I’ve got one question for you! Why had no one told me how beautiful San Sebastian is? I love a beautiful city as much as next traveller but for some reason or the other, I’d never quite made it to San Sebastian – this all changed however when we visited The Basque Country. But you … Continue Reading
One of the many joys of a trip to Iceland is learning to (or at least trying to) pronounce Icelandic names and perhaps, one of the more fun ones to try to pronounce is the Eyjafjallajökull volcano… …but more on that later. The first time I saw the Northern Lights was by no means unplanned. The … Continue Reading
A trip to Iceland is amazing in itself but seeing the Northern Lights is truly the perfect cherry on that cake! But more on that later on in this post… Now, long before arriving in Iceland, I was already looking forward to visiting Hotel Laki. This was for several reasons (including the promise of seeing … Continue Reading
I just got a new camera and I’m chuffed to bits about it. I started to feel a bit like I’d outgrown my other camera (I’d had it for years) and I finally decided to go up a notch and get a full-frame camera. The only thing is I now have the whole ‘new camera’ … Continue Reading
Now any Game of Thrones fan worth their salt knows Croatia plays a key role in the series. A lot of Daenerys’ scenes were shot here in Split and scenes from Kings Landing were shot in Dubrovnik. It’s very easy to take for granted while watching the series the reason behind the location choices on … Continue Reading
Fjord Safari Flam is one of the best things to do when visiting this region. And it really was a highlight of our trip to Flam! Norway’s fjords are famous the world over and after a trip up the mountains to see the Sognefjord from the top, we had a trip from the bottom, on the … Continue Reading
We arrived late in the evening in Milan for our trip across Italy. Thankfully, we didn’t have much planned for the first evening asides meeting the organisers of the rickshaw tour and other participants over drinks and nibbles so the evening went by in a rather relaxed fashion… (prosecco will do that to you). The … Continue Reading
Hands down, Santorini is one of my favourite Greek destinations and probably one of the most ‘well-known’ out of the hundreds of tiny little islands that blanket the Aegean Sea. The island itself has some of the best scenery and pretty little towns that perch onto the high cliff edges of the volcanic caldera, it’s a truly … Continue Reading
This is exciting news! Remember our last trip to Amsterdam? You know the one with that house boat? In that post, we spoke briefly about an exciting project that we were working on with Airbnb… Well, it’s finally here! Presenting – our campaign with Airbnb.
As I write this post, I am frantically packing my suitcase and stuffing in winter coats, beach shorts, warm woolly jumpers, flip-flops…etc amongst other things. It feels so strange to be packing such contrasting travel gear (winter coats and beach short???) but there’s a good reason behind this. We’re getting ready to visit a few … Continue Reading
It’s safe to say this was a trip we’d been looking forward to for a while, and seeing as we had only two nights to spend in Madrid, we figured we might as well make it count and go for a hotel that definitely stands out. That hotel happened to be the Hotel Urso in Madrid’s … Continue Reading
This is the 3rd part of a 5 part series chronicling Stephen of Uncharted Backpacker‘s journey through Afghanistan – if you missed it, see all the other parts here. FROM STEPHEN Onwards to Kabul Spending around a week in the Northern regions, it was time to head south. I caught the three AM public bus from Mazar … Continue Reading
Before we arrived in Cape Town, I’d never heard of Hermanus. After we checked into our hotel, someone mentioned a placed called Hermanus (in a conversation I may or may not have been eavesdropping on while sipping on my bubbly by the pool) and from that point onwards, everyone seemed to talk about this amazing place … Continue Reading
This one’s been a long time coming! 🙂 A bit of background… When we first started travelling (many years before we even started blogging on here), travel for me was all about explore new destinations in different countries and as lovely as it was (and still is) to do so, one thing that can be said for travel … Continue Reading
