There are many places around the UK that I have completely overlooked. It’s not that I don’t want to spend time in my home country – far from it; look at how much I explore Scotland. But truthfully, it takes time to explore the UK. Cornwall is a nine hour drive from us, and we …
This year has been all about the scenic landscapes of the UK – Skye, the Outer Hebrides, the Lake District, and finally, we made it to Wales to check out whether Snowdonia National Park really is as beautiful as the rest of them. Spoiler alert: it is. Snowdonia is home to Mount Snowdon, the highest …
It’s National Park Week over in the USA – and with the exception of a couple of pretty awesome cities, the national parks are my absolute favourite thing about America. Sadly nobody can visit the national parks at the moment, but I wanted to do a round up of the ones I’ve been to – …
You may remember that we very nearly didn’t make it to Yellowstone at all. Well, it almost happened again – when we were right outside. Considering we were now completely in off-season, we had hit lucky for almost all of our road trip, from missing a snow storm in the Canadian Rockies, to having absolutely …
We continued our trip north through Utah, passing through charming desert towns like Mexican Hat, and close to more canyons like the Canyonlands, as we meandered towards the unassuming Utah hotspot, Moab. Monument Valley had marked the end of our semi-organised schedule that we’d mostly kept to on the road trip so far, and now …
It’s been a while since I’ve done a photo post – but Utah is so full of photogenic spots that this one was always on the cards. Plus there are plenty of places we saw or passed that haven’t made it into other blog posts. Utah is one of my favourite US states. Sometimes I …
It was pitch black, and we were cooking sausages on a broken barbeque and failing absolutely miserably when it happened. We were camping a few miles south of the Grand Canyon, our next stop on the Great American Road Trip, and the place was deserted save for a couple of parked up campervans. “Hey guys, …
Just over ten years ago, I made my first visit to Zion National Park and managed to miss out on the famed Angel’s Landing hike. We had a few options for hiking, and after hearing that one of them would be a four hour hike with lots of terrifying drops and chains, my friend and …
Yosemite National Park has always been one of those places that I’ve really wanted to visit for as long as I can remember hearing of it, but in reality I actually had no idea what to expect because I’d never researched it. So while I knew we were going to be in for some beautiful …
I’m always excited to visit Banff. It might help that I have some awesome family there, but Banff in itself is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful destinations in the world, so I’m lucky to have excuses to visit often (if 3 times in 12 years counts as often). But on this trip, we’d be …
