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...

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 →
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 recently took a trip to the Scottish Dark Sky Observatory, in Dalmellington, Ayrshire. Riley’s very into space, so it was one of his birthday gifts from me this year - and a chance for us both to see the night sky in a little more detail. Now, when you live in Scotland, and you...

Keeping with the recent cat theme - I can't believe it's taken me so long to write about this little gem that we visited last year on a trip to Prague. It was our last day in the city, and we were looking for somewhere to go before heading to the airport that afternoon. That's... Continue Reading →
We went to Granite Island on a day trip from the city of Adelaide, South Australia. It's a beautiful rocky island, next to Victor Harbor, accessible via a causeway to the mainland. You can cross to the island on foot, or if you'd rather, take the antique tram which is rather uniquely, pulled by a... Continue Reading →
The City of Angels! I didn't expect to see Los Angeles when I did - or, for that matter, how I did - but it was quite an adventure to explore this famous city last year. Los Angeles is the highest populated city in California, and best known for its bustling entertainment industry. Hollywood, Beverly Hills,... Continue Reading →
