This was already high up on my list of unique experiences in Iceland and regardless of the weather, we were intent on doing it. Turns out, the weather was indeed awful everywhere else but when we turned up the rather scenic drive to Hestheimar, the weather quite literally took a turn for the better. Yes, … Continue Reading
I’ve never really been a fan of expensive headphones. The sound system, iPhone, MP3 player or whatever else the headphones were attached to – those items I could understand spending a lot of money on but not really headphones. In the past, I used to buy those cheap headphones you’d typically find in Tesco’s or … Continue Reading
It’s at the opposite end of the island from the capital, it’s not really got a lot of shops and houses and you’d be hard-pressed to find hordes of tourists milling around here but Akrotiri in Santorini is one of the places you should definitely visit in Santorini and here’s why! 1.) The Ancient Grecian … Continue Reading
As you already know, we’d been planning on going skiing and we have arrived in Austria to do just that! By now you already know the drill and know that I will be keeping you updated on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter with all the details and no doubt hilarity that will ensue from what is actually my first … Continue Reading
The general theme? Random photos of places, things and people I saw while walking around in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is such a vibrant and chaotic city and in that sense rivals any other global city and yet, within all this hustle and bustle, you can still manage to find a calm little oasis of … Continue Reading
The Cotswolds are renowned for being of the most sought after places to live in and indeed to holiday in, in the UK and rightly so. Every time we’ve been, it’s been the picturesque essence of British charm – even on dark and overcast days. The winding streets, ancient houses, cheerful people and acres of … Continue Reading

Okay, as you know, we’re currently in Austria skiing and as you can imagine with any skiing holiday, we’ve been so busy that it’s been tricky to do a blog post update hence why I have been providing more realtime updates on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, but I have now found … Continue Reading
Train travel is perhaps one of the best ways to explore the UK – especially if you don’t drive. Aww heck, even if you do drive, it’s still so much easier to get on a train, relax and watch the cities and countryside whiz past. Plus, it’s pretty easy to get around the country and … Continue Reading
My love for travelling started at an early age… and I remember the very first long-haul family vacation to Antigua! I particularly remember how much I loved the journey, the buckled seat belt that clicked in with ease… little pear flavoured sweets to suck, alleviating my “ear-popping” and views that took you away from the … Continue Reading
If you ever find yourself driving in Iceland, you will find that you will have to make many impromptu road stops just to take in the landscape and take in a few photos. Try as you might, no one can resist doing this and it is this very act that led the 4 of us … Continue Reading
Everyone loves a ‘concept’ hotel – you know, those hotels with something special about them and they don’t come more special than an underwater hotel with a view! These hotels are less about cosy beds, the finest cotton duvets or the tastiest room service menus, although they do pack these stuff in oodles but instead … Continue Reading
Let’s play a fun little game. Or at least what I’d like to think of as a full little game. 😉 It’s not a serious post or anything of the sort, I’m just genuinely intrigued to find out which options you’ll choose! On some level, I think it may be a version of a sanity … Continue Reading
I went skiing for the first time recently – you probably know this from this post here (and here) and my countless Instagram, Facebook and Twitter updates. Before going skiing, we did all the typical planning – get ski gear, find our how to get to the town, sort out ski passes, figure out where … Continue Reading
Palermo welcomed us to its ancient and historic city with rain. And not the kind of rain that you can ignore for a bit but the kind that carries on till it gets everywhere – in your shoes, your pockets, your bags – everywhere. And just when you think the rain has stopped, it starts … Continue Reading
