A while back, I was lucky enough to spend an afternoon wandering the Hobbiton movie set, which can be found near the town of Matamata in New Zealand. When I visited, I was made to sign a lengthy and complex non disclosure agreement, which meant that whilst I could drink in all the hobbity wonder […]

#TravelPinspiration: Waterfalls
I know – a blog post with a hashtag. I am so web 3.0. In fact, I think I may re-defining cool when it comes to blog post titles. Yep. So, what’s this all about? Well, Caz and Craig, the lovely folks behind ytravelblog, have started a weekly series called Travel Pinspiration, cunningly mashing […]
Taking some time to relax with @Naturaki in Costa Brava
I may have mentioned in the odd post recently that Vera and I have been down in Spain, attending a travel blogger conference and then being whisked around the incredible Catalan region with the folks from Visit Costa Brava. The travel blogging conference itself was pretty epic, with two long days of workshops and networking […]
Ballooning in Costa Brava
When I learnt, about a month before I was due to head down to Costa Brava, that I was going to be going on a ballooning trip, I was a teeny bit excited. Ok, so I may have wandered around for roughly the next month in a happy daze, mumbling the word “ballooning” at every […]

So when people ask me to put together a one-month New Zealand itinerary, I have some opinions. This is the one-month road trip I’d plan today, with the benefit of hindsight. It […]

My Spanish Adventure
As previously alluded to, Vera and I are popping down to the Costa Brava region of Spain for the next ten days to take part in the TBEX travel bloggers conference, which is being held in the rather charming Catalan town of Girona. I thought I’d give you a sneak peek of the itinerary we’ve […]
