If you’ve been on our Instagram, Twitter or Facebook lately, you’ll probably have noticed that we’ve been to Japan – more specifically, Tokyo and I’ve got to say, this city is everything we’d hoped it would be and more. The trip came about as something of a last minute whim-after-wine with friends as we saw … Continue Reading
You may have already seen the post on how we visited Japan recently but what that post doesn’t actually say (and I realise this now) is that Korea was actually the place we booked to visit. Our flights were direct to Seoul and Japan was just one of those “Well, we’re in this part of … Continue Reading
Before all the jam-packed action in Tokyo and Seoul (…I’ve still got so much to tell you about that trip), we actually started off with a few days in Bilbao. Now Bilbao is a place we’ve only ever visited for the airport alone (it’s the gateway to the Spanish Basque Country) and so we decided … Continue Reading
This week we’ve returned to Switzerland (as you could probably tell from our Instagram) and for the most part of the week, we’ve basically flitted between the city lights of Zurich (and the tranquil charm of Ascona and Lake Maggiore in Ticino). It has been amazing! The weather has been so good (like ‘middle of … Continue Reading
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. Sounds like a bold claim but I’m gonna put the photos down below and you … Continue Reading
Our recent return to Portugal was certainly something of an eye opener! In addition to visiting a particular favourite of mine (Hey Lisbon), we got to head down to the coast and check out other parts of Portugal that we’d never seen of even heard of just a few months before visiting – it was … Continue Reading
I can’t even begin to tell you how much and for how long I’ve wanted to visit Nepal. It’s been one place I’ve always been fascinated by – in large part due to Mount Everest and the Himalayas) but in other parts due to the absolutely fascinating history of the country. Well, as you can probably … Continue Reading
As far as Greek holidays go, it’s probably safe to say that the islands (and some of the bigger cities in-land) tend to get most of the attention. Everyone wants (or has) that amazing photo of Santorini, Mykonos or Athens and very little spare a thought for some of the more rustic parts on the … Continue Reading
Now that’s a mouthful of title if ever there was one! Tomorrow, the 1st of July, is Canada Day (well it’s probably already ‘today” in some countries) and it’s not just your average Canada Day – it’s the 150th anniversary of Canada existing as a Confederation (which from what I recall is essentially when all … Continue Reading
These days, there aren’t that many destinations that tend to surprise me. This isn’t because the destinations aren’t amazing or beautiful or dramatic or whatever-else-you’d-look-for-on-your-travels. I think it’s in large part due to being able to do a fair bit of research online, see photos (and videos) before going. This means I tend to arrive … Continue Reading
On one random evening, many moons ago, we decided to we HAD to go to Hawai‘i (fine, “had to” might be a bit strong 😄) and within minutes, we’d booked flights to head out to Hawai’i! (Sidebar: A great deal had popped into my email a few hours prior so the resolve to go to … Continue Reading
I’m literally writing this from my hotel room in St Kitts (not sure how pertinent that is but just felt like something I needed to say). My intrigue with St Kitts actually started on a different Caribbean island, where over a lunch-time conversation with stranger-turned-new friends, I found out that St Kitts is actually, officially … Continue Reading
Thailand is a place that always surprises me. I remember the first time I visited – we were heading to Phuket and then to Phi Phi Islands – and I just had such a totally different expectation of Thailand. Movie and TV shows I’d seen had depicted it as a hectic, manic and uber-humid place … Continue Reading
I think I just fell in love! 😄 There are loads of beautiful places in Europe but every so often, some places creeps up on you and totally blows your expectations right out of the water. That places recently for me was Bavaria in Germany. This part of Germany is known for its castles… and I … Continue Reading
