RIGA | DAY 6 | BALTIC ROAD TRIP

If you have been following this Baltic road trip, you may have noticed that Hamilton and I started in Riga - no, I haven't lost my mind and written the wrong city in the title; we also finished here. Flights were a lot cheaper and worked out better schedule wise, plus its there was no … Continue reading RIGA | DAY 6 | BALTIC ROAD TRIP

PARNU | DAY 5 | BALTIC ROAD TRIP

After a few stressful days of drinking, walking in beautiful countryside and meandering around lovely cities, we really needed a break and some time to relax; to just get away from it all. So we headed to Parnu, where we had booked a spa resort hotel. RESORT HOTEL AND SPA ESTONIA I jest. We genuinely … Continue reading PARNU | DAY 5 | BALTIC ROAD TRIP

TALLINN | DAY 4 | BALTIC ROAD TRIP

After a long day of walking,  we drove into central Tallinn for a meander around the old town. We were incredibly lucky with the weather - cold but not too cold for a wander. Even the bursts of rain timed themselves perfectly, appearing only as we went inside. OLD TOWN Its exceptionally pretty and really … Continue reading TALLINN | DAY 4 | BALTIC ROAD TRIP

WALKING IN ESTONIA| DAY 3 | BALTIC ROAD TRIP

And on the third day, our two faithful heroes woke up in their dollhouse style apartment in Tartu, ready for a day of bog walking in multiple locations around Estonia. They would like every day to be like this because it was a very special one. A very special one indeed. For real though, this … Continue reading WALKING IN ESTONIA| DAY 3 | BALTIC ROAD TRIP

TARTU | DAY 2 | BALTIC ROAD TRIP

AM. DAY TWO. RIGA. We made it to breakfast nice and early ready to get our butts on the road. Firstly though, we had to pick up a car. Otherwise this road trip would have taken a hell of a lot longer. Hamilton was driving because his birthday is before mine, meaning he is slightly … Continue reading TARTU | DAY 2 | BALTIC ROAD TRIP

TORONTO | THE BREAK UP VLOG | USA/CANADIAN ROAD TRIP

Happy Valentines Day! In response to my lack of love for this day, here is a video where my friends and I "break up".  Our last two days in Toronto were amazing. They were rainy and we did A LOT of walking, but they were our last two days together as a group on this … Continue reading TORONTO | THE BREAK UP VLOG | USA/CANADIAN ROAD TRIP

A DAY IN SEATTLE | RUNNING AROUND IN DRESSING GOWNS | CANADIAN ROAD TRIP 2016

MOTIF SEATTLE After a long, dark bus ride involving a super fun stop off at the US border (my fourth of this trip), we made it to Seattle safe and sound where we jumped in a cab for the short journey to our hotel. We stayed at the Motif Seattle, which now has to be … Continue reading A DAY IN SEATTLE | RUNNING AROUND IN DRESSING GOWNS | CANADIAN ROAD TRIP 2016

KAMLOOPS TO VANCOUVER | ROCKY MOUNTAINEER | CANADIAN ROAD TRIP 2016

This was very much an exciting day; our last one on the Rocky Mountaineer, to our penultimate destination of the trip (Vancouver) where we were going to my Great Aunt's house for the first time.    We slept fairly well in Kamloops, but I always find that whenever I have to wake up early it hinders me being … Continue reading KAMLOOPS TO VANCOUVER | ROCKY MOUNTAINEER | CANADIAN ROAD TRIP 2016

LAKE LOUISE TO KAMLOOPS | ROCKY MOUNTAINEER | CANADIAN ROAD TRIP 2016

Part of the reason I had wanted to do a complete cross country journey, was to travel over the Rocky Mountains. What better way to do it, than by train?   https://www.instagram.com/p/BE4ts7SELXl/?taken-by=travelteatv   We woke up bright and early in our hotel, The Lake Louise Inn, got ourselves up and ready, then simply walked outside … Continue reading LAKE LOUISE TO KAMLOOPS | ROCKY MOUNTAINEER | CANADIAN ROAD TRIP 2016

HIKING IN LAKE LOUISE | WAIST DEEP IN SNOW | CANADIAN ROAD TRIP 2016

With a slight scent of horses still about us, we grabbed a cab (much to the surprise of our hotel reception) up to Lake Louise from Banff, which was more hair raising than expected...  Number 136. So, apparently it's rare for people to take a taxi from Banff to Lake Louise. I'm still not 100 percent … Continue reading HIKING IN LAKE LOUISE | WAIST DEEP IN SNOW | CANADIAN ROAD TRIP 2016
