The first time I saw pictures of Pena Palace in Sintra (granted, this was quite a while back), I kinda didn’t believe it was a real place. It looks so grand yet so colourful that it seemed like something someone working in a Disney movie had drawn up. Of course, I very quickly found out … Continue Reading
Kuramathi is one of the bigger islands in the Maldives. It’s long enough that you would probably rather hop aboard one of the many golf buggies zipping through the island than attempt to walk the length of it. The surprising thing here however was the fact that, despite its relative size, it still manages to … Continue Reading
Italy is one incredible country to visit and I’m not going to tell any porky pies by saying otherwise. Italy is one of Europe’s most diverse countries, with completely different landscapes, cultures and weather. No trip to Italy is complete without devouring your whole weight in delicious grub; especially when it’s so tasty. I swear, … Continue Reading
It probably comes as no surprise that our continent has a pretty vast amount of the best places in Europe to explore. In fact, I’d go as far as saying that it’s tough to whittle down a list that’s just the best places. We’re talking beautiful and historic European cities, jaw-droppingly stunning mountains and even … Continue Reading
There are so many beautiful places to visit in Spain. Saying that it’s so easy to just assume that Spain is all about gloriously golden sandy beaches and sunny holidays (not that there is anything wrong with that) but Spain is a lot more diverse than just being a sunshine destination most Europeans flock to … Continue Reading
There are so many totally gorgeous and some of the best things to do in Lisbon perched all across the city. Plus, with it being one of the fastest-growing and most beautiful cities in Europe, it’s well worth taking a trip to this totally stunning Portuguese gem (that I properly love). With an incredible history, … Continue Reading
Chances are, if you’re thinking about visiting the UK, you’ll be thinking about visiting London? And even if you’re not, it’s likely you still might fly into one of its whopping 6 different airports that surround the city, which gives you every excuse to explore the capital. That being said, sometimes it’s nice to leave … Continue Reading
Wales is a beautiful country that has so many incredible places to see. That being said, there’s a whole treasure trove of the best things to do in West Wales that you might not have considered. Much more than just fluffy sheep and Tom Jones, Wales is a country that is perfect to explore regardless … Continue Reading

Iceland is a beautiful country to visit and one of the most unique when it comes to the most epic places to see! And, although a first-time visit to Iceland is an exciting prospect, there’s a heap of planning, logistics and bookings to be made to ensure a nice smooth trip. This is exactly why … Continue Reading
One our first morning in Edmonton (we arrived the evening before), I somehow managed to escape the jetlag entirely and woke up thoroughly refreshed and very eager to explore the city! We pretty much rushed downtown as early as possible for a group breakfast with new and old(er) friends at the rather delightful District Café. … Continue Reading
In retrospect, we really should have visited Edmonton a lot sooner. Lloyd has a friend who lives in the city and my cousin (like the ones you spend your childhood rolling in the mud with – not the kind you’re surprised to find out is actually your cousin), lives in Edmonton. Yet for some reason, … Continue Reading
Banksy has finally done it… he has created The Walled Off Hotel! Famed for his political pieces and his very own theme park called “Dismaland”, he’s conceived this place for us all to see. And, not surprisingly, it’s perched right next to the controversial wall that separates Israel from Palestinian territories. The Walled Off Hotel … Continue Reading
Thoroughly impressed by the Ice Castles of Edmonton, we made our way back to town grab some well-earned lunch at an old school Mexican restaurant called Rostizado.
