Travelling to different destinations, experiencing different cultures, different foods and a different way of life broadens my mind. It inspires my creativity and has given me a positive outlook on life. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where has been your favourite place to visit? <\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I studied Film and TV at university so visiting New York was a dream come true! I\u2019d always been mesmerised by the New York skyline watching films and it really is just as stunning in real life. To visit Fifth Avenue and see Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke perform in Breakfast at Tiffany\u2019s was one of the highlights (I got to meet her afterwards too.) Eating Italian food in Little Italy where they shot Goodfellas &amp; Once Upon a Time in America was great too! I love gangster films!<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I witnessed a terror scare in NY as the Boston Marathon bombers were heading to Central Park. It was scary witnessing the NYPD on alert in Times Square and surreal seeing all the news vans. I came to realise that this is everyday life in New York and to live there faces its own challenges.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is your favourite place in Italy? And why?\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I did mention Little Italy above&#8230;does that count?! I have only visited Italy once but I was absolutely blown away by the beauty of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelifeofasocialbutterfly.co.uk\/2018\/04\/puglia-exploring-pretty-italian-towns-ostuni-locorotondo-trulli-houses-of-alberobello.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Puglia<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> when I visited in March. I am a strong advocate for slow travel as I like to truly absorb the history and culture of a location rather than rushing around. Whilst many first timers to Italy tend to visit Rome and Venice, some of Italy\u2019s busier locations, I was pleased my first time was away from the hustle and bustle. Puglia gave me true insight into authentic Italy. I mean, they even have their own special pasta called <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelifeofasocialbutterfly.co.uk\/2018\/04\/a-taste-of-southern-italy-cuisine-food-heritage-typical-of-puglia.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018little ears\u2019<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in Puglia. I wish I\u2019d brought some back with me as I\u2019ve been unable to find it in my local supermarkets. The Italian countryside is breathtaking with thousands of olive trees producing the world\u2019s best olive oil (I know because I tasted it!) The working-farm <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelifeofasocialbutterfly.co.uk\/2018\/04\/a-taste-of-southern-italy-cuisine-food-heritage-typical-of-puglia.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">masserias<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> produce mozzarella and a whole host of delectable Italian cheeses and look like great places to stay too. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I had the pleasure of living la dolce vita at the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelifeofasocialbutterfly.co.uk\/2018\/03\/la-dolce-vita-an-italian-retreat-at-corte-dei-massapi-villa-in-puglia-italy.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Corte dei Massapi villa<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> just outside the white city of Ostuni. With a glass of red wine in my hand I marvelled at the countryside around me as I sat in the rooftop hot tub. I often imagine I\u2019m still there\u2026(if only).<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s your best tip for travellers and holiday-goers? <\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Broaden your mind by exploring some of the other cities in a location. We\u2019re all guilty of only visiting capital cities (I\u2019m just as guilty!) When I spoke to friends and family the only place they had visited in The Netherlands was Amsterdam and it hadn\u2019t occurred to them to visit other areas. Beach city The Hague is one of my favourite places in The Netherlands; it\u2019s young and trendy vibe with unique concept stores altered my perception of the city of justice that it\u2019s known for. This year I visited the rainbow city of Rotterdam, with its bright colours, modern architecture including Cube Houses, it is completely different to the more traditional cities. I soon learned this was due to the fact Rotterdam was completely destroyed during WW2 and the city was rebuilt to reflect the city reborn. It\u2019s The Netherlands with a modern twist! <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I regularly check out Skyscanner to find the cheapest flights to various destinations and sometimes I only put my dates in so I can be inspired to go somewhere new. Jack\u2019s Flight Club is also a great way to find good deals.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do you decide what to do when you go to a new destination? <\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since I began travel blogging, I\u2019ve soon realised I get itchy feet even before I\u2019ve left my current location. It sure has created an insatiable desire to travel. In the past twelve months, I\u2019ve visited Portugal, The Netherlands (three times), Spain, France, Czech Republic, Italy, Croatia, Greece as well as new places in the U.K. I tend to use Pinterest as a search engine to read blogs on a particular location to help me plan activities. Pinterest has been particularly useful for my upcoming trip to Iceland. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do you decide which place is next on the \u2018to go\u2019 list?<\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instagram has become a tool to regularly spur my next trip! I follow lots of other travel bloggers for inspiration and will often click to see more on their blogs. Matera in Italy is my current fave and my only regret was that I didn\u2019t get chance to see it when I went to Puglia. I\u2019ve seen that it\u2019s European Capital of Culture for 2019 so I want to visit even more!<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s your go-to dinner party anecdote about your travels? <\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where do I start, I\u2019ve been spat on by a camel in the Canary Islands, eaten snails in an intimate restaurant with everyone looking and almost lost my only bikini during a storm in Corfu! <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My earliest travel memory is a family holiday to Portugal, I was seven and had to sleep in a cot. I didn\u2019t sleep for the duration of the trip as I thought the sound of the fridge was mosquitoes buzzing around my head! <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During my villa stay in Puglia this year, I left for the airport to find the gate was locked and no one had a key for us to get the car out. In the end, we had a 90 minute drive to the airport, the equivalent of the time boarding gate was due to close. My first time driving abroad ending up being a sequence out of the Italian Job as I hurtled our small car at speed, flashing and beeping other drivers as I went, with my friend gripping her seat in terror! We ran to the boarding gate to find our plane was delayed and our hosts had offered us a complimentary night stay and flights the following morning\u2026 \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Which Bookings For You villa tempts you the most?<\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bookingsforyou.com\/holiday-rentals-italy\/puglia\/villa-butterfly\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Villa Papil<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/bookingsforyou.com\/italy\/puglia\/villa-papillon\/\">l<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bookingsforyou.com\/holiday-rentals-italy\/puglia\/villa-butterfly\/\">o<\/a><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bookingsforyou.com\/holiday-rentals-italy\/puglia\/villa-butterfly\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">n<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, of course!
