Ella is a charming, laid-back town in Sri Lanka’s hill-country. It is said to be the closest thing to an English countryside and once you head up into the hills, you’ll find the Ella that is written about in all of the guidebooks. Ella has the most beautiful scenery of all the places we visited in Sri Lanka and we spent a short two days walking through tea plantations and hiking up mountains, relaxing in our jungle tree-house, enjoying delicious home-cooked food and drinking countless…
I’m a huge Harry Potter fan… just like 99% of the population. I’ve seen the movies more times than I can count, I’ve read the books so many times they literally fell apart, I’ve drank butterbeer on two continents and I know way too much about the characters, the books and the films. My travels over the years have taken me to a large number of places that either served as inspiration for the films or as actual film sets! A few days ago we…
One of our favourite ways to explore a new destination and get to know it is through food!

Living in the UK was an experience I’ll never forget and despite the seemingly constant…

We had planned the most incredible trip throughout the year, saved like crazy and finally a few days after Christmas flew out to Thailand to begin our travels through Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia. Unfortunately things didn’t quite go to plan for me and I’ve recently teamed up with Southern Cross Travel Insurance to share my story and reiterate the…
