After spending a glorious evening at the Little Petra Bedouin Camp, we headed back to Petra, this time through the “back” way, following our new guide, Moh. While I was mesmerised by Petra, when we had explored the previous day, I was completely captivated by our hike through the desert and rocks to get to … More Wandering through the wilderness: Petra through the back
It’s been a while since I have shared a “my favourite things” post (like my top 5 travel luxuries), so as I sit in Gatwick waiting for my lightly-delayed flight, I figured I would share a few of the items that made their way into my bag when I am out and about. 1. Bamboo … More 5 +1 travel heros: A few “must haves” for travel
While I tried to spend as much of myvacation as possible underwater, but apparently stuff exists on land as well. I know. I was surprised too. Historic placesSo much delicious food Charming night markets and lights on the water
Norway is blessed with some of the most pristine and remarkable wilderness I have ever seen. The best way to see the best Norway has to offer is to take a boat out onto the fjords. In my opinion, it would be an egregious error if you visited Tromsø and did not explore the arctic fjords. … More Oh my fjord! Norway at it’s most spectacular
From the moment my ferry arrived at Ilha Grande, I understood why people leave their lives, sell their house, give away their shoe collection, and move to a tropical island. It is simply paradise here – where the simplest moments are perfect. Ilha Grande is a 2.5 hour drive from Rio but could not be more … More Island paradise: Ilha Grande, Brazil

Paraty is a quiet colonial town, a UNESCO world heritage site which captures … More The cutest colonial town: Paraty, Brazil
One of the best things about living in London is that with a few pounds and a spare weekend, you can explore a new city. So with our tiny carry-on bags, Lisa and I jumped on a Ryanair flight and a few hours later, were wandering the (very cold) streets of Riga. Below is mostly … More A weekend in Riga, Latvia
Fresh back from a trip with my bag still filled with clothes in need of laundering, I was lazing around the lounge with my flatmates, despairing about the impending season of cold, grey London days that stretched out ahead of us. In short order, I found myself booking Eurostar tickets for an autumnal Parisian escape. … More A sun-drenched autumnal weekend in Paris
We decided to rent a car and scoot around the island. It was a fabulous decision, because we could check out pretty rocks, olive groves, and idyllic coasts. Here were some of my favourite moments. 1. Cape Drastis On the north-west corner of the island, you can find a stunning collection of tiny islands, sculpted … More 5 breathtaking moments in Corfu (and a few bonus pics)
Diving in Corfu One of the things that drew me to Greece was the crystal clear waters and the promise of amazing dives. Showing up at the end of March/beginning of April, which was the beginning of dive season, meant most dive operations weren’t in operation yet. However, but I got in contact with Dmitri … More Diving and donkeys, Corfu Greece
