This week my little taste buds kicked of by travelling to Iran, Italy, India, Australia and Turkey. Good one boys! Quite the adventure. I ate out, but in and supported local businesses. I cooked up storms, dined with friends and went on wild goose chases; all of which had the familiar feel of travel. So here is how it all went down. Iran I don’t … Continue reading Around the World in 80 Days [1-7]
Does anyone else feel as if they would like a refund on 2020? “Sorry miss, this year just didn’t suit me, I’d like a full refund thanks.” It’s not you 2020… actually it is, it’s all you, I feel that we are not compatible and I think we should go our separate ways. If you were like me, the beginning of 2020 was looking so … Continue reading Around the World in 80 Days
Why would you do a hiking holiday? Great question… one with many equally great and justifiable answers. For your convenience here are those answers in a dot point list… You stay/get fit: Walking over 30,000 steps a day is great for the legs and the booty. You are getting where you want to go and exercising while you do it. Which leads me to the … Continue reading Solo Solitary Island Coastal Hike
I don’t know if I’ve ever been anywhere so full of aesthetically pleasing patterns and textures. I’m a sucker for a good wall tile, and Porto has plenty. The views were memorable too. I walked, ate, walked, ate and drank … as per normal travel routine. Though this time port was the drink of choice because… well Porto. Yep that’s where it comes from. Walk: … Continue reading Patterns of Porto
Like cartoons? Interested in toilet humour? Then Brussels is calling you home. At fist glance Brussels may appear to be your average city. However, on closer examination you will find the many quirks that makes Brussels a unique and fun-loving place. You get the idea that locals don’t and can’t take themselves too seriously. I’m sure they get a huge kick out of the fact … Continue reading Brussels
I love Bruges!!! Seriously. If ever there were a little gingerbread town to fall in love with, this is it! Sweet delicious waffles, museums dedicated to fries and even a vile of Christ’s blood, all within pleasurable walking distance. A place where there is a chocolate shop on every corner and more beers than you have hairs on your head. Bruges is just so darn … Continue reading Bruges
Have you ever wanted to be a Disney princess? Don’t lie, I know you did… still do. Well Tours (pronounced Tour) has got to be the best place for all of your Cinderelli-singing-animal-happy-ever after dreams to come true! Ok, I don’t want you to be disappointed… I didn’t happen to come across any singing animals that did my laundry while on this trip… but I … Continue reading Tours
Beautiful Bordeaux! A clean and proud city that has charm and class. I went on a bike tour to see the things. Feels as if you could very well bike, book and eat baguettes forever… Or you could also catch the train to St Emillion and learn about wine and limestone and cute villages among the vineyards. Both very tempting. Continue reading Bordeaux
*Insert Ed Sheeran music here* I’m hoping you read the title as you would hear it in Ed Sheeran’s song, cause those are the vibes I get when I think back over my time in Barcelona. So festive, so fun, very Barcelona. While in Barcelona I appreciated architecture. Cooked up some delicious paella. Drank Sangria. Then enjoyed the sunshiny beaches complete with home grown Aussie … Continue reading Barcelona!
Scotland, Wales and the Great Britain itself. Love a solid road trip through the country side. It’s always nice when they speak the same language too… although the Scottish accent is at times undecipherable. From Edinburgh to the Isle of Skye, through to Glasgow, the Lakes region, Snowdonia and Cornwall. There were castles, climbs, hikes, Peter Rabbits, whisky distilleries, scones and a cuppa (or two), … Continue reading UK Road-trip
