There weren’t very many times on our two month trip where we decided to just pay for an Uber, but leaving Tallinn for Riga was one of them. Not only had we stuffed up our suitcase wheels on the cobblestone roads, but we just couldn’t face trekking up the hill and trying to find the …

After spending a night in the Swedish wilderness without a shower, or a proper toilet (think long drop toilet with a polystyrene toilet seat cover), we couldn’t have appreciated our small cabin with en-suite bathroom on the ferry from Stockholm to Tallinn any more than we did. We even checked in early, so that there …

One thing I haven’t mentioned about train travel in Europe, is how stressful it can be. Most of the times on our journey, we tried to get to the station at least 20 to 30 minutes before the train was due to leave, just in case. This didn’t always work out though. Especially when we …

Booking a last minute trip anywhere has always been a dream of mine and not something I’ve ever done, until two weeks ago. I just decided on a Friday morning while sitting staring at my emails that I wanted to spend the weekend in the middle of nowhere just being quiet and enjoying my boyfriends …
It’s not often that I’m surprised by a night away, but when Luch and I decided to travel down to Umhlanga; he managed to do just that by booking us a one night stay in the Drakensberg. I’d never heard of the place we were staying, but he assured me that it had gotten great …
In October 2018, we decided that we needed to get away. Even if it was just for the night, and close to home, it would be worth it. I’m always reading Getaway Magazine for ideas of unique accommodation and had come across an article about 12 off the grid destinations around South Africa. One of …
I don’t know about you, but I feel like this year has really gone by incredibly fast and I could barely keep up. Sometimes it was incredibly shit and the days would drag by, but other days were amazing and I got to experience things that I’d never thought I’d get a chance to experience …
I can’t tell you how excited I was to visit Vic Falls again, especially getting to see it through the eyes of my partner who has always wanted to travel there. We were both so keen to start off our day of activities, that we were up super early and bouncing around the room. At …
