Stomping through the deep snow with a sound of crunching under feet, it’s like stamping down on empty cardboard boxes. In the distance a mountain range cuts a jagged silhouette over the horizon with a hazy red sunset lingering over the snow covered mountain tops. The ski slopes are deserted and the sun is well […]
We trekked through a blustery gully with a cold wind and rain lashing one side of our faces, it wasn’t too difficult to imagine how hard life for the Romans was in this area. Thanks to English Heritage we had the opportunity to get a glimpse into what life most have been like at Hadrian’s […]
After exploring the Venus Bay area and cruising down quiet country roads, through sleepy little towns I arrived at Venus Bay Eco Retreat. Thankfully the sat nav was spot on this time with locating where I was meant to be heading, as I slowed down I spotted the Eco Retreats large and colourful sign. I […]
When I was younger and first finding my party feet – in four-inch heels, of course – the biggest night of the year was New Year’s Eve. I would spend months planning it, hours getting ready and even longer talking about it. As my hate of aching feet and overpriced nightclubs increased and my love of […]
This is part two of a series about my time spent on Phillip Island, Victoria Australia. You can read Part One to catch up! So far I’d been visiting some well fed pelicans and attempting to surf the waves on Smiths Beach. Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit As if surfing all morning wasn’t enough excitement […]
When asked what my highlight was from my #melbournetouring trip around Victoria, Australia I found myself making a random comparison between pigeons and penguins. My point being that where I live and where I come from the wildlife really isn’t that exotic but right on your doorstep in Victoria you have some truly incredible wildlife. […]
I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to take a road trip from Melbourne out to Phillip Island, Cape Liptrap Coastal Park and Wilson’s Promontory National Park (you can read my #MelbourneTouring itinerary). There was an incredible amount to see in the area and surprisingly close to the city (Phillip Island under a two […]
When I heard about the opportunity to visit Melbourne and the surrounding area I had flashbacks to a road trip I took around six years ago. I remember the stunningly beautiful coastal drive, the landscapes and fascinating wildlife roaming freely. I was keen to visit again but this time as well as discovering what Melbourne […]
To be honest, I didn’t actually know what Benelux was before I went, and it was only at the end of the trip that I had one of those ‘duh’ moments… “‘Be’ Belgium, ‘Ne’ Netherlands, ‘Lux’ Luxembourg!” I cried out, as if I’d just seen two trains passing on the Belgian border and worked out the theory […]
Have you found your sea legs yet? I found mine on a short cruise down the Mediterranean and it didn’t take long. In fact my sea legs were so easy to find I kept forgetting I was at sea. I spent four days aboard the Silver Wind, a small luxury cruise ship run by Silversea […]
I have fond memories of Malaysia from exploring South East Asia when I was a younger, a whole seven years ago! When I was invited to visit the country by Malaysia Airlines those care free memories of travels from yesteryear came flooding back. Traveling often means that I’ve reached that point where I’m always envious […]
For people that love the planes they travel on as much as the destinations they fly to, it is a real shame it’s 2013, and not 1973. There was glamour in air travel back then, glamour that, through the 90’s and in to the 2000’s, thanks to budget airlines, cheap long haul travel and the […]
