After a day exploring Stuttgart (and the markets at night), we decided to step out of the city in search of what lay outside of the city. The recommendation, by and large, was to go to Tubingen and if I’m totally honest, I wasn’t too sure what to expect. I knew there was a row … Continue Reading
After arriving out our amazing chalet (and toasty night sleep), I woke up bright and early for a day on the slopes. I’m not typically a morning person (I wish I was) but the excitement of getting out onto the slopes and enjoy the runs around Tignes beat any caffeinated drink or loud alarms in … Continue Reading
The following morning, we bade farewell to Clearwater a little too late to squeeze in any proper breakfast. (Save for a quick pastry and a coffee as we left). Leaving Clearwater, we didn’t really have any plans but we’d gotten a few recommendations along the way – one of which was John’s Pass Village. A … 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
After two nights exploring Nurburgring and all the many adrenaline-fuelled fun to be had here, it was finally time to leave and head off on the next leg of our road trip – the bit filled with castles, vineyards and the cutest villages and towns. Our first stop (well, more of a pit-stop really) was … Continue Reading
One of the biggest questions we’ve gotten is about how we travelled to Antarctica so I figured I might as well show you the full journey we took from London (our home city) to Antarctica. Plus, it takes me right to the very start of this trip so it’s a good way to start this … Continue Reading
After our sailing through Prince Christian Sound, we woke bright and early to the most insatiable views of Greenland, just north of Nanortalik. After a little briefing, we heard we would be making landfall in Greenland, anchoring off-shore and taking to the coast via the onboard zodiacs. I was so excited, especially as there was … Continue Reading
There are loads of beautiful things to do in Samos. I mean, I don’t think I’ve ever said anything different when it comes to Greece and its beautiful islands. Samos is a little less known, unlike its more popular siblings of Corfu, Santorini or Mykonos. Though, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t visit. You’ll love it. This was … Continue Reading
It comes as no surprise to most that I like a nice mix when it comes to apartment furniture so you can imagine my delight when I got the keys to this apartment in Lisbon. Actually, I should probably take a few steps back. We decided to go to Lisbon to celebrate a few birthdays … Continue Reading
Route 66 is known as the “Main Street of America” and a long-a*s street it is indeed! Route 66 starts in Illinois and ends in California and, if you look at the map below, you can see why it has this name. It effectively cuts across America and is arguably the most famous highway in … Continue Reading
Ben Thanh Market is one of the more exciting places to visit in Ho Chi Minh City. It’s a chance to truly get stuck in with the locals and test your bargaining skills. It’s a very different experience if you’ve lived in the UK and are so used to fixed priced items that the idea of … Continue Reading
Confession: I’m still not entirely sure how to pronounce Phuket! Is the ‘Ph’ pronounced like ‘F’ or ‘P’. Come to think of it, is the ‘Ket’ pronounced like ‘Pet” or ‘Pit’. To be entirely honest, I was too excited upon arrival in Phuket to ponder on these questions at any great depth. I just wanted … Continue Reading
This is one of those posts that you’re gonna need a pretty huge cuppa tea, some biscuits or perhaps even a scone or two slathered with clotted cream and (strawberry) jam to go with the post as it is rather ‘picture heavy’ so I’ll give you a minute or two to get yourself prepared. All … Continue Reading
“Where???” you ask. Palawan is a set of islands in the Philippines that can easily and rather justifiably be described as one of the most naturally beautiful places you can ever visit. Well, this made us book some flights and get ourselves over here for a little exploring; and we loved it. Whilst it’s a … Continue Reading
