Saalbach is a charming ski village in the Austrian Alps with traditional buildings and a river running through it. It is a stunning winter wonderland that boasts over 270 kilometres of ski slopes! I visited Saalbach with one of my closest friends who is from Salzburg. Having only ever skiied in Australia and New Zealand, I was quite the rookie and whilst I think I spent more time crashed out in the snow I still loved every bit of my first ever European Ski holiday…

Here is our pick of things to do in London’s Paddington district.
Whilst Londoners don’t usually sweat through long hot summers, they do get at least a few weeks of wonderful summer sunshine and the occasional heatwave! Once the weather warms up, people become so much happier and you really can experience the best of London! After work drinks spill out into beer gardens, ice cream shops pop up on every corner, rooftop bars and parks become even more appealing, you can BBQ outside and even take a dip in one of London’s pools, lidos or ponds!…
Vivid Sydney is an annual winter festival of light, music and ideas showcasing amazing light sculptures, creative industry forums and a cutting-edge contemporary music program. The most iconic part of Vivid is the illumination of the Sydney Opera House sails!

We made the trip down the Sydney on the Queen’s Birthday Long Weekend and loved exploring the…
We were lucky enough to have a long weekend within the first few months of arriving back in Australia and we tossed up between having a weekend away or spending our long weekend at home. We decided to spend the weekend at home enjoying our beautiful home town, Port Macquarie! Despite how many countries, cities, islands, towns and beaches we’ve visited during our travels, Port Macquarie is still my favourite place in the world. The weather really turned it on for us too with beautiful,…
Last Sunday was the Port Macquarie Beer & Cider Festival and the organisers literally couldn’t have ordered better weather for the day! Set against the gorgeous backdrop of the beautiful Hastings River, Westport Park was transformed into a family friendly festival with the aim to “celebrate all the good things in life; beer, cider, food, games and music” which it certainly did! With the sun shining we made it our mission to (between the three of us) try as many of the fifty different types of…

We decided to book a tour with City Wonders that was a full day tour and visited the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, St…
Edinburgh Castle is without a doubt the most iconic and dominant building in Edinburgh. This historic fortress dominates the skyline of Edinburgh and also provides the most incredible 360° views of the Scottish Capital from its position on the Castle Rock. The castle has an incredible history dating all the way back to at least the Iron Age and has survived through the many wars and battles that Scotland has seen during her time. The Castle is the most impressively built fortress we’ve ever seen…
