22 Jun The Most Important Piece Of Technology We Own
We often get Instagram DMs from fellow travellers (or not-yet-traveling peers) who ask us about our cameras, our kits, and what equipment we use when hopping between countries, four bags in tow. We’ll normally respond with a very detailed message, explaining the camera equipment we’ve chosen to upgrade to, the lenses we now have in our artillery, and the apps we’ve purchased for our laptops…but we don’t often mention our iPhones, and today’s post will be entirely dedicated to this – the most important piece of technology we own. As two full-time traveling creatives (who quit their ad jobs back in early 2015), we cannot stress enough how our phones are our lifelines. We use them to create –...
14 Jun Reasons Why Couples And Families Are Loving Bali
If we had to list all the reasons why couples and families fall in love with Bali, then we’d probably never finish this blog post. It seems that more and more people (of all ages) are choosing to travel to (and live in) this Indonesian beauty, and we’re certainly not blaming them. The exotic weather, delicious food, wonderful blue skies, ample sunlight, and that laid back atmosphere are just a few reasons (we still can’t get those amazing three weeks we spent on the island back in 2017 out of our minds), but let’s take a closer look at why Bali is the go-to travel destination for many couples and families, shall we? Bali is sunny throughout the year...
28 Mar Don’t Let These Excuses Stop You From Travelling
Many of us dream about travelling and seeing the world, but very few of us actually do it. Oh sure, we might find the time to go abroad one or two weeks a year for a short-term vacation, but we are talking about something a little more long-term…like a month away from home, or six months, or even longer than a year. But here’s the thing. Most of us will come up with some sort of excuse as to why we can’t go travelling (a few popular ones you can see below in this post). Many of these excuses are good ones; in all honesty, we can’t all go travelling at the drop of a hat. But in some cases,...
12 Dec 10 Experiences In Dubai Perfect For Nature Lovers
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…and...
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). 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.

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 –...
27 Oct The Charm Of Fall Foliage In Vermont
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...

26 May Malta: Cliffs, Caves, And Crystal Waters
When we landed in our 49th country, we weren’t entirely sure what to expect. Malta, the unassuming archipelago, is perfectly situated in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, just 130km (80 miles) south of Italy’s largest island, Sicily, and 450km (300 miles) off the coast of Tunisia in Northern Africa. A little research was done ahead of our trip (naturally), so we knew that English was widely spoken (bonus), and folks drive on the left hand side – great similarities to our own home country, fellow member of the British Commonwealth, South Africa. We also heard about the amazing food – being so close to Italy, it was really no surprise. But no matter how much research you do on...
