Despite heading to bed fairly late on my first night in the Maldives, the jet lag got the better of me and fight it as I tried, I just couldn’t go back to sleep and so I decided to head out on my bicycle to watch the sunrise. I literally jumped out of bed, in my PJs, … Continue Reading
I arrived in Antigua at around 5.30pm and after a couple of hours of getting through immigrations, customs and weaving through the island in a taxi, I finally arrived at what I would be calling home for the next week – St James Club. By the time I got in, it was too dark to take … Continue Reading
Halloween is definitely one of the most fun evenings for kids and adults alike. For us adults, not only do you get to play dress up and wear things that would probably be unacceptable on any other day of the year, you also get to indulge in as much sugar-laden goodies as you can handle … Continue Reading
Devon is one of those quintessential places in England that is a constant reminder of why it’s important to venture out of London (or other equally popular English cities) and venture out to see more. The trains are pretty good across the UK as a whole – yes, I know services can be delayed from … Continue Reading
The Scottish Highlands are one of the more remote places in, not just Scotland, but across the UK. It’s totally idyllic and a proper breathtaking place to spend some time exploring. It’s the kind of region where you can see some of the best castles, head on some incredible hikes and also pop over to … Continue Reading
We arrived into Generalife absolutely panting after running all the way from the Alhambra. With our flights to catch in a few hours and palace entry closing in less than an hour, speed was of the essence. Thankfully, Generalife is so much smaller than the Alhambra and so after a short walk through the elaborate … Continue Reading
One of the best parts about any trip to Portugal is definitely visiting one of its many amazing beaches. After all, there’s a huge amount of the best beaches in Portugal dotted all over the country. Even from the capital city of Lisbon, you’re not more than a stone’s throw (figuratively speaking) from one of … Continue Reading
We arrived in Gdansk on a rather cold Friday night. It was so late by the time we arrived that we barely saw anything of the city and seeing as it was our first time in Poland, I can’t even say that we knew what to expect. 🙂 Still, the four of us (me, Lloyd, … Continue Reading
London is home and has been for quite some time now and so it’s safe to say that from time to time, as amazing as the city is, we sometimes take it for granted. The only time I actually seem to make an effort to see the city is when I have guests visiting, in which case, … Continue Reading
Afternoon naps are an amazing thing aren’t they? They leave you so refreshed and all geared up to explore the world! (Even when they last for just an hour). Spurred by this new found energy, we left the Isles of Scilly Country Guesthouse (which at this point was basking in the island sunshine and ventured out … Continue Reading
A return to Lisbon was something that was always on the cards. It’s just one of those cities that is so easy to fall in love with, fall in step with and quite frankly, feel at home in. (I long since added it to the list of cities I’d happily move to). And so, with … Continue Reading
Bit of background, I’ve been quite lucky to have spent the last few months living outside of the UK. Funnily enough, for all my love of travelling, I’d never been to Asia before and so this was a summer of firsts. The first opportunity I got, I packed as much travel as possible into every … Continue Reading
The next day in Fort Lauderdale, we started the way every good day in Florida should start – with a breakfast of champions (at the Pelican Grand Beach). I decided to go for something different this morning and skip the pancakes in favour of steak and eggs. Steak and eggs isn’t really something you’d get … Continue Reading
Perched on the Baltic Sea, Lativa is probably best known for its gorgeous capital, Riga. That being said, there are a shed load of incredible and best places in Latvia that are beyond the capital, too. Surrounded by; Russia, Lithuania, Estonia and Belarus, Lativa has a pretty incredible mix of influences and spots that are … Continue Reading
