One place I really wanted to visit once we arrived in Jasper was to visit and go hiking Maligne Canyon! Thing is, even up to a few days before we left London for Alberta, I’d never even heard of Maligne and its famous canyon. Once I heard about it though, I knew I had to … Continue Reading
Free travel is amazing, right? Most of us love to travel for free, to see the world and to explore new cultures and if you’re anything like me, you’ll always be on the lookout for the next place to experience. You’ll no doubt have seen all those fluffy magazine articles that say “This girl travels … Continue Reading
Leaving the Metterra hotel, as we hurried through breakfast, eager to hit the road early, I remembered something we’d missed out on the entire time we stayed there – Happy hour. And no, not the kind of happy hour where the drinks are half-price – it’s the kind where the drinks are free! I suddenly … Continue Reading
Now although we flew into Puno from Cusco to see Lake Titicaca, we’d been told the train journey from Puno back to Cusco was one of the prettiest, not just in the country but in the world. *Sidebar – we actually flew into Juliaca and then took a long taxi ride to Puno. It’s a … Continue Reading
I’ve got a real soft spot for Singapore, not just because it was ‘home’ for six months but because it’s a much more diverse, culturally rich and cooler city than most people think. Of course, you’ve got the glitzy marina, the amazing glossy buildings but there is so much more to Singapore, with unique experiences … Continue Reading
We all deserve a cheeky getaway, right? whether that is for a little escapism, a special treat or just an excuse to hop over to the cheapest places to visit in Europe. That being said, price and how much things cost can actually have a big impact on your time away. Thankfully, travelling across Europe … Continue Reading
Regardless of where you’re from in the world, Bali is one of those places that just conjures up images of tropical paradise. Bali a pretty popular destination and anyone who’s familiar with this Indonesian island will be quick to point out that there’s no way you can see all of the sights in a short … Continue Reading
The next day in Edmonton was a truly lazy one and one that comes off the back of a night out in the city. It started with a late breakfast at the hotel (random aside – the Metterra Hotel also has happy hour, before a leisurely stroll through the farmers market in Old Strathcona (partly … Continue Reading
The next morning, after a rather hurried breakfast (I got the timings wrong and we just missed breakfast – thankfully the kind folk at the Metterra Hotel rustled something up for us from the kitchen), we headed off to Downton Edmonton to try our hands at something new – segwaying. I tend to be more … Continue Reading
The next morning at Kuramathi began as all good mornings in the Maldives should – with lots of sunshine and a mountain of breakfast! Shortly after, we hopped aboard what I guess is the lazy man’s way to snorkel – a sub-submarine. (There’s no way I could have snorkelled right after eating the amount of … Continue Reading
Thoroughly impressed by the Ice Castles of Edmonton, we made our way back to town grab some well-earned lunch at an old school Mexican restaurant called Rostizado. (Edmontonians love Mexican food as it turns out). Rostizado is designed to feel more like dining at a friend’s place, than at a restaurant (right down to the … Continue Reading
Cape Town was one of the biggest travel surprises for me. It’s a place I only added to our travel itinerary because the three of us (Lloyd, Georgia and I) we wanted to do and see something in South Africa, in addition to going on safari (which was the main reason why we were in South … Continue Reading
Banksy has finally done it… he has created The Walled Off Hotel! Famed for his political pieces and his very own theme park called “Dismaland”, he’s conceived this place for us all to see. And, not surprisingly, it’s perched right next to the controversial wall that separates Israel from Palestinian territories. The Walled Off Hotel … Continue Reading
In retrospect, we really should have visited Edmonton a lot sooner. Lloyd has a friend who lives in the city and my cousin (like the ones you spend your childhood rolling in the mud with – not the kind you’re surprised to find out is actually your cousin), lives in Edmonton. Yet for some reason, … Continue Reading
