Qatar / 18.11.2018

Look out Dubai, there’s a new shiny penny in the proverbial town, and it boasts just as much glam and desert deluxe. Let us introduce you to Qatar. During a recent visit to the hand-palm-shaped country in the Persian Gulf, we explored like little puppies who’ve just been let out onto grass for the first time (you know how much we love doing that). We ventured north, south, east, and west (also saw the art piece East-West/West-East whilst there), and we have a jam- (and pic-) packed post for you, so that you’re well prepared for Qatar, whether you’re heading there for the World Cup in 2022, or sooner. 31 Things To Know Before Traveling To Qatar 1. If you’re from one of...

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...

Greece / 08.09.2018

This was not our first time in Athens. Those who have been reading our blog since the beginning will remember our trip back in 2015 when we attended a big, fat Greek wedding and marvelled at the open-air museum that is Athens. Now, almost exactly three years later, we’ve returned, but for a slightly different evening extravaganza – the August Full Moon Festival. If you've never heard of the Full Moon Festival in Athens, you should know that several museums and archaeological sites around the city open their doors to the public free of charge in the evening, with extended opening hours until midnight. The Greeks are a romantic people, so viewing some of the world's most ancient human creations under the full...

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...

Kenya / 11.08.2018

This past week has been a wild, unpredictable, and unequivocally adventurous ride! If you follow us on Instagram, you would’ve been part of (arguably) our biggest trip yet, as we flew in a hot air balloon, danced with the Maasai Tribe, and did a whole bunch of other typically-Kenyan things in our #CanYouKenya trip with the Kenya tourism board and the team from Expedia. If you haven’t been following along on our InstaStories (firstly, why on Earth not?!) you might not know what we’re talking about, so let us shed some light...

Brazil / 07.07.2018

It’s always daunting for me to write a blog post about a city that’s been admired, and written about, as much as the city of Rio De Janeiro has been. It was the same when I tried to share our New York experience. It’s difficult to top the writings that already exist. What I can do, however, is praise the city in my own words and in my own way, because it’s not often we get genuinely sad and upset (to the point where we have to give ourselves a little pep talk saying, “It’ll be ok...
