Barcelona is an absolute gem of a city to visit and is justifiably one of the most popular cities to visit in Europe. There’s no shortage of amazing sights to see, things to do and delicious foods to eat, too. In fact, most of our regular haunts have come from tips for visiting Barcelona from … Continue Reading
After a day of hiking many-a-mountain (okay, fine – just two mountains), we spent the rest of that evening in Sri Lanka having calming Ayruveda massages and dining on as much delicious Sri Lankan food as we could lay our hands on (which was quite a lot). ^Above is where you have the massages by … Continue Reading
The beauty of Norway is something that always captures my attention; the stunning fjords, dramatic coastline and beautiful towns make this a country that truly deserves the hype. Honestly, there are so many of the best things to do in Alesund that you won’t know where to start. It’s a great little town for a visit … Continue Reading
Much as we would have liked to explore a Buttercup route that after leaving the pretty little village of Gasadalur (which is home to that amazing waterfall), we had to hot-footed it across the island back to the capital city of Torshavn where we had plans to try our hands at some Faroese rib boating! These … Continue Reading
After leaving the blistering heat in Kandy, we were only too happy to arrive at our next stop on our trip across Sri Lanka which turned out to be an indoor event. In retrospect, I probably would have preferred it outdoors but I can’t even pretend – I was far too grateful for that air-conditioning! … Continue Reading
As mentioned before, the Saksunarvegur route eventually leads to Saksun and while on the face of it, Saksun might sound like your regular tint little village, once you arrive here, you soon realise why it’s so special and unlike any other village you’ve ever visited. Reason – the view here is absolutely incredible! We’re talking … Continue Reading
The United Kingdom is a pretty diverse country that’s a perfect place to explore at any time of the year. The plus side of our summers being erratic is that our winters aren’t particularly extreme so there’s no ‘wrong’ time to visit the UK. With literally hundreds of cities and towns, shed loads of castles … Continue Reading
Ibiza is a funny little cookie. It’s a hedonistic getaway on one end of the spectrum and a holistic holiday at the other. It attracts a crowd so diverse that it’s hard to pin-point one specific ‘type of traveller’ the island is suited to. In fact, its probably safe to say Ibiza’s best visitors are … Continue Reading
One thing that always stands out about Great Britain is our diversity! I mean, we’ve got some beautiful national parks, vibrant cities like Edinburgh and London, plus a shed load of unique things to see and do in Great Britain. Now, being a Brit, I know I’m biased but I think everyone needs to spend … Continue Reading
To be perfectly honest, I had no idea what to expect of Slovenia and so, even though I arrived fairly open-minded, I was genuinely pleased to see nothing but beautiful rolling hills, cows (surrounding their respective farm houses) and a fair selection of vineyards as we cycled our way through the countryside (just outside of … Continue Reading
Especially so if you’re visiting Barcelona to have a good time! Taking in all the sights to see in Barcelona is so much fun but it’s also pretty hungry business and so, after a long and fulfilling day sightseeing with locals (and one filled many things Gaudi), all we (and our feet) wanted to do was … Continue Reading
Luxembourg is one of Europe’s smaller countries and although it’s easily one that’s overlooked when planning any European travel, it’s one of the most charming places in Europe to visit (and I’m not say that lightly either). The thing with Luxembourg is that it’s relatively small size means its fairly easy to do quite a lot … Continue Reading
There’s a lot of information out there about solo travel (including how great it is) but I have to admit, given half the chance, I’d much rather travel with friends. This is not a judgement about solo travel (in fact it has very little do with it as I’ve done solo travel quite a bit … Continue Reading
There are far too many amazing sights to see in Norway and the West Coast of Norway is one of the best places to get started with any trip to Norway – not least of all because of its amazing Fjords. After our trip to Oslo, followed by an amazing trip to Flam and Bergen … Continue Reading
