Personal Blog
As a full time traveller, I am constantly exploring new destinations and experiencing weird and wonderful encounters and situations. You’ll find the more glossy descriptions and recommendations of each location in my destinations page, but here I share my own personal experiences of the places I visit, including some not so glossy bits. Here’s where I make mistakes that you can learn from, figure out the tips and tricks that I wish I’d read on other blogs, discover hidden gems, and try and test local restaurants to later recommend to my clients, and you. If you want to keep up to date in real time, join my newsletter!
4 Days Enjoying Bosnia and Herzegovina
We didn’t know much about Bosnia and Herzegovina before visiting, and it was a surprisingly lovely trip. I’d love to return and explore more of the country.
A Budget Conscious Week in Istanbul
We planned a week in Istanbul as there’s so much to do. But the prices surprised us! So we just walked and walked and walked the entire city.
Slow Life in Dahab
Dahab is one of those places that keeps you for far longer than you ever intended to stay. Our 3 months here proved a slow life is a good life.
Exploring Cairo and Alexandria
Finally ticking the Great Pyramids of Giza off my bucket list, on an absolutely perfect Cairo trip. Then to Alexandria for good measure.
A Week Cruising the Nile
Cruising the Nile river from Luxor to Aswan is a highlight of any Egypt itinerary, and we were lucky enough to win a 7 night cruise for the price of a standard 2 night one. Here’s what happened on our incredible week on the Nile.
Roadtripping Jordan from Amman to Aqaba
Jordan is a country so completely perfectly suited to renting a car and roadtripping. We spent a week doing just that – here’s what we got up to.
Cruising Across the Atlantic
What better way to get from the Dominican Republic to Italy than a 2 week all inclusive cruise?

We were joined in Lima by Creed’s family for a couple of weeks and headed off on an adventure, at which point everything that could possibly go wrong did.
6 Happy Weeks Living in Lima
We spent the first 6 weeks of 2025 in the Peruvian capital, eating incredibly well, making friends, walking everywhere and making the city our home.
Christmas in Buenos Aires and Uruguay
After a brief hiccough on arrival we had a leisurely and enjoyable Christmas week, followed by a last minute change of plans for the new year.
Cycling Argentina’s Lake District
La Ruta de los Siete Lagos – the Route of the Seven Lakes – is a stunning, adventurous, and not particularly easy 4 day bike ride through Northern Patagonia.

El Chalten is the hiking capital of Argentinian Patagonia, and an unmissable destination. We spent a week and experienced a rollercoaster of highs and lows.
