Leaving the quiet mountains of the north behind, we travelled south and it immediately felt like a different Albania. Where the north was mostly peaceful, raw and unspoiled, the south is busy, built-up and already shaped heavily by tourism. To be honest, we haven’t enjoyed it quite as much. There’s beauty here, for sure, but…

Albania 🇦🇱 In recent years, Albania has quietly become one of Europe’s most exciting and affordable destinations. With its dazzling coastline, wild mountains, historic villages and buzzing cities, it offers a mix of experiences that still feel authentic and unspoiled by mass tourism. The people are incredibly welcoming and there’s a real sense of discovering…

Marrakech is a city like no other. Nestled in the heart of Morocco, it’s an enticing and eclectic destination that dazzles with every step. Prepare for your senses to be well and truly slapped.  This place will dazzle, frazzle, and enchant you all at once.  It’s loud, chaotic and utterly intoxicating and I kind of…

We rented a car for some of our Moroccan adventure, as there were too many places we wanted to see at our own pace. But after the chaos we witnessed on the streets of Marrakech, we were slightly apprehensive. Driving here felt like an extreme sport  dodging mopeds, weaving between pedestrians, swerving past donkeys, cats,…

After years of talking about it, we finally did it, we summited Mount Toubkal, or Jebel Toubkal if your feeling fancy.  Standing proud at 4,167 metres, this is the highest peak in the Atlas Mountains, North Africa and the Arab world.  Not our highest mountain to date but certainly still a memorable achievement and on…

With most of the weekend already accounted for, we set off late on Saturday once again, this time bound for Glen Spean, where we tucked ourselves into the van for a quick overnight stop. Sunday’s goal: the two remote Munros of Beinn Teallach and Beinn a’ Chaorainn. Making the most of the dry spell we’ve…

With a busy weekend of other commitments, we didn’t hit the road until late Saturday night, making it just outside Fort William before parking up for the night in the van. The plan was simple – squeeze in a Highland adventure before the Monday routine called us back. Sunday morning, we headed to the quiet…

We spent a long weekend immersed in the wild beauty of the Scottish Highlands, basing ourselves in the remote and magical setting of Rannoch. There’s something timeless about the drive in here and meeting the end of the road.  From here on in there are no roads, just wilderness and the promise of adventure. We…

From Narvik to Henningsvær: A Stormy April Arrival in the Arctic Touching down at Narvik Airport in April, we were officially in the Arctic Circle—a place where nature doesn’t just surround you, it engulfs you. The wind was sharp, the air crisp, and the sky an ever-changing mix of brooding clouds. Snow still clung to…

Copenhagen during Christmas is nothing short of magical. The city transforms into a winter wonderland with its twinkling lights, festive markets, cobblestone streets and cosy atmosphere. Our long weekend was packed with unforgettable experiences, from sipping mulled wine by the canals to venturing into  neighbouring Sweden. Exploring Copenhagen’s Christmas Magic our adventure began with a…
