Do you know where you can find this fairytale location? 🧚‍♀️ Often referred to as “the prettiest village in England”, Castle Combe is set amongst the rolling hills of the Cotswolds in southwest England and is the epitome of English countryside beauty 🏰 If you’re planning on visiting Castle Combe you really don’t need long here as it’s really very tiny. There’s just a couple of streets and not a whole lot to see or do outside of admiring the architecture, but it’s still well worth a visit! I’d recommend pairing your trip to Castle Combe with a visit to the nearby village of Lacock where Harry Potter was filmed and the city of Bath for some lovely Jane Austen vibes 👒

AND this is only a small part of it: there are slides, trampolines, a hedge maze, butterfly garden, theatre… you name it 🥹 Welcome to Changi airport, Singapore! 🌱 also I don’t know if this is weird but I’ve wanted to visit this airport for literally years… I was so excited and felt like I was meeting a celebrity lol 🇸🇬

And here’s a mini guide to the capital of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, just for you ❤️

🗺️ Things to do:
Vertigo Skybar – The best rooftop bar in KL, with panoramic views. Book a table in advance!
Canopy Walk – A peaceful stroll above the trees in KL Forest Eco Park, right in the heart of the city
Food tour – Book with A Chef’s Tour for an unforgettable deep dive into KL’s street food scene
Masjid Wilayah Persekutuan – A stunning mosque with free guided tours that are so worth it
RexKL – A reimagined cinema that now houses shops, food stalls, events, and one of KL’s best bookstores
Thean Hou Temple – A vibrant six-tiered Chinese temple with sweeping views over the city
KLCC Park – Relax in this green space with fountains, walking trails and Petronas Tower views
Batu Caves – Famous Hindu temple in a limestone cave, guarded by a towering golden statue
Chinatown – Wander murals, temples and backstreets full of history (don’t miss Kwai Chai Hong & Lorong Panggung)

🍽️ Places to eat:
Jalan Alor Market, Chow Kit Market, Merchants Lane Cafe, Old China Cafe, Jamboo Matcha, K Fry, Okonomi, Nasi Lemak Wanjo

🛍️ Malls to visit:
The Exchange TRX, Pavilion, Suria KLCC

🏨 Where to stay:
Bukit Bintang is one of the best areas to base yourself – central, walkable and full of life. We stayed at The Robertson which had fantastic views, a pool and great facilities – perfect for a few days in the city.

🚇 How to get around:
Public transport is reliable and air-conditioned (look for the MRT, LRT and monorail), but Grab is also super affordable and convenient for getting door-to-door, especially when it’s hot or raining!

Do you agree? 🤭 5 bucket list bookshops to add to your travel plans (and one that I personally don’t recommend but is still very pretty lol) which one is your favourite? 📚 🇬🇧 The Minster Gate Bookshop, York - a charming literary haven nestled near the iconic York Minster housing an extensive stock of antiquarian and second-hand books in over five floors of a Georgian town-house 🇷🇴 Carturesti Carusel , Bucharest - a book lover’s dream, a stunning bookshop housed in a beautifully restored 19th-century building. 🇮🇹 Libreria Acqua Alta, Venice - a unique and enchanting bookstore, where books are stacked in gondolas and bathtubs to protect them from the city’s famous high tides, creating a truly one-of-a-kind experience for literary explorers. 🇬🇧 Topping & Co, Bath - a delightful independent bookshop that offers not just books, but also a warm and inviting atmosphere, making it the perfect place for book enthusiasts to discover new reads and enjoy literary events. 🇦🇷 El Ateneo Grand Splendid, Buenos Aires - a breathtaking bookshop set in a former theatre, renowned for its stunning architecture and grandiose design, offering a magical setting for book lovers to explore a vast collection of literature. 🇵🇹 Livraria Lello, Porto - While this bookshop is stunning it’s SO overcrowded and you need to pay €8 to enter and book your tickets in advance which I think really isn’t worth it as you can’t actually enjoy the shop, the €8 can be redeemed on a book of your choosing which I was excited for but the offering around that price point was very very limited
