As with any good trip, you go with one main mission in mind (in this case – to see the Namaqualand flowers) and you come back having seen and experienced so much more. ...

Our week-long road trip focused on ‘Little Namaqualand’ in the Western and Northern Cape provinces of South Africa, so this guide will share insight about that...

20 Experiences To Add To Your Bucket List Immediately
As originally seen on Traveller24 It’s been a crazy, wild, unforgettable (and slightly unbelievable) journey, travelling full-time for nearly three years. We’ve done some extraordinary things, and we’ve been to places we hadn’t even heard of when we left on our trip in March 2015. But every great journey starts somewhere, and for us, it was our Wanderlist (our own affectionate term for our traveling Bucket List) that turned our “someday” dream into a tangible trip of a lifetime. Back in early 2014 (when traveling around the world was a mere figment of our ambitious imagination), we decided to write down on a piece of paper, all the wonderful dreamy things we’ve always wanted to do (you know, in case we ended...

A Surprise Proposal: He Asked, And I Said Yes
Update: We got married on February 9th, 2020! You can watch our wedding film here and see the full Wedding Series on our blog here. Nothing can quite prepare you for the overwhelming (and beautiful) emotions you experience when the love of your life drops to one knee. If you've grown up interacting with Disney as much as me, and watching luuurve flicks (think The Notebook, Titanic and Twilight) as much as me, and you love LOVE as much as me, there really is nothing better in this world than romance and the day of your proposal (I can probably thank my Mom for making me so soppy too). But seriously. When this magical, birds-tweeting, palms-sweating, crystal-shimmering-lights and secluded-bubble moment finally happens to...

Why You Shouldn’t Visit Iceland In Summer
This is going to be the shortest post I've ever written, because, well, there is really only one reason why you shouldn't visit Iceland in the Summer, and that's because you have a thing against natural beauty; natural beauty that will lure you in and explode beneath your feet, in front of your eyes and completely take your soul; a kind of beauty that will force you to reconsider all future Summer travel plans because you will want to come back again and again and again. Natural beauty that shows off every minute of every day. From the colourful sands of Landmannalaugar, and giant ice blocks at the Jökulsárlón lagoon, to the gushing waterfalls at Skogafoss, Gljúfrabúi and Seljalandsfoss, and miracle waters...

A Romantic Getaway To San Candido, Italy
Our obsession with the Dolomite mountains (and the adorable little town of San Candido) came out of nowhere. Visiting the mountain range was one of the new items we added to our ever-growing wanderlist late last year, after we semi-watched an Austrian show (only semi because we didn't really understand the audio) about the Bears that have been introduced into the area. That, and this beautiful pic we saw on Chris Burkard's Instagram feed, had us wanting to visit, so when we spoke to Anna and her mom at the gorgeous Boutique Hotel Zenana, we knew a trip to San Candido had to happen (and soon). So here we were, catching a scenic 4hr train ride from Salzburg (if we'd left...

A Snowy Road Trip Through Southern Germany
I am going to make you want to visit Southern Germany in Winter. I'm normally quite neutral, sharing our travel stories with a gleam of hope that it'll inspire you to go there too and create your own memories, but I never say "book soon" or "you have to go before you die". Well this post is different. You are going to want to book soon, and I highly recommend you go before you die. Let's begin with this shot I took on the first day of our road trip (probably my favourite photo to date - tough call, I know...

A Quick Stop In Engelberg, Switzerland
Different from our usual just-the-two-of-us trips, we recently took the Topdeck Travel Trail to the Alps tour, for a group travel experience of a lifetime. 18 days, 8 countries, 14 cities, and a group of 29 strangers who have proven that the best part of travel is the people you meet along the way. The next city on our Trail to the Alps tour was Engelberg. If you can imagine a small town with one main street, one cute church, and a dozen wooden lodges found up on mountain completely covered in snow, then you have Engelberg. Cute, cosy and quaint, the lodge we stayed in was the perfect spot to wake up from, and see the Swiss Alps outside our top-floor window. They...
