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 see it in style. First time around was somewhat rushed. I only had a day or two to run around and see the sights. This time I…
Let’s start with one very important fact. Obertauern is the Ski Resort with the best snow depth in all of Austria! 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 if there is one place that’s guaranteed snow, it’s here. Scientific…
I’m going to make a wild assumption. Registering for The Great Ethiopian Run 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…
When I plan to visit somewhere, like you I research a whole host of options looking for the best things to do. The must-see spots, tourist hotspots, hidden gems, unique experiences etc. Nowadays I use a mixture of Travel Blogs like mine, Google and social media to find my inspiration. It always disappoints me how…
Typical holidaymakers go away to escape from the real world and take a break from their reality. And so they should. As a person who is constantly engaged in the digital world, I like nothing more than disconnecting. In fact, I plan to take a digital detox in the very near future. One of those…
Ever since the first trip I’ve ever taken, I’ve appreciated the benefits of group travel. From adventures in South East Asia, to city hopping in Europe, I love group travel. Yes it has its downsides, and sometimes you just want to travel solo. However if you get like-minded people together, looking for the same thing,…
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…
Would you believe me if I said that before this trip, I have never been to Poland? 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 travel. Specifically, in terms of the outdoor…
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…
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. Different layers, new…
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. Kobe City and the Kansai region is somewhere I simply didn’t have time to go. On top of that it’s a…
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…
We all know the feeling; it’s a beautiful day outside and you want to do something, but you just don’t know what? You know you want it to be different but are lacking inspiration. A lot of us are guilty of not exploring our backyard enough. Myself included. I’ve seen more of New Zealand than…
There’s something about Austria that’s always appealed to me. I’ve loved every trip I’ve taken here at any time of the year. As a summer destination it’s sometimes overlooked, particularly the mountains. I don’t understand why, I can’t think of many better places to hike or bike in the summer. As a region, Salzburgerland has…
Barcelona is another European city made hugely accessible by the rise of budget airlines, yet it’s sometimes overlooked as a holiday or long weekend destination. Us Brits in particular chose the Balearic Islands or Costa del Sol (well some of us). So after an incredible trip to Catalonia (check out my 7 Secrets of Catalonia),…
The Netflix series Narcos opens with the quote “Magical realism is defined as what happens when a highly detailed, realistic setting is invaded by something too strange to believe.’’ Just outside Winchester, Hampshire is a natural amphitheatre, known locally as the devil’s punchbowl. It’s a quintessential piece of tranquil English countryside; rolling green hills with…
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…
In this article I’m letting the video above do all the talking, with just a few words from me. It had been 15 years since I was last in Les Arcs, on an annual University ski trip, I was part of the Ski & Snowboard club and the University of Gloucestershire. I always remember it…
When I first heard about the Path of 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 of…
Let’s start with this confession – I’ve never been to Norway. Well at least not before this trip. Why? I don’t know, the longer it got the higher up the list it went. I knew I’d like it, correction, I knew I’d LOVE it. So naturally when I was discussing visiting with P&O Cruises it…
