Well, the title pretty much says it all with this one, but nonetheless, I shall explain; in 2013 I did the Americana Road Trip tour with Trek America. As part of that trip, we went to Monument Valley, where this photograph was taken: Trek America asked for people to send in pictures from their … Continue reading THAT TIME MY PICTURE WAS USED IN A TRAVEL ADVERT

CHEERS 2015
Happy New Year ('s Eve)! We've already talked about the highs and the lows in the last couple of days, so I thought today might be a good day to show you via our brand new YouTube channel. It truly has been an amazing year in travel for me - road tripping Croatia and Scotland, city … Continue reading CHEERS 2015
BEST TRAVEL MOMENTS 2015
After yesterday's post you might be wondering if pessimism has got the better of us. Thankfully, it's quite the opposite; 2015 has been pretty damn good to our little circle. To prove it we got together to discuss the BEST moments in our 2015 travels: Hamilton When I was in a small village in the Austrian alps, … Continue reading BEST TRAVEL MOMENTS 2015
WORST TRAVEL MOMENTS 2015
With this year coming to a close; Christmas over, and 2016 rapidly encroaching, we decided it was time to reflect on the highs and lows of 2015. When asked 'Do you want the good news first, or the bad news?' it's customary to say bad news first. Hence, we're posting our worst moments of 2015 before … Continue reading WORST TRAVEL MOMENTS 2015
CADILLAC RANCH | AMARILLO | MUST VISIT
In the summer of 2013, whilst road tripping America, we pulled off of Route 66 and stopped to visit the world famous 'Cadillac Ranch'. An art installation (literally) consisting of 6 Cadillacs buried into the Texan dirt. They've moved since their initial burials, and been vandalised and spray painted over and over, and are a … Continue reading CADILLAC RANCH | AMARILLO | MUST VISIT
END OF THE ROAD | EDINBURGH | SCOTTISH ROAD TRIP
Our two final nights were spent in the unique and charming city of Edinburgh. I'd always wanted to go and in all honesty had no idea how to go about planning our time there. The rest of our road trip in Scotland was mostly spent in rural areas, so I knew a city would … Continue reading END OF THE ROAD | EDINBURGH | SCOTTISH ROAD TRIP
NORTHERN LIGHTS | JOHN O’GROATS | SCOTTISH ROAD TRIP
In an earlier blog post, I mentioned my bucket list... Our time at John O'Groats managed to tick off two wishes. Not bad going for a town with a population of only about 300. The drive from Skye was a looonggg one. I think it took about 7/8 hours? There is a slightly shorter route, … Continue reading NORTHERN LIGHTS | JOHN O’GROATS | SCOTTISH ROAD TRIP
FAIRY POOLS | ISLE OF SKYE | SCOTTISH ROAD TRIP
We woke up in Invergarry to yet another beautiful day. I haven't actually mentioned it, but my god we were lucky with the weather. The hike at Glen Nevis was another day of clear blue skies and bright sunshine, and after what we'd been repeatedly told, ("It always rains in Fort William") we figured it … Continue reading FAIRY POOLS | ISLE OF SKYE | SCOTTISH ROAD TRIP
HIKING IN THE HIGHLANDS | GLEN NEVIS | SCOTTISH ROAD TRIP
Isn't alliteration amazing. Anyway, after our late night escapades in Galloway, we were glad to be out on the open road and on our way to the good old fashioned great outdoors. My Mum loves waterfalls, so we decided our next stop on the trip would be Glen Nevis, to walk up to Steall Falls. It takes … Continue reading HIKING IN THE HIGHLANDS | GLEN NEVIS | SCOTTISH ROAD TRIP
STARGAZING | GALLOWAY | SCOTTISH ROAD TRIP
Last month, I went on an ever so slight Bucket List trip... Road tripping around Scotland. I've been to Scotland before, on holiday to Dundee but that had nothing on this. I come from Southern England, so travelling up to Scotland is a bit of a mission. Nonetheless, I'm sure Americans/Australians would tell me it's nothing! It supposedly … Continue reading STARGAZING | GALLOWAY | SCOTTISH ROAD TRIP
