I’m not even sure why we initially decided to hike up Huayna Picchu. I certainly knew nothing of the amazing view in-store at the top. I rarely ever go out of my way to climb mountains. Then there’s the fact that doing anything strenuous at high altitude becomes even more difficult as you find yourself … Continue Reading
Portugal is a gorgeous country to explore, and much more than cork products, it has become famous for the gorgeous sea and yummy port. It’s one country that seems to draw me back time and time again, with loads of historic cities, gorgeous national parks, and enough bacalhau to satisfy even the hungriest of tummies. One … Continue Reading
I’d wanted to write this post for quite some time now and always found some reason or the other not to (or to keep putting it off). Thing is, my general idea of travel is to approach it with a fair amount of optimism. Look for the best in everywhere you visit, try to make … Continue Reading
The next morning, we woke up to a day filled with fun wine-related plans – starting with a firm favourite of mine – a trip to a vineyard.

An Indonesian island so famous for its natural beauty that it barely needs any introduction. that being said, there’s a few essential things to know before visiting the island that I wanted to share.

*** This competition is now closed*** As you know, we’ve got a pretty big soft spot for Denmark (and anything Danish we can get our hands on). Our first, and subsequent, visits to Copenhagen were amazing! I mean, I don’t know if it was the beautiful Danish buildings, the epic Meat-Packing District, the amazing food or … Continue Reading
There’s a whole heap of totally unusual London facts that most of us miss when traipsing around some of the best areas of London. Worst of all, most are within plain sight!

On our final morning in Berlin, I decided it was high time we visited a place we’d missed out on, on our previous trip – Charlottenburg Palace; and also to finally explore inside the Berlin Cathedral. A quick taxi ride later – we arrived at the Palace – only to find that as it was … Continue Reading
Rome is beautiful, busy, sometimes manically so and one Italian city I just knew I had to spend ‘proper time’ in. Like none of that racing from sight to sight and instead more time for Aperol spritz and gelato! I wanted to enjoy Rome at my own pace, eat as much delicious food as possible, … Continue Reading
After spending a good six years studying in Fife, I’ve come to call this area of Scotland my second home. I mean, who wouldn’t?
