You know what’s nice? Sunsets. And you know what’s even better than sunsets? Sunsets across the ocean, enjoyed from a fine beach, preferably with a cocktail or chilled beer in hand. During our time in Ecuador, we were privy to some rather fine sunsets, but the only place where we really got our sunset-with-beach-with-cocktail-in-hand vibe […]

What to Do in Otavalo, Ecuador – A Detailed Travel Guide
Otavalo in Ecuador is a pretty little town, a couple of hours bus ride north of Quito. It’s largely famous for its market, which, to be honest, didn’t totally blow us away. It was very nice and all, but it wasn’t exactly a reason to visit this particular town over many others in Ecuador and […]

Galway and its Hookers
Okay, let me get this straight off your dirty minds: a Galway Hooker is a boat, people; a boat! Now that we cleared that up (and had 95% of people leave the site immediately), I would like to get back to the topic, and that is Galway, which is the name of both a city […]
Hiking, biking, cycling and more! An adventure tour of the Galapagos
The Galapagos! Yes, I think I will start every post about the Galapagos like that. They are just such an awesome place to visit! Which was something we recently had the very distinctive pleasure of doing, on a 10 day adventure tour with GalaKiwi. The thing is, when you tell most people that you are […]
The Best Bars in Poznań for Beer: 7 Picks for 2026
I visited Poznań twice in 2012, hosted by the City of Poznan, and spent both trips working my way through its bars. The Polish craft beer scene was just finding its feet then, and Poznan was already one of the easier cities in the country to see what good Polish brewing looked like up close: […]
One Day in London: What to See, Do and Not Miss
I lived in central London for a couple of years, and Jess and I still visit regularly. So when I’m asked what to do with just one day in the city, I have a pretty well-tested answer. This is a walking itinerary that takes you from the Tower of London to the West End, covering […]

Lucky number 13! Time for another round up post of some of the most popular images that we’ve shared on our Facebook Page over the last couple of months. Since the last post we’ve been busy touring Brazil, Ecuador and the Galapagos, so naturally we have photos from those adventures in this collection – as […]
