    Peru / 14.08.2017

    As originally seen on huffingtonpost.com   There are some places on this magical planet that leave your jaw on the ground, whilst you drag it along like an old car dragging a broken bumper. The Maras Salt Ponds, located in the ancient Inca Sacred Valley in Peru (we are happy to say) is one of these such places.   [embed]https://www.instagram.com/p/BW-Ep9qnvad/?taken-by=howfarfromhome[/embed]   As our regular readers know, we have traveled to 41 countries over the past two and a half years, and we’ve been fortunate enough to pick up our jaws off the floor, at least a few times. Our trip to Namibia comes to mind, the waterfalls of Iceland had us drooling too, and the Benagil cave in Portugal was beyond anything we could imagine. This time,...

    Denmark, Food / 02.08.2017

    We've partnered up with global bike-sharing system Donkey Republic, and flight and accommodation search engine Momondo, to explore some of Europe's most esteemed cities, hoping to prove that anywhere, anything, with anyone, at anytime, is simply a bike ride away…oh, and that there’s no better way to explore a city than on two wheels. Follow along in what we have affectionately called our #TourDeDonkey. Our first stop: Copenhagen, Denmark The mission: Find the best cuisine   Often coined as the "food capital of Scandinavia", it was no surprise to us that our friends at Donkey Republic made food the theme for our tour of Copenhagen. But wanting to make this a bicycle food tour like no other, we decided to put some rules in...

    South Africa / 14.06.2017

    Appropriated from the original post seen on Traveller24.com   “Good things come to those who wait.” “The longer you wait, the better it gets.” [INSERT ANY OTHER DEEP WAITING-IS-GOOD QUOTE HERE] We have all heard these words. They’ve been quoted and re-quoted throughout our lives. Our parents, well-respected elders, esteemed banks trying to sell us an investment plan, and, well, anyone on Pinterest who collects inspirational quotes, has undoubtedly tried to convince us that indeed, ‘good things come to those who wait’. But in an age of instant gratification, one-click orders, and speedy pick-up and drop-off services like Uber, it is getting harder and harder to justify waiting for anything. So why, in this era, would we even consider waiting an entire year*, to spend five...

    Japan / 08.05.2017

    Bright and bold Pagodas, sakura-inspired cotton candy, Shrines and Temples with exuberant beauty, taller-than-tall-skyscraper bamboo forests, a city led by tradition. Kyoto was everything we wanted it to be and more. [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZNsnhJHem8[/embed] Now let me begin by saying that Japan has been high on our “must visit list” (aka our Wanderlist) since day zero. Six items on our list are dedicated to Japan, and we thankfully ticked off four during our week-long visit to this ancient city, so you can already see where this post is going…YES, WE ARE IN LOVE WITH JAPAN. SO MUCH SO THAT I FELT THE NEED TO USE CAPS TO REALLY HIGHLIGHT THE FACT THAT WE ARE IN LOVE WITH IT. HOPE THAT'S COMING ACROSS CLEARY. Strategically we chose...

    Cambodia, Wellness / 19.04.2017

    Our motto and motivation is to “collect experiences, not things”. Whilst on our journey, we’re aiming to spend our time and money on spectacular experiences, to be left with incredible learnings and memories, not tangible objects. This way, we’re sure to keep our lives light without additional luggage, but also be the change we want to see in the world. Our next featured experience is a visit to Angkor Wat in Cambodia.   There's places in this world you hear about, and you think that you'll probably never get to visit them. Angkor Wat, the world's largest religious monument, was one such place for me. Of course I'd heard about it in travel magazines, travel blogs, and from friends who had visited South East...

    Vietnam / 13.03.2017

    If you're like us (and not the majority, who will rent a motorbike and ride down Vietnam's coastline à la Top Gear style), you'll fly into what feels like Vietnam's Las Vegas (aka Danang aka boulevards of luxurious resorts), and take a quick 30-min taxi ride to the centre of Hoi An. Let me warn you - your image of Vietnam...

    Indonesia / 23.02.2017

    There's few places in the world that are synonymous with paradise; pure, uninhabited, postcard-perfect paradise. If you say "Bali" to pretty much anyone, visions of sultry jungle-like resorts, crystal blue waters and endless cocktail menus (and/or yoga studios) come to mind. To some (mostly those stressed and tired of hustling city living), this is the perfect paradise. We mentioned earlier this week that there's mainly two ways to travel through Bali - either on the cheap (which we did for a few weeks) or you travel through Bali the way you'd travel if you were on an endless honeymoon, lounging around in exquisite villas, enjoying the ultimate me-time, down-time and sexy-time. We were fortunate enough to visit five of Bali's most Instagrammable...
