The first thing you’ll notice about Los Angeles is how huge it is. It seems to stretch as far as the eye can see, with heaps of places to explore. Thankfully, this usually means there are lots of the best free things to do in Los Angeles. Now, to me, Los Angeles feels like a … Continue Reading

Now, New Mexico is one of those states that I personally feel is undervalued by … Continue Reading

Cape Verde wasn’t one tiny little archipelago that’s perched around 400 km off the coast of West Africa. I have such fond memories of visiting, especially with all the amazing things to do in Cape Verde. I mean, you’re going to be spoilt for choice. Flights from cities like London usually take around 5-6 hours … Continue Reading

One of the most fantastic surprises of our time staying at the Hotel Eden Roc by Lake Maggiore in Switzerland was definitely spending an afternoon on Brissago Island. For starters, it was actually a genuine surprise because I’d never even heard of this island prior to arriving into Ascona… …then there was the beautiful island … Continue Reading

Before arriving in the Highlands, I’d heard so much about the North Coast 500 route and so wanting to do the NC500 drive (at least, in part) was something I came prepared for! The Wester Ross Coastal Trail, on the other hand, I had never even heard of. I know I keep going on and … Continue Reading

For the first time since we arrived in Vancouver (on this trip, anyway), we decided to tear ourselves away from the wonderful breakfast at the Shangri La and head into town for breakfast. There was a place in town everyone kept raving about and my gluttony was far too intrigued to not pop in and … Continue Reading

So here’s the scene – it’s the middle of winter and despite your travels during the year (and constant insistence that you’re done with swelteringly hot summer days), you’ve found yourself smack in the centre of a cold wintery snap (with full-on grey clouds to match).
