On our recent trip to Glasgow Jess and I were both impressed by the amount and quality of the street art in Glasgow. So much so in fact, that of course we wanted to share it with you. In today’s post I’m going to take you on a tour of some of our favourite pieces […]

The Best Photography Locations on the North Coast 500 (2026)
Scotland’s North Coast 500 is, for my money, one of the finest road trips in the world for photography. I’m a professional travel photographer, and I’ve driven and shot this 500-mile Highland loop many times across every season, from near-endless June daylight to frosty winter mornings. Every photo in this guide is my own, taken […]
Pollok House Glasgow: 2026 Closure and What’s Still Open
Jess and I first visited Pollok House on a Glasgow trip in 2017, wandering the upstairs rooms with their Spanish art collection and finishing with tea and a scone in the old kitchen, which is now (or rather was, before the current closure) the house café. We were back in Pollok Country Park in 2024 […]
2 Days in Glasgow: The Perfect Glasgow Itinerary (2026)
Glasgow tends to get skipped. Visitors land in Scotland, head straight for Edinburgh, and treat the country’s largest city as somewhere to change trains. That’s a mistake. Glasgow has the best free museums in Scotland, a run of Victorian architecture that rewards looking up, walls covered in some of the finest street art in the […]

Traditional Seychelles Creole Food: A Local’s Guide for 2026
I’m Seychellois. My dad’s family goes back nine generations on the islands, so traditional Creole food has been part of my life since the start. My granny, who’s since passed, made the best saucisse rougaille and salt fish rougaille I’ve ever eaten, and her traditional way of making coffee involved more condensed milk than any […]
2 Days in Vienna: A Complete Itinerary for a Weekend in the City
Jess and I have been to Vienna many times, and every time we come back I’m reminded why we keep making the trip. Vienna has a way of being simultaneously grand and approachable. You can spend the morning wandering around a palace that was once the seat of one of the most powerful dynasties in […]
Route 66 in Missouri: Our Photos and Highlights
Missouri has the strongest claim of any state to being the spiritual home of Route 66. It was here, in Springfield, that the name “Route 66” was first proposed in a telegram sent to Washington on April 30, 1926. The state has over 300 miles of the Mother Road running from St. Louis in the […]
