One place I knew I really wanted to visit on this trip was Bhaktapur. I’d heard so much about it since we arrived and knew it would have to be added to our itinerary as soon as I knew about it. After leaving the historic town of Panauti, we headed straight for Bhaktapur – which … Continue Reading
We all have an idea of what our vacations should be and to be honest, for the most part, it can be fairly similar. A holiday to relax, one to conquer mountains, one to see sights, another to eat your weight in delicious foods… the list goes on and on. Don’t get me wrong – … Continue Reading
I always get excited when visiting Greece! I don’t know if it’s the food, the relaxed way of life or the food that I seem to inhale as soon as I arrive… whatever the reason, it’s one of my favourite countries to explore. That being said, until recently I’d only ever visited some of the gorgeous … Continue Reading
I’d heard some amazing things about the castle of Methoni (from our previous day in Costa Navarino), which was built by the Venetians over 800 years ago. The history of Greece still surprises me so much, it always seems so mystical and ancient… which is pretty obvious when I come to think of it! 🤣 … Continue Reading
Thoughts of Italy conjures up images of beautiful rolling hills, basking in that famous Italian sunshine, stunning cities, ancient churches and colourful picturesque houses all stacked on a hill overlooking the sea. By and large, this has come to be a big reason why most of us visit (or indeed, want to visit) Italy. Thing … Continue Reading
Autumn in London tends to be one of the quieter times of the year. You’re never quite sure what to wear – it starts to get a tad too cold to dine al fresco and the high of the summer’s events definitely start to wear off. Funnily enough, Autumn is also one of the prettiest … Continue Reading
On our final day in Nepal, we were kind of operating in panic mode. We’d spent so much time seeing so many different parts of Nepal that we’d left almost no time whatsoever to explore the capital city of Kathmandu. We had planned to do so the day before but were distracted by the historic … Continue Reading
Boudhanath is one of the largest stupas in all of Nepal and a very important sight to see in Kathmandu. It’s located on the old trade route with Tibet and is now a UNESCO World Heritage site. After making our way through the surprisingly fast-building traffic from our first stop of the day, we arrived … Continue Reading
When we arrived at Pashupatinath Temple, I don’t think I realised how big it actually was. You arrive at this seemingly unassuming date, walk through a fairly quiet walkway and before you know it, you’re in the heart of one of Nepal’s most sacred sites. Like Boudhanath before, Pashupatinath Temple is also a UNESCO World … Continue Reading
There are so many of the best things to do in Iceland during your trip. I mean, it’s a country that’s so gorgeous and so incredibly beautiful that you’re going to be spoilt for choice. Let’s be honest, though, Iceland is a country that needs little introduction, it seems like everyone and their cat is … Continue Reading
Long before we started blogging, while working a full-time job (or studying full time – depending on the year), we travelled almost as often as we currently do! It started like it does for most people – you book your first trip somewhere, have an amazing time and as soon as you get back home, start … Continue Reading
Barcelona is possibly one of the most iconic and colourful European cities to visit. From the stunning Gaudi Buildings to the yummy restaurants and tapas spots; there’s so many best things to see in Barcelona. Now, if it’s your first time to visit Barcelona you’ll probably be in the midsts of a planning haze on … Continue Reading
I’m going to come right out and say it; I’m a sucker for a great hotel. No matter how amazing that view of the Eiffel Tower, Edinburgh Castle or The Northern Lights is, going back to a dark, a dingy or uncomfortable hotel can just put such a huge dampener on a trip. It has … Continue Reading
I have to admit, when it came to cities I wanted to visit in China, Hangzhou wasn’t at the top of that list. That being said, there’s a heap of the best things to do in Hangzhou that are well worth a visit! You see, the bright lights of Shanghai, the hustle and bustle of … Continue Reading
