    Dubai / 12.12.2018

    If you’re like us (and 99.9999% of the population of the world) shiny skyscrapers and busy city bustle will be the first thing that pops into your mind when you hear “Dubai”. And rightfully so. Dubai is a global city and the business hub of the Middle East – of course it’s going to offer anything and everything you may ever want and need from a metropolis. But what about outdoor lovers like us? Can they…or shall I say “we”, get what we want from the most populous Emirate in the UAE?     Well, during our recent trip to Dubai with The Luxury Collection, we were able to satisfy our nature-loving souls more than we thought we would have...

    Ethiopia / 01.12.2018

    If you read our last post on Ethiopia, you might already be planning your adventure there (and if that is indeed the case, then that is bloody marvellous – pop us a mail if you have any questions ahead of your trip, and don't forget to check out the Sheraton Addis if you're looking for the ultimate Ethiopian base to travel from.) If, however, you’re more of a Travel For Experiences type, and it’s less about the full itinerary to try and see as much as possible in the least amount of time, then let us share with you seven bucket-list-worthy experiences you should definitely travel to Ethiopia for. Disclaimer: we’ve only done four of the seven, but hey, like we...

    Ethiopia / 27.11.2018

    We’re not surprised you’re looking to travel to Ethiopia (and we know you will want to after reading this post). Africa is still fairly undiscovered, and being so close to Europe, Ethiopia’s an easy choice for someone looking for the true African experience, some adventure, and an overload of colourful, foreign culture and customs. But where does one begin with planning a trip to the largest country in the Horn of Africa? Well, after an exhilarating week working with The Luxury Collection, we can safely say that we’re going to have you covered from start to finish, and we’re going to answer all your questions about where to go and what to do. Shall we begin?   Visiting Ethiopia – Where To Go...

    Finland / 30.10.2018

    With Winter fast approaching the northern hemisphere (and our love for Helsinki still as strong as the day we left it), we thought we’d do a fun comparison of things to do in the Winter months vs the Summer months. In case you were considering a quick break there this Winter (or you’re already scoping out locations for your Summer break in 2019), fear not – we have some of the best experiences outlined right here. So sit back, take a big sip out of that Moomin mug you hold dear to you, and let’s get into it:   Winter vs Summer – The Best Experiences In Helsinki   Let’s begin with the chilly months… Ice Dips and Warm Saunas - What To Do In Winter Saunas...

    Vermont / 27.10.2018

    If you’ve ever wondered what time of year to visit Vermont, let us come right out and say that it HAS to be Autumn. The white steeples of the chapels and churches are popping in the charming towns of Manchester and Burlington, in perfect contrast to the nature show of burnt orange and red. The temperature is dropping, coating the Green Mountains with blankets of fog. Wafts of apple cider and maple syrup (ALL the maple syrup) fill the air around the cute stops on the side of the road (which are all dressed up for the Halloween festivities). Does it get any more quaint (or picturesque) than that?     Renting a car should be mandatory, because there’s really no better way...

    Jordan / 16.10.2018

    As you may have seen over on our Instagram lately, we’ve been singing atop the mountains (and inside the valleys) of Jordan, aka Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. With the number of gorgeous pictures of Jordan all over the Internet, we’re not at all surprised that you’re reading this post, inspired to go, and planning your very own Jordanian adventure.     Well, to you we say: boil that shai, tie that shemagh over your head, and sit back as we share our week-long itinerary so that you can experience the best of Jordan in just one week:   One Week In Jordan – How To Experience Everything In Just Seven Days   DAY 1 - ONE WEEK IN JORDAN Depending on where you’re flying from, you will more...

    Slovenia / 22.09.2018

    Thank you Columbia for sponsoring this post. While this was a sponsored opportunity from Columbia, please note that all content and opinions expressed here about Slovenia are our own (we wouldn’t have it any other way). You can read our full Online Privacy Policy here.   So here we are, writing about our 52nd country. FIFTY. SECOND. COUNTRY. That’s like saying we’ve visited a different country every week for an entire year. It’s madness. …and in the same shocking and jaw-dropping way, Slovenia (the aforementioned 52nd country), blew our minds. Who knew you could throw so much natural beauty into such a small little space (ok, 20,000km2 isn’t really small…but compared to some other countries, one could say Slovenia is a little compact).     As this...

    Czechia / 25.08.2018

    Ah, Bohemian Switzerland. The name itself sounds quite sexy – a blend of trendy boho chic mixed with European class. Well yes, that’s what you can expect, but it’s not entirely what you might think.   [embed]https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iJuCKoyI4cY[/embed]   For starters, the region is not in Switzerland. No. This part of northern Czech Republic, affectionately known as Bohemian Switzerland, owes its name to two famous Swiss painters from the 18th Century, Adrian Zingg and Anton Graff. They frequented northern Bohemia (one of Czech Republic’s largest regions, followed by Moravia and Silesia), and created some beautiful art, which, you guessed it, reminded them of their own Swiss landscape, and for no other reason, the name stuck. Most people visiting Czech Republic will head straight for Prague (and...
