Helsinki Weekender: Things to do in Helsinki, Finland

Things to do in Helsinki - Intrepid Escape

I recently spent some time in Helskinki to celebrate Finland’s 100th birthday! The capital of Finland has a lot to offer, so whether you’re visiting for a weekend, or on a stopover from the airport. Take my list, save it in your phone, and do as many of the following as physically possible during your…

Running in Kungsholmen, Stockholm

Run of the month Stockholm

Whenever I find myself in a new place, where possible I will always try to run and explore it. There’s no better way to get your bearings, and get a feel for a city or place you’re in. I was in Stockholm for TBEX, a conference for Travel Bloggers, and stayed in a hostel near…

Watching Baby Sea Turtles in Tortuguero, Costa Rica

Baby Sea Turtles Tortuguero

I was ridiculously excited about my first trip to Costa Rica, it’s a destination that’s been high on my hit list for a long time, and watching Sea Turtles hatch and make their way to the ocean is on my bucket list! So as soon as I got the itinerary, like a kid I made…

Pilanesburg National Park & Game Reserve, South Africa

Pilanesburg National Park

Recently I visited South Africa for the first time; this amazing trip was centred around Johannesburg. It was a jam packed itinerary, which saw me discover Soweto, take a tour of the city, Bungee from the Orlando Towers, and then spend a couple of unforgettable days in Pilanesburg National Park. Pilanesburg National Park and Game…

Road trip to the European Bike Week, Faaker See

European Bike Week Jeep

When I was first made aware of Jeep’s ‘Off The Map’ campaign, I couldn’t think of anything more inline with Intrepid Escape. Spontaneous adventure, breaking away from the norm, escaping routine. So I couldn’t have been more thrilled to be invited to join them on a road trip from Venice Italy, to Faaker See in…

California Calling: LA to San Francisco with Trek America

California Calling - Intrepid Escape

Five years ago, I took off with a round the world ticket, it finished in the USA. It was the best thing I ever did in my life, and shaped my future in travel. But there’s always been one part of that itinerary missing, a part I had to skip. I found out the hard…

No Excuses: 3 tips for keeping fit when travelling

Keeping fit when travelling - Intrepid Escape

Being the lucky little wanderer I am, last year I found myself on no less than 15 getaways, for both work and pleasure. From the tropics of Bali, to the gritty streets of Shenzhen, the artsy cafes of Hanoi to the summery (yes, actually) London town – it was a jam-packed year of packing, travelling…

The 7 Greatest Moments of 2015

Top 7 Moments 2015

The New Year is always a great time to reflect on the previous year, think about the things in life you are grateful for, what you could have done differently, what you want to achieve the following year and what’s important in life. Living a life filled with travel is a privilege, one I have…

Pouring Kozel beer with a Czech Beer Master

Kozel Brewery - Intrepid Escape

When ever I visit somewhere new, it’s always on my list to sample the local beer and check out the craft beer scene. So visiting Prague with My Travelove is a beer-drinkers dream! In 2011 Czech Republic was the 15th largest producer of beer which isn’t bad considering the size of the country. It’s always…

Exploring Panama: The Country that Connects the World

Exploring Panama - Intrepid Escape

You don’t come across too many people who pop to Panama for a holiday, and it’s never been somewhere high on my list if I am completely honest. I figured I’d see it one day, and I’ve always been interested in the Panama Canal, but other than that I don’t know much about it. This…

Is there a British Music Festival better than Bestival?

Bestival 2015

It could be because it’s the final festival of the season, it could be the Island mentality you get on the Isle of Wight, or it could just be the crazy 2015 Summer of Love theme. Who knows? But Bestival is one of the greatest festivals I have every been to, certainly on UK soil….

The First Ever World Cup of… Horse Boarding!

Horse Boarding - Intrepid Escape

A-dam Underwear has had some brilliant and innovative marketing ideas over the years, whether it’s with photos or videos to prove they can ‘meet the modern man’s needs with designer boxers‘. They are no stranger to publicity stunts either. But when they did a photo shoot of a man, being pulled on a wakeboard behind…

Millionaire Lifestyle: Private Island Getaway, Song Saa Cambodia

Song Saa Millionaire - Intrepid Escape

It’s not every day you wake up and have to rub your eyes a few extra times, splash your face, even slap yourself round the face, just to make completely sure you’re not dreaming. It’s not every day you wake up in paradise, in a Royal Villa built on stilts over the ocean, overlooking the…

An “Audio-visual Joyride” Boomtown Fair 2015

Boomtown Fair - Intrepid Escape

As I sit in a queue of traffic leaving Boomtown, jaded and blurry eyed, watching the last few zombie-like people staggering around, I can’t help but ask myself… What the hell just happened? I’m not talking about piecing together the night before on a hangover. I’m trying to take in what has been one of…

10 Things You Must Do in Alberta, Canada

Alberta Top 10 Canada - Intrepid Escape

Alberta is a wonderful place, and with lists like these there are always more than 10 to consider. For starters, Jasper and Banff National Parks has some of the most stunning scenery I’ve witnessed, so also take time to read Jasper vs Banff: The Alberta National Park Showdown. That said, these are 10 things I wouldn’t…

Video of the Week: Loving Lanka

Loving Lanka Sebastian Linda
[su_vimeo url=”https://vimeo.com/132038125″ width=”300″ height=”200″ autoplay=”yes”] It’s not often these days that I watch a video in stunned silence, completely absorbed by something totally new and original in the travel video world. But this is how I felt watching Sebastian Linda’s Sri Lanka Video, Loving Lanka. As he describes it, he married his girls, quit his job…
