Once upon a time, we used to live in Scotland (back when we were students up in St Andrews), but never had the time to explore. That being said, today, we were gonna change that by exploring Dunnottar Castle in Scotland. It’s funny but even living in Edinburgh (after university), I always kinda took it … Continue Reading
After our morning spent hiking up to Arco castle, the only thing I had on my mind once we hopped back into the car was food! I wanted lunch… and lots of it too! We drove over to Drena for a taste of traditional Italian food that’s pretty typical to this part of Northern Italy. … Continue Reading
The Philippines is a stunning country to explore that’s filled with thousands of tropical islands, stunning beaches and a heap of amazing cities. And that’s the thing, with so many islands you’re almost guaranteed to find some of the best places in the Philippines to explore. Now, I have no hesitation in saying that you … Continue Reading
Leaving Ketchikan, I remember (rather eagerly) looking forward to our very next port stop on our Celebrity Cruise through Alaska. The next stop was in Juneau after all and hopefully, this would finally be the chance for us to get to see some whales. At this point, I didn’t even care what sort of whale … Continue Reading
The Netherlands might be a relatively small country but don’t let its size put you off. There are some pretty incredible and best places in the Netherlands that aren’t just the key sites like Amsterdam. Yes, Amsterdam is pretty cool (and totally worthy of its amazing reputation), but it is easy to overlook some of the … Continue Reading
I am one of those people that never learned to ski growing up. In fact, I didn’t really start skiing until around six years ago. That being said, skiing is now one of my favourite winter trips to go on… and, surprisingly (or perhaps not), not just because of the skiing itself. As they say, … Continue Reading
We had such grand plans for lunch in Calgary. We had recommendations from Instagram, we had locals recommend stuff to us and even did some research in advance. Leaving lunch as late as we did, however, threw all of those plans out of the window as we hot-footed it to what was one of the … Continue Reading
Visiting the Vatican city in Rome was something of a big deal when we visited. For starters, I’d read about it, seen photos about it and heard so many stories for so long that my excitement was through the roof at finally being able to visit. Then there’s the fact that you have to prepare … Continue Reading
After our rather amazing drive through the Icefields Parkway and exploring the beauty of Abraham Lake, we made our way back to Banff to grab our stuff from the hotel and head over to our final stop of the trip; Lake Louise. Specifically, Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. This time, we would be staying at the … Continue Reading
The next morning, after a day exploring and subsequently falling in love with Quebec (as well as developing a bit of a crush for autumn with its beautiful fall foliage), we packed up and headed out to explore even more of the province of Quebec, beyond its beautiful capital city. Our main destination for the … Continue Reading
The Canadian province of Ontario is totally huge; just like the rest of Canada is (obviously)! Now, it might not be the largest of all the provinces, but it certainly has the most people that live there. This all makes it a great place to visit, with a heap of the best places in Ontario … Continue Reading
The Canary Islands are a totally stunning archipelago that’s so beautiful to visit. Interestingly, it’s a part of Spain and actually closer to Morocco, which makes for a sun-soaked climate for a great holiday. Though it’s not just the sun that makes the Canary Islands so special, there’s actually a Shed load of natural beauty … Continue Reading
Leaving Burg Eltz, our final stop on this road trip before heading back to London was Aachen. It’s a city near the border of the Netherlands and Belgium, making for the perfect stop before hopping aboard our DFDS ferry back to London (well actually, to Dover and then driving to London). We checked into the … Continue Reading
There’s no prize for guessing that Canada is one of my favourite countries to visit. Heck, it’s one of my favourite countries in the world; full stop! Not only is it stuffed with some epic cities to explore, but it’s also got a huge mix of places to visit just outside Canada’s epic cities, too. … Continue Reading
