The Hideaway, Bali

Hideout Bali

Ummm wow!!

It probably won't surprise you to know I am a bit partial to searching airbnb and finding cool places to stay. My latest search obsession is Bali, and my recent dreamy find is The Hideaway in Selat, Bali.

The eco bamboo home is hidden in the mountains of Gunung Agung volcano and is the perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of modern life... there isn't even a lockable door!!

The home was built and handcrafted in 2015 by Alena, originally from The Czech republic and was built with the support of many local workers, the bamboo coming from a local village.

Riad el Fenn

Looking for some summer sun? Me too, Britain is no longer covered in snow (hurrah) but now it has started to rain again(boo), so i am starting to plan a summer away in Morocco, home of dreamy furnishings. Here are some to die for rooms from the lovely Riad el Fenn, being a horder myself I can never imagine having such minimal rooms, but wow what colour. Maybe less is more?

p.s. 3 blogs in one day may be a bit obsessive, but I have an essay due so what better way to procrastinate?

Rajasthani Puppets

Images from google

Freshly back from China I have began planning my next  big holiday already. Dream destination Rajisthan in India, home to so many talented craft men.

I am in love with these beautiful Rajasthani puppets, not simply used for decoration, the puppets are part of a traditional performance narrating an event from history, myths, folklore or legend, representing the traditional wisdom, knowledge and social mores of the region.

They are available to buy online at shops such as the wonderful Jupiter and Suns but as tempting it is to get my hands on these now and although it is so much nicer (and expensive) to get them  abroad.

A perfect gettaway

I am coming to the end of my first year of my nursing training, and it has been one hell of a rollercoaster. I am due to go to china in a month for a nice old break. Although i am looking forward to it, at the moment the idea of being in a city surrounded by millions of people is the last thing i want. To be at one of these places with some bottles of wine, a few good friends and my sister watching the sunset would be perfect.
