After two incredible weeks in Portugal we jumped on a plane to Barcelona where we were greeted by sunshine, beaches, sangria, tapas, Gaudi and much more! Barcelona is a gorgeous city and I honestly don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say that they didn’t like it and now we can see why! We had an incredible five days exploring the city and its many sites and here are our many highlights and tips to make the most of your time in this fabulous, cosmopolitan, sunny…
After we sadly dropped off our Soul Campers campervan after an incredible week exploring the Algarve and West Coast regions of Portugal we headed north on the train to Portugal’s capital city, Lisbon! We had done very little research on Lisbon before we arrived and so didn’t know what to expect but had an amazing four days exploring this fantastic city! Our days were filled with sightseeing, getting lost in the windy cobblestoned streets of the old town, indulging in excellent food and strolling the…
Portugal is an incredibly diverse and beautiful country and during our recent campervan adventures with Soul Campers we explored a great deal of the East and West Algarve regions as well as the West Coast and Alentejo National Park. We’ve detailed all our adventures and travel tips in our recent blog posts but as Portugal is so beautifully photogenic we managed to take thousands of photos and so wanted to finish off with one final post with some of our favourite photos from our time…
We recently spent a week with Soul Campers exploring Portugal’s beautiful coastline and spent the majority of our time in the Algarve, Portugal’s most southern region. The Algarve is alluring and we fell in love over and over again with this beautiful region. We flew into Faro from the UK and were collected from the airport by our transfer company, hoppa who are a fantastic transfer company that we highly recommend if you’re visiting the region. We then started our trip in the Eastern part of the Algarve…
Scotland is known for its breathtaking natural beauty and on our recent trip we were lucky enough to experience true Scottish hospitality, encounter incredible wildlife and explore one of the most naturally beautiful countries in the world. We spent a week exploring Edinburgh and the Scottish Highlands and fell head over heels in love with the rugged, remote and naturally stunning Highland region which is a destination that should be on everyone’s bucket list. We were also lucky enough to experience an incredible Log Cabin…
Scotland was the last country in the UK I had left to visit and I had quite high expectations given the incredible reviews I’d heard from friends and family who had visited before me. Dan and I spent a week exploring the beautiful Scottish Highlands and their many diverse landscapes. Scotland is a country of natural beauty, endless freshwater lochs, magical glens, charming castles with extensive histories and evergreen forests with soaring snowcapped mountains in every direction. The Scottish Highlands were everything and more I’d…
Switzerland is without doubt one of the most natural, breathtakingly beautiful countries in the world. We spent our second anniversary exploring this gorgeous country in November and were lucky enough to arrive for the first heavy snowfall of the season! We absolutely fell in love with Grindelwald and the Jungfrau region, visited the Jungfraujoch Top of Europe attraction and ate our weight in cheese fondue and chocolate whilst exploring beautiful lakeside Lucerne. We loved Switzerland so much that we altered our 2016 European travels so…
Whilst researching our holiday to Italy’s Amalfi Coast we stumbled across a hike called the Il Sentiero degli Dei which is also known as the Path of the Gods. Spending a day hiking the Path of the Gods is truly one of the best ways to experience the breathtaking natural beauty of the Amalfi Coast, something that everyone needs to see during their lifetime. The Path of the Gods was a highlight of our trip to Italy and we loved the physical challenge of hiking…
After visiting the true city of love, Paris for our first anniversary we decided on naturally beautiful country of Switzerland for our second anniversary. After falling in love with Grindelwald in the Swiss Alps we then headed to the lovely city of Lucerne. I visited Lucerne on my Contiki tour in 2009 and had good memories of it so we decided to visit it together! Lucerne is such a lovely city that has so much character, lovely buildings and a wonderful atmosphere in addition to…
Last May my parents came to visit us from Australia. Their visit was just in time to mark my first year in the UK and I couldn’t have been more over the moon when they told us they’d booked tickets! It was their first time in the UK and Dan’s first time meeting them, so a pretty big moment for all of us! We decided the best way to break the ice was to book tickets for us all to go to Ireland for a…
