Barcelona is vast and beautiful, there’s so much to see, and I’m impressed at those who manage to cram everything in to only a couple of days! But it can be done - I was there for almost a week, mixing spending a little time at the hotel to relax with exploring. However most of... Continue Reading →
Our road trip to Death Valley was a slightly scary one. Think: middle of a desert, baking heat, no phone signal, and off-road tracks through a mountain range. We also had no idea where we were, or how long the road in front of us stretched for. And we had to reach Las Vegas in... Continue Reading →
This salt flat in California is by far one of the most interesting places I've visited so far. Badwater Basin, located in Death Valley National Park, is a a closed basin with a depth of 86m (262ft) below sea level. This is the lowest point in North America, and it was considered to be the...

Let me start by saying: travelling with your partner is an absolute must in your relationship if you can. Whether it's a month backpacking in Indonesia, or four days in Berlin, you should expose your relationship to the tests and revelations of travel. Riley and I started travelling together very early on in our relationship... Continue Reading →
The highlight of our stay this year in Garmisch-Partenkirchen came in the form of an unconquered mountain. Unconquered to me that is - Riley had scaled it twice before and I made it halfway up last year. The first time we tried to climb this mountain together, we made it as far as the grassy...

Garmisch-Partenkirchen (or GaPa, as it's known by locals), in Bavaria, Germany, has many wonderful places located around the town. The most enchanting find for us however, were the horses we discovered - halfway up a mountain. Since we spent a great deal of time in the mountain glade with the horses, I've dedicated a post...

I should say, the best place to stay that Riley and I have found so far, however, that title is far less effective as clickbait. Riley has been to many places in the south of Germany, we've visited a few together (more to come in the future, no doubt) but there is one place that has... Continue Reading →
Partnach Gorge (Partnachklamm in German) is a must-see destination on a visit to Garmisch-Partenkirchen - you could even make it a day trip from Munich! We tried to visit the gorge last year on our winter visit to Bavaria, and despite it being closed due to avalanches, we still climbed over part of it. We made the visit... Continue Reading →
Last month, we went back to Bavaria, Germany, and enjoyed some hiking time amongst some of the most stunning mountains and lakes you could clap eyes on. I've composed a little photo-diary of what we did on our first stop on this trip. The last time I was in Bavaria was March 2018, and we... Continue Reading →
We all know booking flights can be stressful. Getting the right flight can mean the difference between starting your trip off right, or creating a living nightmare that would threaten to put you off flying altogether. Whilst we can't guarantee ourselves a flight with no screaming children in the seat behind, or the person next... Continue Reading →
