Paraty is not just a quaint little colonial town, but it is nestled in between among jungle-y mountains and close to some incredible beaches. One of the funnest excursions of my trip was a short bus ride out of town to a natural water slide- Cachoeira do Tobaga. You get off at this cute church … More A jungle slide and mud bath: Paraty adventures (Brazil)
When someone mentions visiting Brazil, I think most immediately conjure up images of the frenetic, wild, magnificent, spectacular Rio – the chaos, colour, samba, and spice. However, just a few hours west, there is a charming treasure to explore: Paraty (pronounced para-chee). Paraty is a quiet colonial town, a UNESCO world heritage site which captures … More The cutest colonial town: Paraty, Brazil
I arrived in the stunning São Paulo early in the morning. Very in need of a shower and a nap after the 11.5hr flight, I was not able to check into my hotel, so went out in search of coffee and a working adaptor for my electronics. I was successful in finding an adorable brunch … More Some pics of São Paulo
After my evening soaking in the Drangsnes hot pots, I jumped into my rental car to take on an epic road trip through the Westfjords! The entire time in Iceland, we experienced the constantly changing weather, but never had it been to this extreme. There were big blue skies, fluffy clouds, snow storms, hail, thick fog, … More Every season and all the weather on an endless and beautiful drive: Westfjords
My besties Lisa & Andrew are currently on a grand traveling adventure (Instagram: AL’s big adventure).

Because I am … More Antigua, Guatemala
Diving in Malaysia was the first time “out of the nest” – the dive crew and environment that I had grown so fond of at Diver’s Den and on the Great Barrier Reef during my open water course and live-aboard time. I knew from that experience that I had fallen hard for diving, so knowing … More Drift diving and dancing with a turtle: Rawa Island, Malaysia
I was taken by what Singapore had to offer during the day, but in my opinion, Singapore is a city that sparkles when the sun goes down. The SuperGrove of trees, part of the Gardens by the Bay are one of the most iconic sight in Singapore, and these high-tech “trees” are best enjoyed at … More Singapore by night
I landed in Singapore on a steamy hot day in late-October. I (unfortunately) didn’t take full advantage of the legendary airport, but I was excited to see what this city had to offer. It was immediately obvious that Singapore was an interesting mix of cultures – Asian with a distinctly European feel, reflecting a long … More Singapore by day
From the moment I stepped off the plane and Bangkok walloped every sense with intensity, I knew this would be a place like none I had ever experienced. I had taken the red-eye from London and was rolling into my hostel shortly after 8am. After stashing my bags at my hostel and making a new friend … More The flavour of contrast: Bangkok
I needed to get out of the city as things were feeling a bit too much in the city. I got the perfect excuse when a coworker invited me to spend some time at her summer house in Småland. Deciding the distance was a bit too far to cover by bike, and wanting the flexibility … More Roadtripping through Småland
