Yup! We’re up in the Arctic Circle. I am writing this post looking right outside my window at a snow-clad mountain in one of the most beautiful places (and certainly the highest place) we’ve ever visit – Tromso in Norway.

Finding a £10 return flight from London to the South of France was a steal for me! Not only did it make me feel like I’d won some type of flight lottery, but it also gave me the option to spend the rest of my holiday budget on other things that mattered. Wine and cheese! … Continue Reading

Nowadays, it’s a totally vibrant place with so many amazing and best things to do in Ho Chi Minh City.  Still, to this day, … Continue Reading

Vietnam is an incredible country to explore, with so many beautiful spots, vibrant cities and friendly people all across the country. That being said, with so many of the best places in Vietnam to visit, it can be pretty tough in whittling it down to a few key spots.  To be honest, the fact that … Continue Reading

Dubai is a city that almost seems to have risen out of nowhere in a relatively short amount of time and now stands as a popular destination due to its huge mix of malls, architecture, immense skyscrapers and (perhaps lesser focused on) historical sites. There’s honestly a heap of the places to see in Dubai, … Continue Reading

When most people think of visiting Indonesia, they think of visiting the gorgeous places in Bali, to see its incredible temples and stunning waterfalls.
