Cotopaxi National Park was on my list of places to visit in Ecuador, but sadly when I visited the park was closed as Cotopaxi volcano was erupting! I will have to save it for the next time I visit. Until then, I asked Eran Hayoun from Gulliver’s Expeditions to share his favourite ways to experience […]
I’d already been to Berlin a couple of months before, but I came back to the city for the travel exhibition ITB Berlin in March. The last time I had just snapped a couple of photos of the tallest building in Berlin, the Berlin TV Tower or “Fernsehturm”, but this time I was going to […]
Unfortunately, Belize is one of the most expensive countries to visit in Central America, probably due to it being an ex-British colony, and popular with American and Canadian expats and visitors which has helped to push up prices. However, if you are backpacking Belize on a budget, then don’t worry – there are still plenty […]
Antigua Guatemala is a gorgeous town, filled with beautiful buildings and indigenous culture, and surrounded by volcanoes. Agua Volcano towers about the town, Fuego Volcano spews smoke and lava, Acatenango is a tough hike with glorious views of Fuego, and Pacaya Volcano is still live but a gentler hike. I was in two minds about […]
Venezuela was the one country I didn’t expect to visit in South America. Back in 2016, I had the chance to go, and despite my fears about safety in Venezuela, I decided to risk it. I was lucky to spend some time with my friend in Caracas, where I would not have gone had she […]
Gin is hot in Barcelona. Restaurants and bars all over the city are serving up beautiful gin and tonics, in bucket-like goblets to be devoured by willing punters. And now you can even make your own gin in Barcelona. My friend Brian and his business partner Pablo have developed their own gin distilling business, Corpen […]
I am not very sporty, I admit. I hate the gym, I don’t play well with others, and I only run if something is chasing me. But I do like to try new things like scuba diving. So, when Planet Surf Camps invited me to try out surfing lessons for a week at their surf […]
Viñales was my favourite place in Cuba. A tiny town in the middle of green fields, brown tobacco plantations and towering rock formations in the Viñales Valley, Viñales had a calmness and tranquillity I needed after Havana and Trinidad. Not that Viñales was boring though, far from it! There are plenty of things to do […]
Maybe it’s me. Maybe I have spectacularly bad taste in men. Or maybe it’s because I travel. Apparently, finding love as a solo female traveller is pretty damn hard. All my friends back home are married with kids, or at least settled down with a cat or two, and I’ve been single for the past […]
For any kind of travel abroad you will need certain documents to allow you to cross the border and enter the new country. Other useful documents aren’t required by law, but will certainly be useful and give you peace of mind if you want to travel safely. I hate paperwork, I find it dull and […]
