Despite having spent a great deal of time travelling around Europe, my trails have never taken me to Eastern Europe, other than a quick city break in Prague. So when Chloe contacted me asking if I’d host a post on Croatia, in Eastern Europe, naturally I was interested. Read on to find out why this […]

Northern Thailand by Instagram
I love Instagram. Since it became available for Android in early 2012 I’ve been really enjoying the way it lets me share photos of the moments that happen around me in near real-time. I also find the square format to be fun to work with, and find it fascinating what you can achieve with a […]
2012 in review – the photo edition
Having looked back at 2012 and ahead to 2013 already,, I thought you might to take a look at our year that was in the medium of photos, with one photo representing each month. This was our first year based in France, so we naturally did a fair bit of exploring in our region around […]
The street art of Barcelona
Barcelona is a city with a lot to offer. We’ve visited a number of times, and always feel that we have so much left to see. Although that’s no bad thing – a return journey to Barcelona is always going to be a pleasure! During our time in Barcelona we’ve seen all kinds of art, […]
The friendliness of the Thai people (& a hostel review)
Before I came out to to Thailand, I was informed on more than one occasion that the Thai people are known for their friendliness. I even hosted a whole photo essay from a fellow blogger all about Thailand being the land of smiles. But third party information is only worth so much. I needed to […]
What to See in Ayutthaya: 6 Essential Temples and a 1-Day Itinerary
If I asked you to name the largest city in the world around the year 1700, I wonder where you might suggest. London? Paris? Beijing? Cairo? I’m going to guess that the city of Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya (or simply Ayutthaya, as everyone calls it today) didn’t make your shortlist. Well, by around 1700 Ayutthaya […]
The Black Temple of Chiang Rai: Visiting the Black House
Chiang Rai has two art-temples that pull travellers off the highway, and almost everyone has heard of the famous one. The White Temple gets the crowds, the postcards and the tour buses. The Black House sits a few kilometres up the road, draws a fraction of the visitors, and I think missing it is a […]
In photos: Freiburg im Breisgau
Freiburg im Breisgau. The name just rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it? This German town is tucked way down in Germany’s south west and serves as the entry point to the Black Forest – famous for its cake as well as its trees. It’s also mostly referred to as Freiburg as the whole name is […]
The White Temple of Chiang Rai
If you visit the northern city of Chiang Rai in Thailand, then I can highly recommend a trip to the white temple and the black temple, the former of which is the subject of today’s post, and the latter of which I posted about here. I won’t be surprised if you start looking for cheap […]
Cycling in the Pyrenees – From Mountains to Coastline
I love cycling. When I lived in France it was my preferred method of getting round. It’s faster than walking, environmentally friendly, and you get to take in the scenery and fresh air. Plus the odd fly, for nutrition. So when the opportunity to spend three days cycling in the Pyrenees presented itself, I jumped […]
