6 Things That Are Just Better in America

Published: 18th August 2015 by Laurence Norah - 5 Comments

Blog

I’m just wrapping up my time here in America, and I wanted to finish it off with a post about some of the things I’ve noticed here that are, well, just generally better than in other places. Sure, America has that wacky obsession with gun ownership, and a love of policing the world, and you […]

Things to Do in Kensington, London: A Local’s Complete Guide

Published: 30th July 2015 by Laurence Norah - 7 Comments

Blog

Kensington and South Kensington make up one of the best neighbourhoods in London for a day out, and I say that as someone who lived in the capital for years and keeps coming back for more. Within a short walk you’ve got three of London’s finest museums (all free), a royal palace, one of the […]

Two Weeks in Sri Lanka: A Complete 2026 Itinerary From Someone Who Keeps Going Back

Published: 24th June 2015 by Laurence Norah - 17 Comments

Blog

I have visited Sri Lanka multiple times over the years, starting with a short trip that left me convinced I needed to come back for longer, and then doing exactly that on several occasions since. It is one of those places that is easy to underestimate from the outside, being a relatively small island off […]

How to Spend a Weekend in Cambria, California

Published: 17th June 2015 by Laurence Norah - 18 Comments

Blog

During our time living in California, we spent a lot of weekends exploring the coastal communities between San Francisco and Los Angeles. One of our favourites was Cambria, a small town on the Central Coast that we came back to more than once. Cambria sits roughly halfway between San Francisco and LA, around three to […]

The Best Photography Spots In Yosemite

Published: 14th June 2015 by Laurence Norah - 8 Comments

Blog

Yosemite is a landscape photographer’s dream. It was here that Ansel Adams took so many of his iconic images, and where countless photographers since then have come to try and capture a little of the wonder of this place. It’s no surprise therefore that when I was based in California that it was very high […]

This part of California is excellent for lovers of the outdoors and landscape photographers like me, offering mountains, lakes, potentially live volcanoes and of course, hiking and photo opportunities […]

Published: 19th May 2015 by Laurence Norah - Leave a Comment

Blog

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of LG. The opinions and text are all mine. Ah, smartphones. I remember my first one, almost a decade ago (!) –  a venerable device with an actual keyboard, with which I could access the internet using a technology called WAP. At least, I think […]
