Life as a travel blogger is hard work. Okay, it’s not as hard as a lot of other jobs, but it is not as easy as you might think. Yes, we get to have really cool experiences because of our blogger status, like our lunch with a wine maker in the Bologna Hills, or going […]

The VIP Treatment at the Palace Downtown Dubai continued, and I welcomed it with open arms, with a luxury treatment at the Palace Downtown Dubai Spa. We were not told which spa treatment we would receive, just that it was an hour long and sure to be luxurious. We treat ourselves to massages on a […]
