Madeira, Portugal. A tiny cluster of volcanic islands in the Atlantic Ocean, with dramatic cliffs, stunning landscapes and a sub-tropical climate, Madeira is a brilliant place to come and explore. We had a few days on the main island and being only 35 miles long and 13 miles wide, we managed a large loop with…
Millionaire’s Playground
Monaco. This tiny micro state is the the richest country in the world with 1/3 of it’s residents being millionaires. With a sports car on every corner and the parade of super yachts at the harbor, it’s hard not to notice the supreme wealth here, and certainly no one is trying to hide it. Located…
Into Auschwitz
Krakow, Poland. This city in the south of the country shares similarities with it’s close neighbour Prague, only with less tourists and cheaper prices! Krakow has the largest medieval market square in Europe and lots of interesting things to see and do. The popular tours of Auschwitz run from the city centre being only an…
In The Basque Country
Bilbao, Spain. Another great Spanish city on the northern coast of the country, mainly famous for the magnificent Guggenheim Museum, come here for an art filled weekend. See all my photo highlights from our trip below.
City of Music
Vienna, Austria. Previously home to Mozart, Beethoven and more famous composers than any other city in the world, Vienna is packed full of history. Visiting on my 27th birthday, I enjoyed cake in the prestigious Café Central, ice skating outside the impressive city hall and exploring the magnificent interiors of numerous museums and churches like…
Czech Yourself
Prague, Czech Republic. A cultural centre of Europe, this capital city has a rich history. Not having been rebuilt like most European capital cities during the 18th or 19th centuries, the diverse mix of architectural styles remains in tact and is the largest urban area on the UNESCO world heritage list. We came here in…
Walking on a Glacier
Reykjavik, Iceland. If you’re looking for a budget friendly holiday, look elsewhere! I feel like the first thing I have to warn everyone about if planning a trip to Iceland is the extortionate prices! And I’m not exaggerating. Top of our itinerary was an early morning glacier walk on the east side of the island….
The Jurassic Coast
Dorset, England. Who knew that such a beautiful place existed right on our doorstep! A fairly short 3 hour drive from London and we hit the coast. If you live in the UK or even if you don’t, hiking up the cliffs of this dramatic coastline and then walking along the beach collecting ancient fossils,…
London to Edinburgh Cycle
Edinburgh, Scotland. After a realisation that we had been to so many different countries around the world but had hardly seen our own, we started putting plans together for another epic cycle! This time staying right here in the UK, starting in London, heading north through a variety of towns and cities and timed perfectly…
Eastern European Road Trip
Zagreb, Croatia was the start and end point for our road trip. We saved looking around the city to our return visit so picked the car straight up from the airport and hit the road. Our itinerary: Croatia: Zagreb -> Split -> Dubrovnik, then over to Kotor in Montenegro, up into Bosnia & Herzegovina: Mostar…
The City of Seven Hills
Lisbon, Portugal. One of the oldest European cities and famous for standing on seven hills (actually eight), the most striking thing about Lisbon is the steep and narrow cobbled streets in every direction. At the bottom of the hills there are layers of houses stacked up all around you, and at the top, fantastic views…
Driving in Tuscany
Tuscany, Italy, was the main feature of our Italian road trip but we also explored the surrounding areas including the beautiful Cinque Terre, See my favourite photos of our trip below.
