A Whisky Tour From Edinburgh: Our Experience and What to Expect
During our time living in Scotland we have taken a number of tours of whisky distilleries, all around the country.

2 Weeks In Thailand: A Detailed Thailand Itinerary and Trip Planner
I’ve travelled extensively in Thailand, and it’s easily one of my favourite countries in Asia – the friendly people, the excellent food, the relaxed vibe all make for a fantastic country to travel in. I’ve written a great deal on Thailand already, but haven’t put together a suggested Thailand itinerary post, as I’ve done for […]
A Four Day Sri Lanka Tour
We were in Sri Lanka recently for a brief trip. We did want to spend a bit of time exploring, particularly as Jess hadn’t visited before, but we only had four full days to tour, so had to be pretty focused on what we wanted to see. As a tea lover, Jess was keen to […]

Airbnb’s fees have crept up steadily, and the platform has lost […]
2 Days in London: A Complete Itinerary from Someone Who Lived There
I lived in central London for a couple of years, and Jess and I have been back more times than I can count since. If you handed me a pen right now and told me to sketch out two days in London for a first-time visitor, I’d have it drafted before the kettle boiled. That’s […]
Route 66 in New Mexico: Our Photos, Stops and Tips
I have to admit, New Mexico was slightly vexing. I was very excited to visit, not least because I had been led to believe that the state has spectacular sunsets. We even had a whole song on our Route 66 playlist dedicated to the things. As it was, we were not fortunate with the weather, […]
2 Days in Normandy: The D-Day Landing Beaches & Mont St. Michel
Despite living in France for three years, I didn’t do much sight seeing. So when the opportunity arose to spend 2 days in Normandy, visiting Mont St. Michel and the D-Day Landing beaches in the north-west of the country, we leapt at it. We didn’t have a great deal of time to play with as […]
