The beautiful city of Stockholm is spread across 14 islands and more than 50 bridges on an archipelago in the Baltic Sea. The Old Town, Gamla Stan with its cobblestoned streets and ochre coloured buildings is the stuff of fairytales! Gamla Stan is one of Europe’s most magical and well preserved historic centres complete with a charming Royal Palace, the 13th century Storykyrkan Cathedral and the Nobel Museum. Stockholm is expensive, has short, cold days in winter but has friendly locals, delicious cuisine and seemingly…
With the majority of Australia’s most essential experiences dotting the beautiful coastline, it’s no surprise that a lot of travellers head to the water to see all Australia has to offer. We fell in love with sailing when we sailed around Croatia and spent a week sailing the Turkish coastline on a luxury gulet! I mean, is there honestly a better way to travel? Sailing is a timeless hobby and skill that offers a lifetime of adventure and relaxation. One of our future goals and…
Israel is the Mediterranean country you never dreamed of visiting. The Mediterranean stretches further than the European mainland, reaching the African and Middle-Eastern coasts. Tel Aviv boasts long sandy beaches, over 300 days of sunshine, the oldest port in the world, a thriving nightlife and amazing cuisine! We’re really excited to be heading to Israel this September and here are our top reasons why you also need to visit Tel Aviv this year!
There’s no doubt about it, New Zealand is a country made for road tripping. There are few places on earth that are as extraordinarily beautiful, with a range of different natural and man-made sights to visit and explore. While some may opt for a coach tour, having your own car offers you the freedom to explore at your own pace. Want to stop at one of the secluded little beaches for a quick dip, or perhaps make a detour to one of the vineyards to…
Helsinki, the capital of Finland is the most northern capital city in mainland Europe (being beaten out for the top spot by only Reykjavik in Iceland)! It’s one of the coldest cities in Europe in winter and while some people thought we were crazy for visiting, we fell in love with the snowy city! We visited in the depths of winter, in the middle of January and yes it was cold, but it was also incredibly beautiful. We had a wonderful time wandering around in…
A visit to Medieval York is like stepping back in the middle ages! We visited York for the first time on our recent trip to the UK with my parents and we spent a short but sweet 24 hours exploring as much of this magical city as we could! York has so much to offer and we really only managed to scratch the surface. We loved exploring the extensive city walls, picturesque overhanging timber houses of The Shambles and the magnificent Gothic cathedral, York Minster.…
The Hooker Valley Track is without a doubt New Zealand’s prettiest day hike. A lot of hikes in New Zealand require you to commit to a few days, whereas the Hooker Valley Track is just a few short hours of walking through some of the most beautiful scenery you would have ever seen! The hike leads through the Hooker Valley, along the Hooker River and ends at the glacial Hooker Lake, with Mount Cook towering in the distance.

We recently got back from Iceland and had the absolute time of our lives. Despite being well and truly on the tourist trail, Iceland completely exceeded all of our expectations. It is the most unique, rugged and naturally beautiful place we’ve ever travelled to. We spent eight nights exploring the west and south of Iceland in our trusty hire car from SADcars. Our final stop was Reyjkavik with Dan and I flying onto Copenhagen to start the next leg of our trip and mum and…
Today we fly to Sydney! We’re saying goodbye to Aussie summer and jumping on a plane to Europe! Over the next five weeks we’re going to be spending Christmas in England, New Years in Scotland and exploring Iceland, Scandinvania and the Baltic’s! It’s going to be cold but we are so excited, especially as winter is one of our favourite times to travel because there is less people! Here’s a snippet of what we’ve got planned! Fingers crossed for lots of snow!
