Day two in Vancouver! Technically, itās day 3 but jet lag got the best of the very first day so Day 2 it is. Like I said, before, breakfast at the Shangri La Hotel in Vancouver is something of an event. Itās not something you rush ā thereās no buffet ā everything is made to … Continue Reading
Austria is an incredible country to explore (and one I wished I’d travelled around much sooner). That being said, it’s never too late to find an exciting and new country to explore. Now, we had visited Austria to go Skiing in Zell am See (which was amazing). The only thing is – I didn’t feel … Continue Reading

Iām going to come right out and say it; Iām a sucker for a great hotel. No matter how amazing that view of the Eiffel Tower, Edinburgh Castle or The Northern Lights is, going back to a dark, a dingy or uncomfortable hotel can just put such a huge dampener on a trip. It has … Continue Reading

Long before we started blogging, while working aĀ full-time job (or studying full time – depending on the year), we travelled almost as often as we currently do! It started like it does for most people – you book your first trip somewhere, have an amazing time and as soon as you get back home, start … Continue Reading
There are so many of the best things to do in Iceland during your trip. I mean, it’s a country that’s so gorgeous and so incredibly beautiful that you’re going to be spoilt for choice.

This is something of an impromptu post to share some of the amazing and best restaurants in Vienna. All according to locals and reader recommendations.

When we arrived at Pashupatinath Temple, I donāt think I realised how big it actually was. You arrive at this seemingly unassuming date, walk through a fairly quiet walkway and before you know it, youāre in the heart of one of Nepalās most sacred sites. Like Boudhanath before, Pashupatinath Temple is also a UNESCO World … Continue Reading

On our final day in Nepal, we were kind of operating in panic mode. Weād spent so much time seeing so many different parts of Nepal that weād left almost no time whatsoever to explore the capital city of Kathmandu. We had planned to do so the day before but were distracted by the historic … Continue Reading
Autumn in London tends to be one of the quieter times of the year. Youāre never quite sure what to wear ā it starts to get a tad too cold to dine al fresco and the high of the summerās events definitely start to wear off. Funnily enough, Autumn is also one of the prettiest … Continue Reading
Thoughts of Italy conjures up images of beautiful rolling hills, basking in that famous Italian sunshine, stunning cities, ancient churches and colourful picturesque houses all stacked on a hill overlooking the sea.

I’d heard some amazing things about the castle of Methoni (from our previous day in Costa Navarino), which was built by the Venetians over 800 years ago. The history of Greece still surprises me so much, it always seems so mystical and ancient… which is pretty obvious when I come to think of it! š¤£ … Continue Reading
