Four days in Tayrona National Park itinerary

Parque Nacional Natural Tayrona or Tayrona National Park is a large protected area in the north of Colombia. The remote setting made a change from the buzzing city of Medellin… But the party vibe continued (for us, anyway). Here’s what you need to know about staying in Tayrona Park.

Two days in Cartagena, Colombia itinerary

Cartagena is a busy, lively place that has a more Caribbean feel to it than the Latin vibes of Bogotá and Medellin. It’s a port town with tropical islands close by, an old military fort, and a beautiful walled city with colourful cobbled streets. We were in Cartagena as part of a two week trip to Colombia, and these were our highlights.

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.

Review: Tao Philippines Expedition, Coron to El Nido

When we were planning three months of travel, friends who had been to the Philippines and been on a Tao expedition told us it was the best thing they’d done. So we were sold, and booked our own trip. I had high hopes, but everything about Tao exceeded my expectations 100 times over.

Three weeks in Australia in March: our itinerary

Planning three weeks in Australia might sound easy. But when it came to creating a plan that fit in every sight we wanted to see, it ended up taking us days – if not weeks. Here's what we settled on.

How we spent three days in Tasmania

Realistically, three days in Tasmania isn’t long enough. But it’s as long as we had and we decided we’d rather see it in three days than not at all. It was definitely worth the trip, and left me wanting to go back some day.

Driving Great Ocean Road in three days

There are so many ways to explore the Great Ocean Road. You can walk it, cycle it, drive it over a week or even see it in one day. We decided to explore the coast by car over three days.

How we spent three days in Melbourne

You could definitely spend longer than three days in Melbourne. But we found that it was enough for us to experience the cafe culture, see the main sights in the city centre, and explore the Yarra Valley.

How we spent three days in Sydney

I can’t explain how much I love Sydney. I love any city with a beach or water but Sydney seriously exceeded any expectations that I had. It’s busy and buzzy and fun but still feels so safe and friendly. We explored a bunch of different neighbourhoods and I loved them all – even the CBD.
