I’ll fess up now: the thought of going to Vegas filled me with a little bit of dread. What if I got drunk and got married by Elvis? What if I got even more drunk and got married to Elvis? What if I got drunk, married Elvis, then woke up in bed with a naked tiger? I mean, that’s what happens in Vegas, right? Well, yes and no.

Karaoke, go karts and barbecued spleen on stick… yes it’s your next long-haul city break. Granted, Tokyo can be chaotic and overwhelming, but it’s also one flipping cool. I’ve rounded up the best bits, to ease you into a few days of eating, drinking and SINGING. Sing. Those. (Springsteen.) Songs.

I have burgered! I have blogged! For the last two weeks I’ve been sunning it in Puerto Rico. Why? Because I’m not sure about Christmas. Now that Santa’s not bringing me toys Xmas just makes me feel claustrophobic. It makes me feel lethargic. It makes me feel like I don’t know what day it is,…

I’ve been emailing people loads of tips about where to eat in New York, and then I realised I really should just stick them up on the old blog. Along with this list, I’d also check out this feature I wrote for the Guardian’s travel section where I use Instagram to make food-based decisions in the…

As far as boardwalks go, this is a pretty good one. In fact, in my experience of boardwalks, I’d say it’s the best. This is the boardwalk in Asbury Park, New Jersey. Bruce Springsteen describes it as his “adopted hometown”, the town that has inspired lyric after lyric – songs laced with stories of the…

Some of you may have seen from my incessant and irritating Instagram pictures that I was in New York in December. I spent a few days eating my way around the city, before a little pilgrimage to Asbury Park for religious purposes (more on that soon). Beers and cocktails featured heavily in the trip, so…

I am a strong-willed woman with a kind face. I’m not just bigging myself up, this is what Eirini told me when I was staying with her in Kos, Greece, last summer. Eirini likes reading about star signs, and she said that I display the typical characteristics of an Aquarius (this is my star sign,…

I realised something in Lisbon. I am a nightmare to travel with. Not because I’m dozy, or lazy, or tight, or uninterested. But because I like food. Hell, I love food. I love it so much that when I go away I create endless lists of places I want to eat and drink, and then I start doing…
