Not too far from Glasgow and Edinburgh in Scotland is a moss-covered, 100ft deep gorge with an almost ruby-coloured river flowing through it. This is Finnich Glen, better known as the Devil’s Pulpit, and it’s one of the most photogenic spots in Scotland. You might recognise it from TV’s Outlander (it’s the Liar’s Spring), or […]

North Coast 500: Highlights of Scotland’s Epic Road Trip
Spanning a fabulous 500 miles around Scotland’s northern coast, the relatively recently launched North Coast 500 road trip is already being lauded as one of the world’s finest drives. As we’re huge fans of road trips, and this one is practically in our back yard, naturally Jess and I took the opportunity to hit the […]
Banksy in Bristol + Lots More Bristol Street Art Locations!
Jess and I currently live near Bristol. Naturally we’ve written about the area, and have put together a post detailing our favourite things to do in Bristol, as well as a detailed guide to attending the Bristol Balloon Fiesta. In this post though, we’re going to be talking about Bristol street art, with a particular […]
Visiting the Scottish Seabird Centre & Seeing Puffins in North Berwick
Jess has wanted to see puffins for a very long time, so when the Scottish Seabird Centre in North Berwick, Scotland, offered us a trip on one of their bird watching tours at the start of puffin season, naturally we leapt at the opportunity. That first trip turned into two – we’ve now done both […]

13 Best Waterfalls in Ohio (With Photography Tips for Each One)
Ohio is not a state most people associate with waterfalls. I know I didn’t, at least not until Jess took me to Hocking Hills on one of our visits to see her family. She grew up in Ohio, and we have spent a fair amount of time exploring the state over the years. Enough time, […]
Caledonian Sleeper Review: Using the Sleeper Train in the UK
Sleeper trains! Jess and I are big fans, and we’ve taken them in a wide variety of countries. We’ve ridden all sorts of sleeper trains, from creaky old eastern European models through to the vintage Orient Express. We’ve also ridden one of the UK’s sleeper trains a number of times. The Caledonian Sleeper is a […]
3 Day Rome Itinerary: A First-Timer’s Plan (With Map)
Three days in Rome is the right amount. One day and you see the highlights and nothing else, two days means sprinting, and four starts to drag for most people. I first came to Rome in 1995, and I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been back since. Three days is the length I […]
How to Get Online When Travelling Abroad: Every Option for 2026
If you’re planning an international trip, one of the first practical questions is how you’re going to get online once you land. The good news is that staying connected abroad has never been easier or cheaper, and you almost never need to come home to one of those horror-story phone bills. Jess and I have […]

This guide covers every major Harry Potter filming […]
