I’d been looking forward to this little getaway for a while now. I had pestered my husband by sending him various Airbnb links for a few weeks, until he agreed to going away for a weekend to the Mornington Peninsula…
DARLING TRAVELS: PORT DOUGLAS
When planning our first family holiday, a lot of things were taken into consideration. Travelling with a baby is far less easy/glam/whimsical as Instagram would have you believe. In deciding the location of our trip, we weighed up a few options both domestic and international before landing on Port Douglas, in far north Queensland. It ticked all of our boxes, and those boxes were…
DARLING TRAVELS: HO CHI MINH + CON DAO
From Hoi An we landed in Ho Chi Minh city, once of Vietnam’s most energetic (read: hectic) cities. HCMC has a certain vibe – in short, it’s fast paced, and chaotic. The streets are never not intense, and crossing the road feels like a life risk – the traffic is notorious…
DARLING TRAVELS: HANOI + HOI AN
Our next adventure saw us travel to Vietnam. My husband had lived in Vietnam for a year after high school and had always talked about taking me there. I was already a big fan of bahn mi’s, so was a very willing participant in this holiday, though I didn’t expect to also become a big fan of the busy streets, the stunning beaches, the iced coffees and the lovely, warm people – who were, in our experience, so eager to accommodate and make our time in their country so wonderful…
DARLING TRAVELS: HELLO LONDON!
London was our final stop on our European adventure, and having both been there before my husband and I were fairly clear about what we wanted to do in The Old Smoke. We’d done the touristy places on previous visits, so that left us with a few days at the end of our trip to wander the streets, take our time, and eat everything in sight, the perfect farewell to our holiday.
DARLING TRAVELS: POSITANO
Oh, Positano. Where do I even begin?
Positano in Summer is pretty much what dreams are made of. Great food. Stunning views. And the most beautiful water you’ll ever see. The Amalfi Coast is just incredible, do yourself a favour and plan a holiday there immediately.
Romantic, relaxing, delicious and dreamy. This is how I’ll remember Positano…
DARLING TRAVELS: ROME
Dear Rome, I love you. Love Erin…
DARLING TRAVELS: SAN FRANCISCO
Oh San Fran. With your beautiful houses, big hills, killer restaurants, lovely bridges, & delicious donuts. Our last stop before we drove down the Californian coast back to LA, I’ve always heard glowing reports on San Francisco, and I can tell you now that it did not disappoint…
