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.
