The Perfect USA Deep South Road Trip Itinerary
One of the trips in the US that we had always wanted to do was a “Deep South” road trip. We think the USA is the perfect country for road tripping in, and we’ve already done a number of road trips here, including iconic Route 66, the Pacific Coast Highway, and the Oregon Trail. The […]
Skiing in the Spanish Pyrenees: A Guide to 5 Resorts Near Barcelona for 2026
I’m a big fan of skiing, even if I haven’t been for a while. So when Jess and I were invited to experience skiing in Spain, specifically the Spanish Pyrenees region near to Barcelona and Girona, naturally we leapt at the chance.

One of Jess’s dreams has always been to travel on the Orient Express on the overnight journey from London to Venice.

Route 66 in Oklahoma: Our Photos and Highlights
Oklahoma has more driveable miles of Route 66 than any other state. Over 400 miles of the Mother Road cut across the state from the northeast corner near Commerce all the way to the Texas border at Texola, and there’s something worth stopping for in practically every town along the way. Drive-in movie theatres, giant […]
8 Highlights of The New Mexico Space Trail
We had the pleasure of road tripping for five weeks around New Mexico in 2016. It’s an absolutely fantastic state, with incredible landscapes, mind-bogglingly tasty food and somehow, very few visitors (or inhabitants!). It is one of Jess’s favourite states; she lived here for a year and grew to absolutely love it and wanted to […]
