Nestled in between the gorgeous Mediterranean Sea and the dramatic mountains of Cévennes is Nimes, one of France’s prettiest little cities! Of course, everyone has heard of the big-hitting destinations of Paris, Lille and Bordeaux, but there’s so much more to this incredible country that doesn’t involve the most popular ports-of-call… …case in point, with … Continue Reading
England is an incredibly beautiful country filled with so many places to see. Although we’ve got some pretty incredible cities like London, Bath, and Norwich, there are many more amazing and best places in southern England to visit that aren’t just focused on city life. From the little hamlets in the Cotswolds to the stunning Cornish … Continue Reading
Nestled on the western fringes of the country, Cologne is one of the best cities and best places in Germany to explore. Hands down! Bustling with life and character, there’s an incredibly diverse mix of the best things to do in Cologne that you won’t want to miss. Cologne is one of Germany’s largest and … Continue Reading
The night before we left for Cologne, our flights over were cancelled at the last minute. Funny thing is, before that, I’d never even considered any other way of getting to Germany, let alone Cologne. This all changed of course and before long, we rebooked to take the train to Cologne from London with a … Continue Reading
Cologne Cathedral is as amazing as they said it would be! I’d seen it briefly when we arrived by train the night before but didn’t have much time to explore it (nor would I have wanted to with our luggage in tow) so I was justifiably excited to finally get to see it properly (especially … Continue Reading
By this point, you’ve probably seen our lazy guide to a weekend in Amsterdam! Well, following on from that, we’ve finally gotten around to editing the video from said weekend and putting it on our YouTube channel (and on Facebook too). Amsterdam is one of those cities that we’ve visited so many times in the … Continue Reading
The sun came out to play the next day in Cologne! It’s funny how a little thing like blue skies can change the look of a city so much. After a quick walk through the city to burn off the breakfast calories, we found ourselves back at Cologne Cathedral, totally determined to climb it! By … Continue Reading
Making our way over from KölnTriangle to the city centre, we decided to pop into the fairgrounds for some more toffee apples (anyone who’s ever eaten a soggy supermarket toffee apple) will understand why we (but especially Lloyd) is obsessed with the stuff. We got a couple to go and walked over the bridge in … Continue Reading
Leaving the party at Museum Ludwig, we decided to go with the easy option and head next door to the Roman-Germanic Museum. The vibe here is a lot more laid back, even down to the musical act which made for a great cool-down spot with a brew while popping between ancient Roman artefacts. As Lloyd … Continue Reading
Barcelona is easily one of my favourite cities to visit, not just in Europe, but right across the world! There’s just so much to see and do here, not to mention the amazing food here too! (Seriously, if you’re really into food – Barcelona is one city that just keeps on giving). The vibe in Barcelona … Continue Reading
As you could probably tell from Instagram, we went skiing a couple of weeks ago in the Alps and boy was it fun! It was our second time skiing and so, I felt so much pressure to practise what I’d learnt the first time – turned out to be not quite as scary as I’d … Continue Reading
Told you were gonna start doing more and more videos! 😉 Sintra is arguably one of the most beautiful places to visit in all of Portugal and is one that we’ve been raving about for quite some time on here. We got to return to Lisbon this summer and headed straight for Sintra (and the … Continue Reading
Although Europe is pretty small (as continents go), there’s a whole heap of beautiful, diverse and totally stunning countries that are just too amazing to miss. That being said, it can be tough to whittle down a manageable list of the best places to visit in Europe during your trip. After all, you won’t be … Continue Reading
Arriving into Hamburg was certainly something of a surprise to the system. For starters, we arrived on a beautiful yet freezing cold day (after spending almost a month in over 30C temperatures in the Maldives and Sri Lanka), then there was how beautiful and ‘shiny’ the city looked, all prepped up for Christmas… … and … Continue Reading
