ABOUT ME

I'm Ellie, I live in London and while working in finance maximised my holiday allowance to indulge my wanderlust. My friends come to me for my travel pearls of wisdom to find out everything about where to stay, where to eat and where to wander. Now I'm sharing that with you too. I'm passionate about delicious food and wine and love finding the best spots to soak up the atmosphere of an exciting new destination.

🍷Wine Walks🍷 If like me you’re doing a lot 🍷Wine Walks🍷 If like me you’re doing a lot of walking during lockdown I highly recommend combining with wine whenever possible 😆 I wrote a couple of posts about walks via vineyards including this walk via The Mount Vineyard in Kent. If you’re local they are still open for takeaway sales. Please walk and wine responsibly! #linkinbio👆
