Excuse me while I kiss the sky😙
Ciao Crystal Springs, Mpumalanga
The Covid-19 pandemic has been an emotional ride for me, causing plenty of anxiety, stress and loss, but also tons of self-reflection. It’s only been recently that I can say that I feel a sense of comfort and hope as I learn to let go of the past and welcome the new. With a deep need to disconnect from being “online”, my family and I did a local holiday to the mountains.
Crystal Springs is a beautiful lodge nestled high in the mountains in Mpumalanga. Surrounded by mountains, forests and wildlife, it was the perfect backdrop to disconnect, reconnect and re-energise! Days were spent hiking, eating and having sundowners whilst watching nature take its course.
It was here that I realized that you can’t control everything in life and when you not only learn to go with the flow but to trust the flow, that you actually set yourself free. That life is easier, and the feeling of being happy is possible.
It’s important to take time out to be grateful for what you have, who you have in you life, how far you have come and continue to welcome the flow.
Three things to do in the mountains:
1. Hiking
2. Board games with the family
3. Long drives on the windy mountain roads with some good music
Ciao, Milan💚
We travel because we need to, because distance and difference are the secret tonic of creativity. When we get home, home is still the same. But something in our mind has been changed, and that changes everything. . . #ciaomilan #ciaovalencia #spain #valencia #oldtown #travel #wanderlust #gypsyheart #explore #skyline #views #leftmyheartthere #love #europe https://www.instagram.com/p/CB57i3NADKmtiDhyQcavmEB5g9xEcFZa-YWwM80/?igshid=1tpt4dw2h9ce8

Ciao Valencia,
The world needs love right now. The world needs positive stories. Stories that remind us about the beauty of the world. So this story is a throwback to my travels to Valencia and why I fell in love with this city.
Valencia is a perfect mix of old town vibes, modern architecture, a rich culture and history that is evident in every corner of the city. I love the simplicity of the city, the friendly locals, the old town architecture and the beautiful ocean and sea breeze.
It was a Sunday afternoon and after settling into our quaint hotel, we decided to head to the beach for some Sunday sundowners. It was a short bus ride to the beach, where we began walking in the direction of where we thought the beach bar was. As we walked, we came across a beautiful market. The market had an array of food stalls, hippy clothes and beach-style jewellery. We bought the most delicious wood oven pizza and chocolate crepes and sat on a bench sharing our food, feeling a slight drizzle of rain on our skins and the cool sea breeze (which was much needed from the day’s humidity). It was such a magical moment in time, a simple moment which I can reflect on and have all five senses stimulated again - the moment I fell in love with Valencia.
My top three places to visit whilst in Valencia:
- Marina Beach Club - definitely a place to visit if you are chasing ocean views and sunsets.
- Science Museum Park (the architecture of these modern buildings are a must).
- El Miguelete, Valencia’s famous bell tower with breath-taking city views.
Ciao, Milan💛

Ciao Rome
They say that you don’t go to Italy for niceness, you go for life…and this is so true. Rome is an enchanting city, where I discovered a romantic blend of culture, history, tantalizing food and a vibrant night life. Rome is the only city in the world, where one moment you are walking along a narrow pebble street and the next minute you are standing in front of the Trevi fountain. It is a city that combines the intimacy of a historical village with the modern world filled with renaissance palazzos, baroque fountains, amazing neighbourhood trattorias and pavement cafés.
There are countless moments I could describe when it comes to falling in love with Rome, but I’ll attempt to describe my absolute favourite one. It was a beautiful winter day, blue skies and the crisp icey air filled our lungs as we climbed the Spanish Steps. At the top of the steps we found a building with a beautiful restaurant and bar on the roof. We spent the afternoon sipping on cocktails and watching the sunset. The beautiful colours of the sunset cascading over Rome was picturesque and magical. There is something fashionable about Rome that really captures the heart.
My favourite things to do in Rome:
1. A stroll up the Spanish Steps.
2. A day at the Vatican City – the art and sculptures are mesmerizing.
3. A bar hopping experience to truly get the taste of the local night life.
4. Trevi fountain – because we all deserve to make a wish.
Ciao, Milan🧡
The one thing I know for sure is that feelings are rarely mutual, so when they are, drop everything, forget belongings and expectations, forget the games, the two days between texts, the hard to gets because this is it, this is what the entire world is after and you’ve stumbled upon it by chance, by accident––so take a deep breath, take a step forward, now run, collide like planets in the system of a dying sun, embrace each other with both arms and let all the rules, the opinions and common sense crash down around you. Because this is love kid, and it’s all yours. Believe me, you're in for one hell of a ride, after all––this is the one thing I know for sure. - Beau Taplin (at Madrid, Spain) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4jaJpVAlsu/?igshid=306bmwpkq4o4

Ciao Madrid
Spain has always been a bucket list destination and I finally got to have my Spanish affair...summer in Spain, where the days are long and the siestas are welcomed.
Madrid is a golden metropolis with an energy that is lively and relaxed. Filled with historic sights, strong traditions, the fierceness of flamenco, markets, plazas and an endless choice of bars and restaurants.
Madrid stole my heart on a beautiful summer day, as my friend and I strolled from the energetic Gran Vía to a park called Campo del Moro. This park has a myriad of hedges which form a maze. We took some time out on a bench under a tree, and for a moment, time stood still – the day of the week lost and the sounds of the city feint in the background. All that mattered, in that moment, was the balmy sun on my skin and the good conversations.
I absolutely loved the plazas or squares. Each plaza with its own unique charm, restaurants, gorgeous people strolling around and buildings with their own stories to tell.
My favourite places in Madrid:
1. Gran Vía – worth a visit for the shopping and bars.
2. Mercado de San Míguel – best margaritas served in a bag…oh and a variety of fresh local food stalls!
3. Retiro Park – a remarkable view of the golden city.
Ciao, Milan.

Ciao Mumbai
My love affair with Mumbai began in 2010, when I called this vibrant city home. Mumbai is a contradiction of glits, glamour and money mixed with poverty and hardship. No matter which end of the affordability spectrum you explore, everyone has a smile on their face, hope in their eyes and a story to tell.
It was a warm summer night when Mumbai captured my heart. As I strolled the tree-lined streets of Pali Hill, my senses came alive; the slight humid breeze caressed my skin, constant chatter from the late night shoppers, horns blaring, divine aromas filtering out of restaurants and chaat stalls. Amongst all of this colour, noise and aromas, I felt complete stillness, happiness and comfort from this city’s energy.
Mumbai is a city for shopoholics, party animals, food lovers and cultural enthusiasts. My top three places from my last visit to Mumbai are:
1. Linking road – a must for shopoholics. A street lined with branded stores and street side markets.
2. Flea Bazaar – a different concept of an indoor food market, filled with quint décor, house music and a great variety of food.
3. Taps – A roof top bar with a great selection of beers and cocktails that’s easy on the pocket too.
Ciao, Milan.
I am pieces of all the places I have been, and the people I have loved. I’ve been stitched together by song lyrics, book quotes, adventure, conversations, moonlight and the smell of tequila. I’ve fallen in love with cities all over the world. This blog is dedicated to my love affair of traveling to cities and exploring the world through culture, parties, yoga and fashion.
Ciao, Milan💜
