch here. Staff were welcoming and super helpful when making suggestions from the menu. The acai bowl is popular for all the right reasons, and I'd go back to this spot!
Terraza Malabar
Great views here. Tend to have social salsa dancing on a Sunday afternoon/evening - mix of salsa and bachata. Set up for groups/families on tables, but you can also go solo.
Mercat Central de València
A busy fresh food market, a lot going on but some interesting option. Definitely get paella whilst you're here.
Mercabañal Club
A multitude of food stalls serving a range of cuisine, great trip when en route to the beach
France
Glaces Glazed
More sorbet. Never enough sorbet. I am sorbet. Glaces Glazed do exceptional artisan ice creams and sorbets, some of them even contain a little booze if you’re into that. I tried the mojito which was like having a…
Babylone Bis
One of my all time favourite spots in Paris, I have to visit each and every time I’m in the city. Although popular with celebrities Babylone Bis is no frills, super chilled and open until 4am in the morning. I’ve tried…
Sucre Glace
I live for sorbet. Sucre Glace was the perfect “little something sweet” needed after a lacklustre lunch experience. Kiwi, white peach and pineapple sorbet are not flavours I come across easily in London and they all…
Ten Belles
We stumbled across Ten Belles during a relaxed morning walk across the city. I opted for an iced latte with oat milk & the Pain Suisse - flaky croissant pastry nearly dripping with butter, rich chocolate and vanilla…
Atelier Galimard
If you like scents and want to make your own fragrance that you can take home, this is a great experience for you. Make a one-of-one scent, and get the option of purchasing your unique fragrance again in the future on…
Brazil
Museu Afro Brasil
Incredibly stunning museum. Some amazing exhibitions, might even say the best I experienced in the city on Afro-culture. When you've finished take a stroll or walk around Ibirapuera park.
Maracanã Stadium
Definitely one of the best, if not THE best, live football experiences I've ever had. The atmosphere, music, vibes were incredible. Let alone the entertaining football match. Brazilians have this warmth and inate…
Ipanema Beach
Great views and great vibes at Ipanema beach. Worthwhile visit when you're in the city. Definitely solo and family friendly.
Pequena África
Worthwhile heading to this place - not too far from Pedro da Sal - on a guided tour, so you can get the full historical context of this cultural landmark. Extremely busy on a Monday night.
United Kingdom
Al-Kahf Restaurant
Great East-African restaurant. Can get busy in the evening, which makes sense as the portions are good and the sharable plates are a great recommendation, if you'd like a mix of lamb, chicken and more. Price is…
Highness Cafe
Happened to be in the area for work, and stopped by for lunch. Service was great, the people there were friendly and I ordered the Istanbul toastie (beef) which was filling!
Fuwa Fuwa Cafe
Incredibly flavoursome, light and airy Japanese-inspired souffle pancakes that you must try while you're in Soho. The Blueberry and Yuzu Cheesecake flavour is one you have to try.
Netherlands
Portugalia Churrasco & Co
Top tier Portuguese-inspired food here. Definitely recommend the octopus or ask the waiter's to make a suggestion. Depending on your budget, can be quite expensive in comparison to other options, but worth trying out!
Mr NonNo Center
Good and quick service, with a range of sweet options to choose from. Nice for a solo meal or with friends. Really nice interior decor too. Would recommend.
Portugal
Passeio das Virtudes
Amazing scenic point view. Definitely the place to be during sunset. Can get a bit busy, but not too crowded - you'll find a spot. There's bars and restaurants situated locally as well
Jardins do Palácio de Cristal
Beautiful views of Porto. Calming and perfect place to disconnect during the day
United States
Carabalí Rainforest Park
Good location for horseback riding. You can book the experience through GetYourGuide. Take a taxi to the location and arrive at least 45-mins in advance to make sure you don't miss your slot. The guide will take you…
La Cabaña Rodriguez Restaurant
This is MY SPOT! If you want delicious, well-seasoned, cheap, authentic Dominican food, you must come here! However, you must adjust your expectations when it comes to typical service. For example, there is always a…

Indonesia
Candylicious
Big pick-and-mix sweet shop in Seminyak Village. Fun if you plan to go with kids. (via Daily Nibbles’ Bali vlog)
Italy
St. Mark's Square
St. Mark’s Square is the largest and most iconic piazza in the city. It’s a must-see for any trips to Venice. Many of the most important buildings in Venice are located around this piazza. Look out for all the pigeons!…
Kenya
CJ's Restaurant
At CJ’s, we were pleasantly surprised. Impressed to say the least. The decor was 10/10. Ambience was 10/10. Price was 9/10. Food was 8/10. Overall the place was fantastic! Our full meal came with a hot drink and a cold…
Nigeria
Ziba Beach Resort
Beachfront resort outside Lagos with a pool, beach club, cinema and game room, and noticeably cooler by the water. The beach and pool are lovely and the poolside snacks were fine, but my room had a lot of bugs, wasn't…

Zamenhof
Great vibrant spot in the Friday or Saturday evening. Range of food options and bars for drinks. Definitely a good spot to head to with friends.

Dubai Safari Park
Huge wildlife park, about three times bigger than the Houston Zoo. The most basic ticket covered almost every animal, including a 10-minute ride through the Arabian Desert Safari and walks through the Asian and African…
