Luggage is a necessary investment for travellers, and I won’t lie: whenever I need to buy a new suitcase, I always find it hard to choose what would be best. I recently tried out one of Level8’s hard-shell suitcases on a big trip around Canada, and I’ve just returned home so it’s time to report …
Well, 2025. I made it my mission to have a quieter year, and you know what………………. it didn’t work. And for once, it wasn’t even travel that kept me busy; nor was it even entirely my fault. Between a few trips within Scotland and the UK, we had weddings, anniversary parties, and lots and lots …
As summer looms, overtourism is hitting headlines once again with protests taking place in particularly affected cities. I’ve been thinking a lot about our impact on the places that we travel to, and especially as bloggers who are writing about our experiences and in turn promoting these places. Ten years ago, when travel blogs were …
I’ve spent the past couple of years visiting a lot of European cities, adding to an ever-growing list that I’ve been working through for years before that. From history and culture to food and architecture, as well as quirky pubs and unique attractions, cities around Europe have endless fun to offer. Best of all, most …
“Extreme day trips” seem to be all the rage in the UK and Europe at the moment, with Facebook groups popping up for people to share their crazy adventures. I’m no stranger to the concept of extreme day trips – back in 2012, I took a day trip to Munich, and the following year another …
Guys… I’m gonna be straight with you. 2024 has been a LOT. Too much, in fact. I set out intending to have a slower year, and instead I’ve been going a million miles an hour and haven’t stopped. My downfall was deciding that I’m on a mission. I realised last year that I actually didn’t …
After the madness of 2022, I think 2023 needed to be a quieter year. Anyone who knows me will be well aware that that’s a challenge for me, and you will soon find out that I failed the challenge exceptionally. From having a couple of trips planned throughout the year, to suddenly having loads of …
There has been much furore and debate on travel Twitter this week after a scathing article on the New Yorker caused a stir. In case you missed it, you can read it here. Grab a cuppa, then come back to read my take on it. I get why the article was written and I get …
2022 has been quite a year. What started out with a single booked trip which was cancelled on my birthday, 2022 ended up being one of our most travelled years yet (non-continuous travels, at least). I’ve been to 11 countries, which I think is my most in a single year, plus we finally ticked off …
Whoa, it’s been a while, hasn’t it? Two entire months, in fact, since I graced your presence with one of my delightful blog posts. In that time, I have been… busy. If you follow me on social media, you’ll probably know slightly more about what I’ve been up to! We finally went on our African …
