My Illuminating Birthday with Lumiere London

February 3, 2016

Seeing London in a whole new light. For my birthday this year I wanted to do something: different fun and that involved minimal organisation on my part Lumiere London was a perfect answer to all of those things and it was FREE!  It was a light festival held over four days that saw iconic architecture … More My Illuminating Birthday with Lumiere London

View from on top of Thorpe Cloud in the Peak District 😍 courtesy of my super hiker friend @jnr_moi who said I had to get to the top to see the views! . If you saw my IG stories over the weekend you would have seen the struggle of me getting to the top but I was determined to do it and for these views it was worth it. Whoever tells you the UK is not beautiful is a liar!!! . . . . . . . . . . . . #travelonyourdoorstep #peakdistrict #dovedale #thorpecloud #the5to9traveller #hikergirl #madeit #countryside #uktravels #thisisengland #thisprettyengland #derbyshire #womenwhohike #visitbritain #topukphoto #hiddenigers #dayhike #nationaltrust #greatbritain🇬🇧 #beautifullandscapes #mountainviews #walkinginbritain
Missing the colourful streets of Lisbon! There are so many cities around the world full of so much colour but I had not anticipated Lisbon would be one such place! . Are there any other colourful cities that I should go visit? . . . . . . . . . . . #fbfriday #colourlust #the5to9traveller #architecture #streetsoflisbon #colourpop #lisboa🇵🇹 #portugal_gems #pombalinearchitecture #igerslisbon #eurotravel #prettylittletrips #theprettycities #travelnoire #momentsofmylife #architecture_greatshots #lisbonarchitecture #travelwhenyoucan #seegoexplore
Lisbon’s street art scene (amongst all the annoying graffiti name tagging one spray paint job, which is not street art) is buzzing. . I had first spotted @b0rdalo_ii on Instagram not knowing he was Portuguese but being amazed at his work. So unique is his work that as soon as I saw this I knew it was his handiwork. He uses trash and recycled bits n bobs such as traffic cones, fans and bins to create his masterpieces. I spotted 5 pieces of his work in and around the city. Each one just as magnificent as the last. . He has an exhibition up in Aberdeen in April @nuartaberdeen check it out! . . . . . . . . . . . #streetartspotter #the5to9traveller #b0rdalo_ii #artsagram #lisbonart #igerslisboa #trashart #portugal🇵🇹 #urbanart #streetartist #streetartoftheday #streetartofficial #lisbonportugal #gltlove #girlsthatwander #momentsofmine #cornersofmyworld #capturingart #artstreet #bordaloii
They call Lisbon the ‘City of Seven Hills’ & you can see why when you look out from one of the many hilltop ‘miradouros’ (terraces). . I took this photo from Miradouro da Senhora do Monte which offers gorgeous panoramic views of the city including Castillo San Jorge (swipe right). Thanks to @andremateus12 for taking us up here! It was a fun tuk tuk ride to catch these views! . . . . . . . . . . #the5to9traveller #adventureismysidehustle #miradouro #igerslisboa #lisbonportugal #igersportugal #panoramic #cityscape #skyline #eveningskies #castillosanjorge #iamtraveler #eurotrip #citylights #lisbonatnight #graça #capturingmoments #mytinyatlas #traveldiaries #travelnoire #cornersofmyworld #senhoradomonte #hardlyhome
Happy Easter from Sintra! . Rather befittingly we hiked up to see the Cruz Alta (High Cross) located in the Sintra Hills which was 528m above sea level in the parks of the Palace of Pena. . Sintra is a beautiful town 30 mins from Lisbon that is full of beautiful palaces. . . . . . . . . . . . Enjoy the holidays! . #crossequalslove #eastersunday #cruzalta #sintra #the5to9traveller #sintraportugal #hikergirl #igersportugal #blackgirlshiketoo #girlgoneglobal #melaninmagic #travelnoire #blacktravelfeed #easterfun #highestpoint #igerslisboa #igersportugal #girlsthatwander
Oh Lisbon how your streets delight! 😍 . My first adventure abroad for 2018 and #Lisboa is delivering these colourful streets. You know my love of colour in the world. I sent this pic to my mum (she likes to know that I’m alive on my trips) and she said this was her favourite one of me. Off for more exploring today. Anyone got any suggestions of where else to visit in Lisbon? . . . . . . . . . . #adventureismysidehustle #colourislife #the5to9traveller #lovelisbon #lisboa🇵🇹 #lisbonportugal #portugal🇵🇹 #travelnoire #igersLx #girlstrip #hardlyhome #melaninmagic #yellowhouse #collectingmoments #eurotrips #girlmeetsglobe #adventuregram #colourfulstreets #streetsoflisbon #cornersofmyworld #prettylittletrips #travelersnotebook #iamtraveler
