There are so many reasons why we all travel! And yes, wine can be one of them! It doesn’t matter what region of the world you’re visiting, you can usually find at least a few wine regions and vineyards to visit, especially in Europe. This is exactly why I wanted to share some of the … Continue Reading
Fjord Safari Flam is one of the best things to do when visiting this region. And it really was a highlight of our trip to Flam! Norway’s fjords are famous the world over and after a trip up the mountains to see the Sognefjord from the top, we had a trip from the bottom, on the … Continue Reading
You might remember that time we went to Antigua… well, I went to Antigua and Lloyd went to Barbados for the week and we had a little competition from both islands to see which one was the more fun island! There was a daily theme and every – best sunsets, favourite views…etc Anyway, here’s my … Continue Reading
Our first vineyard visit after arriving in French wine country only spurred on the thirst for more wine. With that, we headed over to Maison des Vins de Bergerac in, you guessed it – Bergerac, for even more wine tasting (*I ended up having to get a bottle of a rather sweet white to take … Continue Reading
Several months ago, after wanting to for years, we finally got to visit Yorkshire in the North of England and boy, was it worth the wait! It was just everything I’d hoped it would be and more. My only ‘regret’ (I use that word very VERY loosely – Yorkshire was just so amazing) was that … Continue Reading
Summer’s officially here (even though the last of Spring weather is still around in bits and pieces all across Europe) and to celebrate the start of summer (and to also drag you into our latest summer obsession), I’ve put together a list of places you should definitely consider going to for a beach holiday this … Continue Reading
Madagascar is probably not the first place most people think of when it comes to planning your holiday but despite the country being one of the most remote places to visit, there are so many reasons to visit Madasgascar (or at least to think about it when you’re planning your holidays) and here are just … Continue Reading
Well-fed and Martini-ed after lunch, we decided to head off to explore even more of Montpellier – starting with some gems hidden in plain sight. The first of said gems was a 13th-century Mikvé. To be totally honest, I had no idea what a Mikvé was before visiting Montpellier (it was only thanks to a … Continue Reading
Boudhanath is one of the largest stupas in all of Nepal and a very important sight to see in Kathmandu. It’s located on the old trade route with Tibet and is now a UNESCO World Heritage site. After making our way through the surprisingly fast-building traffic from our first stop of the day, we arrived … Continue Reading
Right down by the harbour, I finally had that Nordic hotdog I’d been craving. (*For some reason, they just seem to taste so much better up here). Watered and fed (actually more like ‘Fanta’d and fed’) we headed down to the pick up our kayaks (and our instructor) and go off exploring Geirangerfjord. Except, due … Continue Reading
There isn’t really much to this story! Ha! Visiting Boston, my friends recommended I head over to Harvard and see what the general neighbourhood is like. I’d never been so I figured “Hey, why not?” Long story short, I ended up getting frozen yoghurt and headed for the nearest patch of grass I could find … Continue Reading
Our last trip to Nimes was one of those perfect friend’s holidays. Nimes is an incredible Roman city in France and is actually one of the best preserved Roman cities in the world (its temple and amphitheatre are prime examples of this) – not quite what you’d expect from a French city right? We managed … Continue Reading
One of the biggest questions we’ve gotten is about how we travelled to Antarctica so I figured I might as well show you the full journey we took from London (our home city) to Antarctica. Plus, it takes me right to the very start of this trip so it’s a good way to start this … Continue Reading
