With the advent of COVID-19, most European countries had closed their international borders, thereby restricting tourists from other countries to explore European countries. However, this is no longer the case as the world and the international borders have started to re-open and re-ignite the desire to travel in 2022. As we speak, you can now tour Europe by taking a…
After a 4 hour flight from London, we step off the plane at Paphos airport and the heat hits us. It aways amazes me the difference in climate that 2,000 miles south can make. Shame we can’t move the UK next to Cyprus. You can see why so many expats move here! We hired a car from the airport as…
Unlike no other place on earth, the Amazon rainforest is a bucket list destination for many people.

Have you always dreamed of travelling the world and getting paid for it? Now you can do it through travel vlogging. But not everything sounds as fantastic as it sounds. Anyone can get to the point where their main concern is creating travel videos, but this requires tremendous effort and consistency. So to have a sustainable income while traveling the…
If you have ever dreamed of that white sand, palm fringed lagoon idyll then you are not alone! The desert island fantasy must be the most desired holiday experience in the world. For some that would be the ultimate lifestyle. Imagine waking up with the sun every day, apart from Monsoon season of course. Imagine having nothing to do but…
For the past twelve months or so, it would be fair to say that all school holidays have blended into one. However, all being well, this is gradually changing. With the next half-term only days away, families are now in position to jet off (probably on a road trip) and sample a short break away from their familiar four walls.…
Located in the south west of England, Dartmoor is a deservedly famous moorland to enjoy and a great one to walk in particular. It’s popularity can be attributed to the variety the park has to offer: rolling lush hills, mystic woods with rivers passing through and fantastic granite features, also known as tors, that rise up out of the ground…
