Packing for our summer staycation

It's summer time - hurray! School is out and I'm ready to dust the cobwebs off the suitcases and take a vacation with the girls. This year, we've opted for a staycation and a camping holiday in the UK. We are all super excited but as always we can't rely on the British weather so ...

Creating a Rosemood custom photo book -- documenting our summer travels

Not so long ago I spent an evening on a lagoon beach in Galicia. I was eating sardines straight from the tin with crusty pieces of bread. The last sunny rays of the day were warming my back as I was lazily watching my husband navigate his SUPboard in the shallow waters in front of me, ...

A short family visit to medieval Nuremberg

Today I am taking you to Nuremberg, for a quick family gateway that everyone will love! Or at least, I am taking you down memory lane (like for many, travel restrictions due to the pandemic have limited our ability to travel quite a bit this year). We have always enjoyed taking a road trip. There ...

An at-home travel guide for the family, to stimulate all the senses

Hello everyone, I am thrilled to contribute an at-home travel guide to one of my all-time favourite blog Babyccino today. Courtney, Esther and I go way back, when we were perhaps on baby #2. I stopped at #3! I am Vanessa Boz, French based in London, though I like to think of the world as my oyster. ...

TRAVEL

A quick trip to Rome -- some highlights and tips

I remember overhearing a conversation between two men at the post office when we first moved to Byron. One man was telling the other about an upcoming family holiday -- the first holiday for their family in seven years! I remember how casual the other guy's response was, 'when you live in paradise, you don't ...

Weekend Getaway: Raleigh, NC

We were thrilled when Addie Ladner, a longtime reader of this blog, got in touch offering to share tips on her adopted home city of Raleigh, NC. I've never been to North Carolina (though I did consider the journalism school at UNC when looking at universities!), so I was particularly interested to hear about its charming capital ...

KIDS

Swifty Scooters -- a fun and safe way to explore and travel

In my ever continuing search to find the ideal transport to cross Paris easily and quickly -- I have come to the conclusion that travelling independently, i.e. with wheels or by foot, is the best way to get from A to B. First and foremost it lets us enjoy the beautiful city we live in. ...

FOR MUMS

An electric bike -- my favourite mode of transport

A year and a half ago, we moved away from our little flat around the corner from our school, to a bigger flat a good 20 minutes walk from the school. None of us are morning people, so I knew I had to find a solution for getting young Vivi to school on time. A friend ...

SLEEP

Nobis Hotel Copenhagen – Scandinavian splendour with a view of Tivoli

The Nobis Hotel Copenhagen is a beautiful contradiction. It’s housed in a palatially grand former music academy building on the corner of one of the city's busiest boulevards, yet is unstuffy and somehow very quiet. It’s decorated in a contemporary fashion, in blacks, greenish-blues and greys, yet somehow it's warm and inviting. It’s a luxury hotel, that ...

The Changing of the Guard – A march at street level from Rosenborg Castle to Amalienborg Palace

One of the most 'hyggeligt' (cosy/charming) things about ambling through central Copenhagen at lunchtime, is that you're likely to encounter a group of Danish soldiers marching, upright and focused, right by you. Late morning, every day, they head from the Life Barracks at Rosenborg Castle, out of the gates on Gothersgade (at number 100), and ...

Travel Town in Griffith Park

Do you have a kid who is obsessed or fascinated with choo choo trains? Then its time to explore the trains at the Travel Town Museum with your little ones. The museum is located on a 9-acre site in Griffith Park and is open to the public every day of the year except Christmas Day. ...

TIPS

Take a Break

Finding respite in Copenhagen isn’t difficult, especially in the summer. This is a city that isn’t urban or high-rise, so it rarely feels overwhelming. It’s the capital of a culture that places great weight both on the natural world and its maritime roots, which means that in Copenhagen you’re never far from water or from ...

PARENTING TIPS

Breastfeeding on the go

Yes, hello, it's me, the woman who is often seen breastfeeding in public -- and often while on the go! And not just sometimes, but absolutely wherever and whenever the baby wants to be fed. I am not one to sit on a park bench completely covered up while I feed. Sometimes I use a ...

Butte de Chaumont

The Buttes de Chaumont, is possibly a bit off the beaten track from the normal tourist route of Paris but it is worth a trip up to the 19th arrondissement. It is lovely and one of the rare grassy spaces in Paris. It was built about 150 years ago on what used to be the ...

The family relocated from London for Christopher’s job as a journalist reporting on the Vatican and Rome. Isabel now runs The Little Grand Tour in London and Rome, a company introducing children to art with fun ...

EAT

Insa - a modern Korean BBQ restaurant in Brooklyn

Not infrequently, it occurs to me that my children are experiencing a far different childhood growing up in Brooklyn than I did, being raised in a small town in a rural state. One area this certainly holds true is with food and restaurants, and so far I've loved taking advantage of New York's rich culinary ...

SEE

The Rundetårn – Up and down, round and round

There are few sights in Copenhagen that so comprehensively combine pluses as the Rundetårn, which can claim all at once to be central, weather-proof, view-filled, unusual, simple and cheap. Meaning ‘The Round Tower’, it is a cylindrical structure topped by a circular, ornately balustraded lookout platform, atop which sits an astrological observatory. The Rundetårn holds ...

Passarito Mon Amour

If I am being perfectly honest, I probably visit Passarito, a Portuguese cave à vin in the 11th arrondissement, way too often. Full disclosure: it is almost a stone’s throw from my apartment. Putting the convenience aside, I have even better reasons for my frequent visits. As a serious design lover, I want to be ...
