Train travel was the most luxurious way to travel in the past and over the last few years, it has made a resurgence and no matter where your destination there are sure to be a choice of luxurious train journeys on offer. Never before has there been so many companies promising to pamper you through some of the most remote, exotic, romantic and beautiful landscapes. Dan and I have fallen in love with train travel over the last few years with our favourites being the…
At the beginning of December Dan and I headed down to Melbourne for our anniversary! We had thrown a lot of ideas around about where to do, and didn’t know where could possibly top our previous anniversary getaways of Paris and Switzerland! A few weeks before our anniversary we learned that JETGO Australia had launched direct flights from Port Macquarie to Melbourne’s Essendon Airport! I’d only visited Melbourne once on a girls weekend when I was at University and Dan had never been so we…
We very quickly fell in love with Paros and loved exploring this gorgeous island in depth during our time there. We both love road trips and so we teamed up with AutoParos to find the very best beaches, villages and hot spots of Paros. Paros has everything, it has beautiful sandy beaches, charming villages, traditional Cycladic architecture and incredible landscapes. We explored far and wide and can’t wait to share our favourite parts of the island! We hired our car through AutoParos Car Rental who picked…
We’re currently travelling through the Balkans on a fairly tight and busy schedule and we really like to fit as much in as possible in each destination. When it came time to travel from Budva to Sarajevo we were a little stuck as there was very limited public transport options and they were very, very long journeys which would take up a lot of our precious travel time. As we were researching all our options we discovered Kiwitaxi, a company that offers private transfers all over the world…
After an amazing 24 hours in Venice we were finally heading to a new country after three weeks in Italy! Slovenia was our next port of call and we have an amazing week lined up full of adventures in the Green Capital of Europe! We’ll be visiting Ljubljana and Lake Bled during our time in Slovenia and as much as we’d love to spend more than a week we’ve got a fairly jam packed schedule and can’t wait to see and do as much as…
We fell in love with the Amalfi Coast when we visited in 2014 and so when we had the chance to return recently we jumped at the opportunity! Every town in the region is unique and beautiful and whilst you could spend months exploring all the beautiful places along the coast many people only manage to visit for a few days and so in order to maximise your time in the region it is essential to know how to get around the coast. There’s plenty…
We’ve just finished the most INCREDIBLE week campervanning through Portugal with Soul Campers. We’ve had loads of questions about our itinerary as well as the logistics of a campervan holiday and so we wanted to share our experiences on the road in order to hopefully inspire others to get out there and hit the open road on their very own campervan holiday. Portugal is such a beautiful country that is well worth adding to your bucket list if it is not already on it and…
Portugal is without a doubt one of the most underrated destinations in the world and during our recent trip there we fell in love with the country, the people, the food & wine, the scenery and everything about this magnificent country. For such a small country, Portugal is incredibly diverse and we were extremely lucky to experience quite a large part of Portugal during our campervan trip with Soul Campers. We were given some incredible tips and advice by friends before we left and by…
One of our favourite ways to experience a new country is by hiring a car and exploring at our own pace. We love the freedom and flexibility that we get from a car as we have the ability to get off the beaten track and see as much as possible. It has been a long time since our last road trip which was around the West Coast of Ireland in May with my parents who were visiting from Australia. We visited Switzerland for our anniversary…
One of the highlights of our trip to Switzerland was visiting the Jungfraujoch – Top of Europe! We took an incredible train journey from Grindelwald all the way to the highest railway station in Europe which is located 3,454 metres above sea level! It was a beautiful, scenic train ride and an incredible experience to be standing at the Top of Europe! It was a wonderful experience and despite not having great visibility at the top due to the weather we still had an amazing…
