A weekend in Genova, Italy – more than focaccia and pesto

FIRST POSTED: 22nd October 2012 | LAST UPDATED: 16th September 2015

I think it would be fair to say that Genova isn’t on Italy’s Top10 cities to visit, mostly because people know very little about it. You may or may not know that delicacies like focaccia or pesto are originally from the Liguria region – and totally worth a visit!

Wine Tasting in England

FIRST POSTED: 11th September 2012 | LAST UPDATED: 11th July 2019

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

FIRST POSTED: 2nd September 2012 | LAST UPDATED: 12th November 2020

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.

Airlines

My thoughts on airline loyalty programmes

FIRST POSTED: 23rd August 2012 | LAST UPDATED: 17th July 2015

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!

A nice British surprise and a national obsession – outdoor BBQs. Find how how I brought a bit of Portugal to the table.

So hard to leave San Diego, California

FIRST POSTED: 14th August 2012 | LAST UPDATED: 16th July 2015

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

FIRST POSTED: 13th August 2012 | LAST UPDATED: 18th July 2019

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.
