Travel in general can be unpredictable and you just never know how your trip will turn out, that's the beauty of it. And for the more spontaneous ones it’s the part of travel that we love most. Though if you have ever considered more than just a few days away, planning for long term travel is whole other kettle of fish. ...
We FINALLY made it to Mexico! And what a meet-and-greet it’s been – over a week exploring the gorgeous Mexican Caribbean with the Expedia team. Sitting on Mexico's east coast, it’s home to the city of Cancún, town of Playa Del Carmen, and the widely different islands of Isla Mujeres and Cozumel (along with many other cute and charming towns, of course). There’s activities for all kinds of travellers, and since some of the most important Mayan ruins are dotted all over the region, it’s a very important historical location too, offering you a glimpse into the incredible Mayan culture.

New York is (as POTUS puts it) “HUUUUGE” and there is no shortage of things to do. If you love food, New York can offer you any kind of cuisine your taste buds desire; if you love night life, there are shiny bars and clubs around every corner; if you love the performing arts, well, the city currently has forty-one Broadway theatres, so take your pick; and if you love sightseeing, there is certainly no shortage of things to see and explore. But with so much to see and do, NYC can be daunting as a first- or even second-time visitor, which is why we’re here to help you create the ultimate New York itinerary. We’ve been fortunate enough to visit...
Going on an extended trip is a rewarding experience. Sure, vacations are fun, but visiting a place for two weeks or less doesn’t always give you the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the culture of a particular destination – you always find yourself wanting more. How many times have you come home from an exciting trip and desperately wanted to head back out into the world to explore more of it? Yeah? We hear you. Exploring the world is definitely a worthwhile venture, but it’s one that takes real preparation. The following pieces of advice should help you to ensure that you’re prepared to explore the world, whether you plan on going for three months, one year, or like us, close...
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...
If you read our last post on Ethiopia, you might already be planning your adventure there (and if that is indeed the case, then that is bloody marvellous – pop us a mail if you have any questions ahead of your trip, and don't forget to check out the Sheraton Addis if you're looking for the ultimate Ethiopian base to travel from.) If, however, you’re more of a Travel For Experiences type, and it’s less about the full itinerary to try and see as much as possible in the least amount of time, then let us share with you seven bucket-list-worthy experiences you should definitely travel to Ethiopia for. Disclaimer: we’ve only done four of the seven, but hey, like we...
So you are planning on going on a vacation, and would like to plan your getaway to remember for life. Well, there are SO many places waiting to be discovered, and it is not easy to pick the right location for your passion, travel style, and budget (especially with the vast number of inspiring travel accounts on Instagram, constantly making you question your next vacay). In case you need some inspiration and guidance on getting started, below you will find a few tips to help make those vacation plans become a reality, sooner than you would expect them to. The Climate You will, of course, have to consider the climate before you go. If you are a fan of tropical weather, chances...
As originally seen on Bored Panda Every year around mid-April, The Netherlands is transformed into a technicolor wonderland, as millions of tulips bloom all at once. The Dutch are known for many things, but their tulips have become a worldwide phenomenon (which is also funny to note, because the tulip originally grew in the Middle East and was brought over to The Netherlands by some Turkish Sultans several hundred years ago). As sniffing tulips is part of our Wanderlist, we set out to capture all the colour during our recent week-long Dutch excursion. We ventured into the world-famous Keukenhof gardens (originally built in 1641 as a garden for the Keukenhof Castle) – not too far from Amsterdam – which today is home...
As a regular reader of our blog, you’re familiar with our love for life-changing experiences. You know we left our predictable life over 3 years ago, in order to see the world and collect a whole bunch of memorable experiences. You also know we’ll do anything to tick off the items from our Wanderlist. If you’re not a regular reader, and you didn’t know all that, then welcome to the first of many posts about our desire to collect memories and not things. We thought it only be right to begin this blog post with that intro, because, well, we will tell you right now that attending the festival of colours a.k.a. Holi, in the mystical land of dreams (that celebrates...
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...
