They say you’ll remember the first time you see the Great Wall of China forever. Well they don’t, I just came up with that, but it’s true. Hiking the Great Wall of China has been on the list for a while, and I’ve always wanted to spend some time here, take more than just a…
I’ve always wanted to visit Norway and finally got the chance, though not for a cruise. Instead, I explored the shore excursions, the “P&O Norway Cruise to the Norwegian Fjords” The Fjords aren’t exactly designed for road trips, just look at how many car ferries, winding mountain roads and bridges you need to cross. The…
When I first heard about the Path of the Gods Italy, a 130km hike (or walk) that connects Bologna to Florence my immediate thoughts were “I have to do it”! It even sounds epic, it’s a path of… GODS. I imagined grand views, huge mountain passes, and the kind of scenery found in this part…

Nestled in the heart of the French Alps, Les Arcs 2000 presents a perfect blend of challenging slopes, breathtaking Alpine scenery, and the utmost convenience for ski enthusiasts of all levels. It…
The term “Slice of life” didn’t mean anything to me before this trip to Morocco. It’s the name of the kite-surfing camp run by KiteWorldWide, in collaboration with Tom Court. I guess it’s more of a concept, I thought it was just a fancy name. After a few days here, I realised that there’s a…
Ever felt like going out on a sunny day but didn’t know where to go? Sometimes, the best adventures are right around the corner, and we don’t even realize it. I’ve traveled a lot, but never did a road trip in England before. And this is how, suddenly, I ended up going on a road…
It was over a year since my last visit to Japan, so having the opportunity to go back and visit an area of the country that evaded me on my last visit was amazing. And with so many things to do in Kobe, Japan, I knew I wouldn’t be disappointed. I spent a few days…
I think it’s been more than 15 years since I went on a cruise, back in early 2000s with family and friends. There are some key things that have stuck with me since. I remember sail away at sunset. I remember waking up excited to get off the ship and explore a new destination. I…
Bristol is easily one of my favourite cities in England. I’ve been there over 10 times, mostly for nights out I must admit. I was at University up the road in Cheltenham and a lot of bands would pass through Bristol. Despite this, I still find more to Bristol on every visit. And this time,…
In my recent article about New Brunswick and the Bay of Fundy, I put together the perfect itinerary for exploring New Brunswick and the Bay of Fundy. It was my first time exploring the Atlantic Coast of Canada, and some of these places have been on my Bucket List for years. Please note that we…
After visiting Vilnius this summer, the Baltic Sea Coast of Lithuania was bumped up my list of places I want to see. It’s known locally as a stunning area and a bit of a hidden gem. It might not be the case in the neighbouring countries, but for us Brits it’s undiscovered. Based out of…
I’m going to make a wild assumption. Registering for The Great Run Ethiopia is probably not on your bucket list. Not yet at least. Although if you find yourself here, reading this article, you are either interested in the event, in Ethiopia, or interested in running. So, here’s my chance to convince you why it…
Let’s start with one very important fact. Obertauern is the Ski Resort with the best snow depth in all of Austria – No wonder that this is an incredible Salzburg city break! It’s often nicknamed the “home of snow” or Snobertauern, and it’s easy to see why. It’s usually open early in the season and…
It’s one of the United States’ most popular cities, and a gem on the California coast. It was my second visit to San Francisco, so I wanted to go sightseeing in California it in style. First time around was somewhat rushed and I only had a day or two to run around and see the…
If you’ve followed Intrepid Escape for any period of time, you’ll have seen that I love nothing more than a good road trip. It’s all about the flexibility to plan the exact trip you want. Not to mention the open roads, good music, and great company (the latter is not absolutely necessary). So what better…
Would you believe me if I said that before this trip, I have never been to Poland? Let alone Gdańsk and the Pomorskie Region! Sometimes I can’t either. I have so many Polish friends who would be mortified by that statement. The worst part is I’ve known it’s a bit of a sleeping giant in…
Antalya is one of the most famous cities in Türkiye (Turkey) and for a good reason. It is right on the Mediterranean Sea and has all the history and beauty that Türkiye is known for. It’s also a great place to go if you’re looking for a cheap holiday that has the most stunning coastline…
It’s often referred to as the ‘Big Easy’ and sat along the banks of the Mississippi River, Louisiana. It is of course, New Orleans. Nola (New Orleans Louisiana) is a bustling city famous for its jazz music and creole cuisine, meaning this place truly is an assault on the senses (in a good way). And…
You often hear the it’s the people that make a destination. I’ve never found this more true than in Kerala, India. It’s somewhere that can distance itself from the rest of India, often being compared to Sri Lanka. But why? That could be the people, the landscape or the culture. Or perhaps the mix of…
If there’s one thing I love about group travel, it’s meeting like-minded people from all over the world with one thing in common, adventure! This activity-based trip from Intrepid Travel is one of their famous ‘hike, bike and kayak’ offerings. These are 3 things I love, in fact I just did a short triathlon in Winchester…
