About Me

Hi! I’m Michelle, I’m a Kiwi girl born and bred, living in Nottingham, England with my husband and travel buddy. We both have a passion for History and travel and we often choose our destinations based on the history of the area. I started this blog to connect with fellow travelers, document my own travels and pass on my own tips and tricks that I’ve picked up along the way.

Finally things are starting to reopen here in the UK! We decided to make the use of our National Trust membership over the weekend and visit a couple of places. One of which was Calke Abbey - the 'Un-Stately Home'. Left in the state of disrepair that it was taken over in to show how many of these homes ended up
