And we’re back with another round up of photos from the Finding the Universe Facebook page, taking this to edition six. How the time flies. In case you’re new here, we share daily (sometimes more, sometimes less) photos from our travels around the world on our Facebook Page. We then post a monthly-ish round up […]

Doing nothing in Hua Hin at Ploen Terrace
I keep losing Vera. In my defence, it’s not my fault. We’ve spent a couple of weeks living in a three storey serviced apartment here in Thailand, and having multiple living floors is terribly confusing. Ok, so it’s not too confusing. More confusing is picking which of the three bathrooms to use. (We’ve settled on […]
The unknown treasures of Eastern Europe
Despite having spent a great deal of time travelling around Europe, my trails have never taken me to Eastern Europe, other than a quick city break in Prague. So when Chloe contacted me asking if I’d host a post on Croatia, in Eastern Europe, naturally I was interested. Read on to find out why this […]
Northern Thailand by Instagram
I love Instagram. Since it became available for Android in early 2012 I’ve been really enjoying the way it lets me share photos of the moments that happen around me in near real-time. I also find the square format to be fun to work with, and find it fascinating what you can achieve with a […]
2012 in review – the photo edition
Having looked back at 2012 and ahead to 2013 already,, I thought you might to take a look at our year that was in the medium of photos, with one photo representing each month. This was our first year based in France, so we naturally did a fair bit of exploring in our region around […]
The street art of Barcelona
Barcelona is a city with a lot to offer. We’ve visited a number of times, and always feel that we have so much left to see. Although that’s no bad thing – a return journey to Barcelona is always going to be a pleasure! During our time in Barcelona we’ve seen all kinds of art, […]
The friendliness of the Thai people (& a hostel review)
Before I came out to to Thailand, I was informed on more than one occasion that the Thai people are known for their friendliness. I even hosted a whole photo essay from a fellow blogger all about Thailand being the land of smiles. But third party information is only worth so much. I needed to […]
What to Do in Ayutthaya
If I was going to ask you where the largest city in the world was in the year 1600, I wonder where you might suggest. London? Paris? Beijing? Cairo? I’m going to guess that the city of Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya (or simply Ayutthaya), might not have made your shortlist. Well, in the year 1600, […]
The Black Temple of Chiang Rai
I recently shared with you my experience of visiting the White Temple in Chiang Rai – a fantastical location reminiscent of something Gaudi or Dali might have been happy to have their names associated with. There is another, slightly less visited and more off the beaten path arty type temple in Chiang Rai – the […]
