Please note that since the time of writing this, Foamhenge has moved location and is now only accessible via Cox Farms in Centreville. In between Shenandoah and Great Smokies National Park is a magical place, built on top of a hill, behind the trees is... Foamhenge. And yes, it is what you think it is; … Continue reading FOAMHENGE | ROADSIDE ADVENTURES | USA ROAD TRIP 2016

MY FIRST EXPERIENCE OF SOLO TRAVEL | THROWBACK THURSDAY
It’s been a while since I have done a throwback Thursday, so I thought I would take a break from my tales of last month in the USA/Canada, and look back on my 2013 trip to America, specifically the portion of it I did by myself. Aka, the return flight home. I had just done … Continue reading MY FIRST EXPERIENCE OF SOLO TRAVEL | THROWBACK THURSDAY
HIKING IN SHENANDOAH NATIONAL PARK | USA ROAD TRIP 2016
After an early morning filled with the excitement of picking up our rental car and entering a land of dinosaurs, you might think it was about time for a rest. Nope, instead we did the exact opposite; after checking in to Skyland and getting changed, we went for a long ol' hike. Rose River Falls … Continue reading HIKING IN SHENANDOAH NATIONAL PARK | USA ROAD TRIP 2016
WASHINGTON DC TO SHENANDOAH NP | USA ROAD TRIP 2016
The fourth day of our trip came around incredibly quickly; we’d spent a solid weekend in DC, and had a lot of fun, but we were ready to pick up the car to hit the road. At 8am sharp we left the hotel, which wasn’t the easiest seeing as we were still marginally jet lagged … Continue reading WASHINGTON DC TO SHENANDOAH NP | USA ROAD TRIP 2016
WE’RE BACK | USA ROAD TRIP 2016
(... That was intended in a non Poltergeist-y voice) Good morning, and a happy Monday to you all on what I hope is a lovely May day wherever you are reading this! The title kind of says it all, but to concur, we are indeed back from our adventures in Canada/America. Aka, we are currently in England. In … Continue reading WE’RE BACK | USA ROAD TRIP 2016
WASHINGTON TO CHICAGO | USA ROAD TRIP 2016
Sorry about the radio silence from us! I am currently sitting in a motel near Detroit, watching TV and living the absolute high life (sarcasm), after a week of hiking, partying, sightseeing, driving, and eating absolutely all of the food, in lovely locations in very lucky weather. I cannot believe how quickly this trip has gone … Continue reading WASHINGTON TO CHICAGO | USA ROAD TRIP 2016
BIKE RIDING IN DC | USA ROAD TRIP 2016
As you may recall me mentioning, our first day of Washington DC did not go quite as expected; there was rain, sleet, hail... All in the space of one bike tour. If you can't quite picture it, don't worry, as we've made a little vlog to go with it. https://youtu.be/EUhrmebRMNw I have a few … Continue reading BIKE RIDING IN DC | USA ROAD TRIP 2016

Then it's on Friday when … Continue reading A FEW UPDATES
THAT TIME MY PICTURE WAS USED IN A TRAVEL ADVERT
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
MY TOP 5 FAVOURITE SKI AREAS
The recent cold and fog has given me some mountain vibes; I've been skiing since I was 5, mostly in Europe and once in America. You could even say skiing is in my blood, I mean it's pretty much the reason for my existence... Without it my parents wouldn't have met whilst in Soll, Austria. … Continue reading MY TOP 5 FAVOURITE SKI AREAS
