Part of going travelling is finding ways to make it a richer experience. When you go backpacking, you start to learn things from a different perspective. While you may go on holiday with friends or family members, as you only get to see one side of it, especially from the perspective of a tourist, backpacking gives you a…
Fancy getting away for a little while? Not really sure what to do exactly? Well, you’re not on your own there, pal. Everyone has a little problem to solve in that regard every now and again – first world problems, huh? You have all these ideas, but only have so much money to play around with, and only…
They say that travel broadens the mind, and whoever coined that phrase had a point. The brain has so much space for knowledge, and there is so much to learn on this planet. If you’re stuck in the same country for your entire life, then you’re never going to be able to experience some of the wonders. You’ll…
As you all probably know or have gathered by various social media posts… I’M ENGAGED! I’ve dreamt about this moment forever, and it’s actually happened. I am going to marry the man of my dreams! So I bet you’re all wondering, how and where?! We were actually on a family holiday in Spain, on a yacht in the…

If you’re planning a trip to South America, you’ll probably be focussed on the beaches, the salt lands, and the rainforests, but you also need to know which cities are worth…
It’s been six years since I passed my driving test and it’s been a bumpy ride for sure. Don’t get me wrong, it’s brought so much freedom and independence to my life and I could not imagine my life without a car now, but it has also brought a financial burden to my life. It’s a commitment you…
Luxury travel is something more and more of us want from our vacation experience. We don’t want to sit in cramped airplane cabins, with a crying baby on the left and a sneezing old man on the right. We don’t want to have to wait ages at the airport to check in, and then finally get out to…
There aren’t too many more exotic places to visit than venturing to the Far East.
