27 Nov Visiting Ethiopia: Where To Go And What To Do
We’re not surprised you’re looking to travel to Ethiopia (and we know you will want to after reading this post).

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.

22 Sep Exploring Outdoor Slovenia In Autumn
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...

08 Sep A Day In Athens During The Full Moon Festival
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...
25 Aug Why You Should Pack Your Bags Right Now And Visit Bohemian Switzerland
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. 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...
17 Jun 9 Insta-Worthy Locations In Bodrum, Turkey
If we had to sum up our first impression of Bodrum (the elegant seaside getaway in south-west Turkey) we would have to say: it’s been a really, really, really, really, REALLY pleasant surprise. Our knowledge of Turkey is fairly limited – we visited back in 2015 with some friends, but stuck to the bars and mosques of Istanbul, and only stayed for 4 days. This time, we headed south, to where the Aegean and Mediterranean seas meet, to one of the most picturesque towns we’ve had the pleasure of experiencing. The first thing you notice, is the vast number of luxury resorts positioned along the cliffs and hills. If you’re like us, you will check in to the...

31 Mar 5 Ways To Explore Lisbon, Portugal
We are nearing the end of our four-week trip in Portugal’s eccentric capital, Lisbon, and since it feels like we’ve been testing transport more than anything (and one of the city’s icons is a vehicle), I thought I’d dedicate our post to the various ways you can see it. For those of you who have never been to Lisbon (or have never seen images), the city is filled with tiny little cobbled streets. It has that European charm that you can expect from the EU, but what it also has (unlike some of the bigger inland capitals of Europe) is a coastline – a coastline with bridges, beachy pedestrian zones, and sunsets that delve off into the ocean (like in...
