Salvation Mountain California is an artistic landscape that stands colourfully in the California Desert which I’m sure you’ll love! Erected over 30 years ago, this landscape has been created by volunteers that look after this one-of-a-kind spot. And to be honest, it’s easy to see why… it’s so unique. That’s why I wanted to share some more … Continue Reading
Up until a “penny drop moment” last year, we’d been so obsessed with the idea of trying to see as much of the world as possible (outside of the UK) that we’d completely overlooked what was in our own “back garden”. The UK is a treasure trove of amazing sights to see, things to do and … Continue Reading
Iceland is a total dream country to visit, especially if you’re keen on the kind of trip that’s a little different from a beach or tropical holiday. That being said, it’s totally huge (much bigger than you might think)! So, I wanted to share our 1-week itinerary to visit Iceland that’ll help you along your … Continue Reading
After a few days in Madrid (and a quick stopover for a few hours back at home in London), we finally headed out to the Maldives! I can’t even pretend! I’d been looking forward to this trip for quite a while so I was justifiably excited when it finally arrived. A few movies, a snooze and a ‘couple’ of … Continue Reading
First off, I’ll just admit it – I seriously underestimated Cape Town! The main reason why we visited South Africa was to go on safari and visiting Cape Town was initially nothing more than a was to spend a few extra days between the safari and returning to London. If we’d known how amazing it was and … Continue Reading
The Maldives are the epitome of island paradise and the dream destination of pretty much everyone you ask – seriously, ask anyone around you right now if they’d want to visit the Maldives. 🙂 These pristine, beautiful islands in the Indian Ocean are a haven of natural beauty and one of those places that definitely … Continue Reading
Table Mountain has always been a big one for me! It was one of the very first things I saw in Cape Town (I have any blurry plane photos to prove that) and it had me bouncing like a kid in a candy shop the first time I saw it in the distance on the drive … Continue Reading
The ancient city of Polonnaruwa is as vast and huge as it is impressive and so, try as I might, I haven’t been able to fit all of the photos into one blog post. After our visit to the UNESCO World Heritage ancient city of Anuradhapura, I’m not really sure what I was expecting from Polonnaruwa but … Continue Reading
Singapore is one of the smallest countries in the world you can visit but don’t let that fool you for a second, it’s also one pretty exciting place, especially if you’re visiting Singapore for the first time. On the surface of it, Singapore seems like just a shiny collection of high-rise apartment and corporate buildings but … Continue Reading
Copenhagen is a surprising city and I say that with love! It’s one of those cities that feels almost town-like in its appearance but with the buzz and vibrancy that matches any major capital city across Europe. There’s honestly a heap of the best places to see in Copenhagen and you’ll be spoilt for choice … Continue Reading
After deciding to postpone the visit to Meert (the home of all things delicious in Lille), we figured we might as well carry on our trek around the city of Lille! From a distance (even further than pictured below), I spotted this spire and figured it was worth going to see what it was all … Continue Reading
To be fair, our trip to Slovenia was laden with agenda and that was to discover the country’s wine! Europe as a whole produces a lot of really great wine (even in the UK though beers, ales and spirits are more our thing) and a lot of popular countries like Italy, Spain and France get … Continue Reading
Confession time: I’ve never really been a fan of mushrooms. I just find the taste a bit too ‘earthy’ (I typically describe them as tasting like mushy dirt). I can’t honestly tell you why either. In small quantities (e.g. mini pieces on a pizza), I can just about handle them but when you serve up a … 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
