Snowdonia

Snowdonia, Wales. With our American road trip postponed once again due to the pandemic, we all found ourselves with time off work in the diary but no planned place to go. Last minute searching, this time a bit closer to home, we found ourselves drawn to North Wales with it’s dramatic landscapes and group activities…

Skye’s The Limit

The Isle of Skye, Scotland. This has been on my list of places to visit for a long time and what better time to do it than a global pandemic! With a much quieter than usual tourist scene and without the need for all the pre-departure and arrival Covid testing (like we’d experienced on our…

Bavarian Alps

Bavaria, Germany. Every trip we’ve managed to go on this year since the pandemic started has felt even more special than usual and brought a new found appreciation for what we’ve been able to do in the years before and none more so than when we landed in Munich to begin our weekend road trip…

Gorges du Verdon

Marseille, France. Inspired by some amazing photos we’d seen in a coffee table travel book by Lonely Planet that I’d been gifted, we made plans to visit and see this beautiful place with our own eyes. Packed into another weekend trip, we did our all too familiar routine, heading to the airport straight from work…

Camping in the Desert

Jordan. We had a brief stop over in the capital city Amman but at the first opportunity, hit the road to see the real reasons you would come to Jordan, camping under the stars in the Wadi Rum desert, floating in the dead sea and the spectacular city of Petra.

High Tatras

Bratislava, Slovakia. Knowing this is a very small European capital city and not much time is needed to see “everything”, we wasted no time, got up uncomfortably early, met up with some friends and jumped straight into our rental car to undertake the long 3 and a half hour scenic drive to the High Tatras…

On Top of Etna

Sicily, Italy. Another long weekend road trip around Europe, and in this beautiful part of the world we were able to fit in lots of different towns along the way each with their own unique charm. We flew into Catania airport on the eastern side of the island and picked up our set of wheels,…

It’s All Greek To Me

Athens, Greece. After a 3 and a half hour flight we found ourselves in this wonderful city. We had been given warning to expect dirty and polluted streets but were pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness and greenery all around. We did find some rather littered areas when you get very central but not much worse…

You Better Belize It

Belize, Central America. We started our journey by renting a big American 4×4 pick up truck, which at first did not seem appealing but after the first turning off the main highway it turned out to be a god send! The roads in Belize, I’m not sure can be described as roads, more like clearings…

Pearl of the Atlantic

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…
