All throughout lockdown, I was jonesing for one type of trip in particular: a camping trip. I just wanted to park up near a loch or the bottom of a mountain and take our tent into the middle of nowhere and just be away from it all. I’ve always been a “west coast is best …
After more than three months in lockdown, Scotland finally lifted their five mile travel limit at the beginning of July. Naturally, the first day we could go out, we went straight out to nature, and subsequently spent four weekends in a row roaring our way around some of Scotland’s hidden gems and underrated sites. If …
It took me a long, long time to go through all our photos from Canada when we got home in 2018. Six months, in fact. This is because we took over 120 photos of the Icefields Parkway ALONE. Not the lakes that we stopped at; just the mountains as we drove through this epic part …
A few months ago, my friend and I set off on a week-long adventure around Scotland, with a focus on the famous North Coast 500 route. We were doing it all on a budget, which meant taking my car and camping in a tent as we went. Luckily, camping in Scotland is made even easier …
When we started planning our North Coast 500 trip, I knew we needed to make a detour over to Skye. After all, I’ve lived in Scotland (on and off) for 30 years… …and had NEVER been there!! When people plan a trip to Scotland, it’s as if there are only two destinations here: Edinburgh and …
A few months ago, my friend and I set off on a week-long adventure around Scotland. My friend had wanted to do the North Coast 500 road trip; and being that she had never been to Scotland outside of Edinburgh, I wanted to make sure we hit up some of the highlights of my beautiful …
“I can’t believe how many mountains there are in Scotland!” my friend squealed as we turned another corner to yet another amazing view. The North Coast 500 had blown both of us away – my friend, because she hadn’t visited Scotland outside of Edinburgh and had no idea how beautiful it all is; and me, …
It has to be said that Seattle isn’t my favourite city – which is why it may come as a surprise that I am writing a THIRD blog post about it (though with a title like that, I’m sure you can understand why). One thing I do really like about Seattle is its neighbourhoods – …
We didn’t really have any plans between Yellowstone and Vancouver. It was mostly going to be a couple of days of just driving and stopping wherever we fancied. One place dropped onto my radar though, thanks to my friend Anirudh over at Beyond Our Horizons – the adorable little town of Leavenworth, not far outside …
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 …
