Truth be told, I’ve never hitch-hiked in my life. Until now in South America (sorry mum!). Like most children from a young age, my sisters and I were drilled with the ‘never get into cars with strangers’ spiel. And for many years those words were etched into my mind. Until of course Uber arrived, and […]
For two weeks now, we’ve been living off-the-grid, as we take part in our first volunteer project with ‘workaway.com’. The platform enables travellers to visit people’s homes and/or organisation’s and volunteer an agreed workload (often 5 hours’ p/day, p/week) in exchange for meals and accommodation. Really, it’s a win:win situation; enabling people to experience local […]
Renowned for its many stunning natural wonders and surreal landscapes, Iceland is an experience like no other. And in the wintertime, it’s just magic. A true winter wonderland that with leave you in awe of mother nature, and wanting to stay forever. Widely known as ‘The Land of Fire and Ice’ with its stunning scenery […]
As I write this entry, I’m sitting around the fire pit in this little slice of paradise, by myself waiting for the others to wake up. It’s almost 9am, the water is (hopefully) not too far from boiling, because.. coffee, and the wind is a little cold on my back. This has been the morning’s […]
I’m writing this post as we take a break from a hard day’s work on our first ‘Work Away’ experience, about an hours’ drive from Bariloche in a tiny village (if even you could say that) called Confluencia Traful, Neuquén. Nestled by the river at the foot of the mountains, in short; this place is […]
Argentina Bus Adventures. To the innocent eye, this lovely green coach (pictured) might look somewhat like a luxury set of wheels, somewhere along the way from Buenos Aires to Bariloche, Patagonia. Truth be told, this is partially correct. It’s indeed, ‘somewhere along the way’ between the east and west coasts of Argentina. In the […]
There is a famous quote by Ibn Battuta, ‘Traveling – it makes you speechless and then turns you into a storyteller’. To travel the world is a privilege. In a perfect world, (after everyone is fed and watered of course), my wish would be that all the souls on Earth had access to this opportunity. […]
With the festive season upon us, many set out on new adventures and holiday travels, escaping the tiresome 9-5 life for the outdoors. With cold beers and Christmas cake mandatory, you might ask, – how do we counteract the ever-elusive donut scale from tipping the weights to the wrong side? With this burden shadowing over our holiday […]
Nestled amongst the bustle of Legerova Street, – a long stretch of road that connects the outskirts of Prague city with the old town and boasts a series of hotels, bars and eateries, lies the most delectable vegetarian culinary experience. Of my life. This little gem is called Etnosvet and it’s an absolute ‘must’ experience […]
I read an article recently that spoke about living your best life. It encouraged thought and reflection of the now, raised questions in recognising and achieving our true potential, and acknowledged that our comparing to others and their journeys, as well the fear of failing, is often the reason that holds us back from our […]
