A country so beautiful they split it…
A-Z of Travel – K is for Kilimanjaro, L is for Life-Changing, M is for Mountaineering
Forgive me doubling up here, but after extending our weekend away from 2 days to 4 days, I have a lot of catching up to do if I am to finish my A-Z of travel by 31st May! These three letters/words go wonderfully well together, and if you dream about climbing Africa’s highest mountain one…
A-Z of Travel – I is for Italia!
If you love good food, great wines, and gorgeous scenery, there is one holiday destination you shouldn’t miss out on, and that my fellow travellers, is Italy! A land of cosmopolitan cities, idyllic beachside resorts, vast Winelands, and luxurious islands, Italy is every bit as cool and chic as one would imagine it to be,…
A-Z of Travel – H is for Hotel Star Ratings
What would we do without TripAdvisor? A comprehensive online directory of almost every hotel in the world, TripAdvisor provides us with opinions and reviews by ‘real travellers’ who have been there, done that, and definitely have the t-shirt – but can we really trust the source? Reviews are all well and good (my favourite to…

I took my Gap…

It’s long, it’s lithe and it offers a whole list of things to see and do, Chile is the perfect holiday destination for those who appreciate ever-changing landscapes, secluded retreats and fine Chilean wines. An awe-inspiring example of nature’s great splendour and power, Chile sits comfortably between the Andean mountain range and the Pacific Ocean,…
A-Z of Travel – B is for Baggage…
It’s bulky, it’s heavy and if we have too much of it, it can cost us a fortune, but baggage is an important part of travel, and despite having travelled around the world with little more than an oversized backpack, I still struggle to pack light! My first attempt at packing light was for our…
A-Z of Travel – A is for Africa…
Well, I may have missed the A-Z blogging Challenge of April 2013, but a new month brings new ideas, I as we have 26 days left in May (one for each letter of the alphabet), I thought I would challenge myself to write an A-Z on Travel! When I first started blogging back in January…
