I have started a new series for Thursdays on A Compass Rose called ‘Travel Throwback’. Every week I will dive through my travel photo archives and share with you a photograph. One of my most favourite places that I have been to was Cambodia. I have wanted to go there for so many years and was so excited when my parents surprised me with a trip there. Continue reading
Welcome to Travel Tuesday and our last one for January. Starting in February we will have a new #TravelTuesday co-host hear at A Compass Rose. I asked you if you wanted to be involved and I was greeted with a lovely response! Thank you to all the applicants who inspire me weekly with their posts on Travel, Expat Life, and Wanderlust. I have eight lovely bloggers to share with you today who are sharing what inspires them about travel. Let me know which ones inspire you with their words and thoughts on all things travel!
I took this self portrait on the roof of the Rondo Theatre in between scenes where I was not on stage during one of our matinee performances. I cannot express in words how much fun I had playing an 18th century princess in the Cinderella Panto and getting to dance around stage in pink and my hair piled high in curls. I honestly try to wear denim trousers as little as possible because of the fact that I love dressing up so much. Perhaps I was born in the wrong era.

Last week I was busy with dress rehearsals and our six performances of our Cinderella Panto with Bath Drama at the Rondo Theatre. While I basically grew up in the theatre and majored in it at Uni, it had been around ten years since I had been involved. This became my debut into the theatre community here in Bath, England.

We have nine more weeks of Winter and that has not stopped us from going on country walks around our area of Bath, England. However the shorts, sleeveless shirts, and trainers of our summer attire have had to be replaced by our winter wardrobe. When you are in England I always recommend double checking the weather right before you head out. Check the temperature, the wind, and if rain or snow might be a factor. Next, it is always good to plan your route before hand to give yourself a good time reference for how long you will be out. With your information gathered you can than gauge how to dress appropriately for your country walk. Remember just because you are going for a country walk, does not mean you have to dress frumpy. There are so many fashionable looks from Peter Hahn you can put together for your country walks from practical footwear to appropriate coats.
1. Relax with drinks at an ocean side cafe where you can enjoy the stunning views from Sorrento.
2. Catch some sun by lying out at the beach and cooling off in the teal blue waters.
3. Get married! Or watch one. Visit on a weekend and you are bound to run into quite a few on the same day.
4. Grocery Shopping. Why come to sorrento for just a few hours? Make it a proper holiday, find yourself the perfect place to stay in Sorrento, and indulge yourself on shopping for delicious produce and giant sized lemons.
5. Buy Presents for your loved ones back home. From beautiful inlaid wood music boxes to limoncello, you are sure to find the perfect gift for you special someone.
6. Indulge your Senses. Why let your eyes have all the fun when there are so many amazing things to taste and smell. Visit a local shop where you can try out different coffee varieties and candies inspired by the infamous limoncello.
7. Rent a scooter. Pretend to be Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck in Roman Holiday for your Sorrento Holiday and take a personal tour around Sorrento by moped.
8. Have gelato more than once. There are so many flavors and different gelaterias will have different variations so make up any excuse to pop in for a scoop (or two!) of this amazing sweet italian delicacy.
9. Meet up for a meal with friends and try out one of the places where the locals go to eat. Some of the best food and wine I have had has been at the hole in the wall places that were suggested to me by my friends in the area. Just take it from these cats who have found their favourite place
10. Go exploring and do not be afraid to get lost.
11. Have dinner by the ocean so you can watch and enjoy the sunset.
12. Experience the sights and sounds of a Sorrento night life.
Which one would you most look forward to
doing while on your next trip to Sorrento?
