It's an exciting time to be in Northern Ireland. New restaurants, cafes, hotels and even theatre companies are opening up everyday, enriching the country for tourists and locals alike. Marble Productions is the latest addition to Northern Irish theatre, founded by Cathy Ievers and Ellen Colliers, two young women passionate...
Marrakech was on the travel bucketlist for a looong time. I just kept copping out though due to concerns about whether it's a "safe" country for women. In the end though, I'm so glad that I finally bit the bullet and spent a few days there. I had the absolute...
SPAIN; it isn't a new country for me. I visited the Costa del Sol region many times for family holidays. In fact, I pretty much ruled out Spain as a holiday destination because I'd already been so many times. It was only after watching The Trip to Spain (Rob Brydon...
In case the title didn't give it away, this post concerns a topic very close to my heart - NOODLES. The latest addition to the Ormeau Road's eclectic selection of eating establishments is Bia Rebel, Northern Ireland's first ramen noodle shop. I'll be honest, I'm not particularly refined in my...

On a chilly, November afternoon in the city, we decided to be a bit decadent and try out Belfast's new purveyor of French cuisine - Café Parisien. I've walked past many times since it opened its doors back in October, and been intrigued by the very classic, elegant décor...
