A day trip to Guatapé from Medellín
We took a day trip from Medellin to Guatape. Here's where we went, what we saw, and what to expect.
Five days in Medellín itinerary
Medellín is one of my favourite cities and I could have stayed so much longer than four nights/five days. But in that time we were able to explore a fair amount of the city and its nightlife. These were our highlights.
Three days in Salento, Colombia itinerary
We spent three days in Salento in mid-March, and it was one of the highlights of our trip to Colombia. Salento is a small town in a coffee region set within the Andes mountains. The area is beautiful and green, with plenty of great hikes and tours. And the town itself is quaint, with colourfully-painted houses lining almost every street.
Two nights in Bogotá itinerary
We had heard mixed reviews about Bogotá, the capital of Colombia. But since it’s the only city with direct flights from London, we knew we were going to spend at least one day there. But we were pleasantly surprised.
How we spent two weeks in Colombia
Colombia might be my favourite country I’ve visited so far. Here’s my two week Colombia itinerary, including where to stay in Colombia and is Colombia safe?
How we spent a weekend in Dublin
We went to Dublin for a weekend in January, which was plenty of time to fit in the main thing we wanted to see and do. Dublin, the capital of Ireland, is a city that you can visit all year round as winter weather won’t affect your experience – in fact, we found that visiting close to Christmas added to the cosy atmosphere.
What to pack for a holiday in Tenerife
We visited Tenerife in November, and the temperature rarely dropped below 25ºc in the day and 17ºc at night. It’s a great place to catch some year-round sun, but you might need to pack for cooler weather too...
The best hikes in Tenerife
Tenerife’s hiking trails attract millions of visitors every year. The island is famous for its scenery and, more than any of the other Canary Islands, walking seems to be one of the main activities. These were our favourite hikes.
The best beaches in Tenerife
Most of the beaches in Tenerife are black sand due to the volcanic rocks. But there are plenty of golden sand beaches to be found as well. These were our favourite beaches in Tenerife.
The best places to eat and drink in Tenerife
We spent three weeks in Tenerife, and these were our favourite places to eat and drink.
The best things to do in Tenerife
We spent about 10 days exploring the island of Tenerife, and I still feel like we could have spent longer there. Despite being a relatively small island, it has the most to do and see of all the Canary Islands. These were our highlights.

We spent three days in Paris in September. Here’s everything you need to know before you go.
Where to eat and drink in Riga
We didn’t go to Latvia for its cuisine, the way you might with Greece or Mexico. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t great places to eat and drink. Across our three days in Riga we had some delicious meals at modern (and not so modern) restaurants. And by night we found plenty of great bars to drink in.
The best things to do in Riga
As an old Soviet state, Riga has some amazing history in Riga and the surrounding areas that give context to the city’s past and present which I’m really glad we experienced alongside the more contemporary side of Latvia.
How we spent three days in Riga
I went to Riga as part of a week-long trip to Estonia and Latvia. Instead of flying or taking the train or coach, we drove the 4.5 hours to Riga from Tallinn, stopping at a few sights along the way. So, after driving through the beautiful Latvian countryside and stopping in the beautiful village of Cesis and ‘the Switzerland of Latvia, Sigulda, we arrived in Riga.
Where to eat and drink in Tallinn
I love to find great places to eat and drink when I’m on holiday. But in Tallinn, I hadn’t expected this to be such a highlight. The local restaurants in Tallinn are contemporary, with a great selection of dishes to choose from.
The best things to do in Tallinn
We visited Tallinn as a group of four in mid-July 2024. The trip was planned as part of a week-long trip including a drive down to Riga in Latvia. But before we hit the road, we had three days to explore Tallinn, the capital of Estonia.
