A weekend in Dublin, Ireland
Mrs. O goes back to Dublin and finds her spiritual home, drinks some whisky and feasted on amazing food. And even saw Lady Gaga sing. A perfect weekend indeed.

Wine Tasting in England
Wine Tasting in England? Seriously? It is true indeed. We decided to find out what is really going on with British winemaking. A nice surprise indeed. I am no wine expert – I am just a girl who likes drinking a bit of wine.

Some of my favourite places around the world
A friend of mine recently asked me this question over dinner, and I seriously couldn’t answer. Doing a top 3 list was impossible, so I settled for a list of my favourite top 10 places around the world. I cannot rank them, so here they are, in no particular order.

My thoughts on airline loyalty programmes
I have to be honest – I am the queen of points, as my friends call me. But I am a great believer in quality vs quantity in pretty much everything in life. As we speak I only hold 1 frequent flyer card and 1 frequent stayer card. More than enough for me!

So hard to leave San Diego, California
Our love affair with San Diego continued this summer, when we decided we just “had” to go back. There is something about this place – the very laid-back, yet elegant atmosphere, the southern California accent and the amazing food, of course.

Is cruising for me? My honest opinion
As you may know, I have been invited to go on a cruise recently, which was a bit of a surprise, as I always said that I would never go on one. Never, ever, ever. But I did. Did I like it? Will Mrs. O go cruising again? What did I really think about the experience? Here is my honest opinion.

Wine, sun and lux in Alentejo, Portugal
Alentejo is one of my favourite places in the world. It is not overdeveloped (on the contrary), it is quiet, hot, the food and wine are amazing, and the pace of life slow slow slow – perfect to wind down and start a week. Or stay there forever.
