I’ve never been a fan of the whole “quit your job to travel the world” thing. I’ve said it before (literally a couple of days ago here… and in this post here) and I’ll say it again. Thing is, it’s not something I’ve stopped to think about and then reached the conclusion that I didn’t … Continue Reading
When you think of visiting Germany, there are just so many amazing cities (and towns) that leap right to the top of the list with so many other gems kinda overlooked. Munich (especially with its famous Oktoberfest), Berlin with its famous Dom, grit and amazing nightlife, Cologne’s Christmas markets and Hamburg’s Hanseatic charms, not to … Continue Reading
After that ‘refreshing’ dip in the Arctic Sea, we meandered slowly through the city centre of Tromso before heading to our new hotel, smack in the centre of the action (I use that term lightly – it was a long public holiday so the city wasn’t nearly as busy as it typically would be). Our … Continue Reading
For the first time since we arrived in Vancouver (on this trip, anyway), we decided to tear ourselves away from the wonderful breakfast at the Shangri La and head into town for breakfast. There was a place in town everyone kept raving about and my gluttony was far too intrigued to not pop in and … Continue Reading
Ever since we laid out our plans for Vancouver, there was one thing I was really looking forward to – that thing was heading over to Whistler for the day. This was partly because I’d never gotten to visit Whistler before but mostly because the views on the way over were said to be absolutely … Continue Reading
I have no idea how to make this post short so I’m not even gonna try! Once you see the photos from that flight to (and from) Whistler, you’ll understand why it was a struggle to stop taking photos – that place is gorgeous. Suffice to say, your obligatory tea and biscuits (oh, what the … Continue Reading
For quite some time now, I’ve been intrigued by the idea of going on a day trip to France. Predominantly because everyone I knew who’d been raved about how cheap the wines once you crossed over on the ferry but partly because I kinda wanted those bragging right “Oh, I just popped over to France … Continue Reading
For as long as I can remember, I’d always wanted to properly visit Yorkshire. In fact, now that I think about it, I actually almost ended up studying in York (twice!). I’ve been in Yorkshire very briefly but never actually gotten round to exploring it – not even the beautiful city of York which I … Continue Reading
Colombia is one of those countries that seems so intriguing to me. Perched at the very northern tip of South America, it’s really started to pique my interest in wanting to visit. That being said, most of my knowledge of Colombia has been centred around Medellin and Bogota… until now. That’s why we wanted to … Continue Reading
*** This competition is now closed*** As you know, we’ve got a pretty big soft spot for Denmark (and anything Danish we can get our hands on). Our first, and subsequent, visits to Copenhagen were amazing! I mean, I don’t know if it was the beautiful Danish buildings, the epic Meat-Packing District, the amazing food or … Continue Reading
We recently partnered with P&O Ferries on a day trip to France (which turned out to be the perfect excuse to go Christmas shopping – not just for gifts but for really cheap champagne and cheeses). It was easily one of the most convenient trips we’ve taken to France. We arrived at the Ferry terminal … Continue Reading
This is something of a different post! Well, actually, it’s not that different, it just starts with a freebie we all can use at the best places to shop in London. 🙂 I’ve always been a fan of making money stretch as far as it can – doesn’t matter if it’s £10 or £1,000. After all, no … Continue Reading
Ibiza is one of those incredible Balearic Islands that’s so epic to explore. Much more than just partying, there are so many incredible and best things to do in Ibiza which are dotted all across the island. Now, as I said, Ibiza is known for its world-class nightlife, but there’s so much more to Ibiza … Continue Reading
Out of all the Greek islands like; Corfu, Samos, Santorini or Mykonos, Crete is (without a doubt) the largest. It’s a place filled with everything from historic forts, plates of yummy Greek food and oodles of beautiful scenery. There’s a whole heap of amazing things to do in Crete. I promise you’ll be spoilt for choice. Now, as I said, … Continue Reading
