It was late autumn in 2014 when my boyfriend Craig and I first visited the Dolomites in northern Italy. We were on a big, seven-month road trip around Europe that took us up to the Arctic Circle and down to the twinkly Adriatic Sea. One of the places we were most excited about visiting was…

Kirkjufell Mountain, Shipwrecks, and Waterfalls in Southern Iceland
Our final sight on the Snæfellsnes peninsula was the famous Kirkjufell Mountain, which was shaped like a witch’s hat. The steep green slopes rose from a little peninsula that jutted into the sea. As we drove east the mountain seemed to morph into a pointier shape, so we pulled over to soak it all in….
Creepy Hot Springs and Quirky Churches | Snæfellsnes Peninsula
The Snæfellsnes peninsula in western Iceland is said to be ‘Iceland In A Nutshell’ with plenty to offer, from waterfalls and churches to seals and glaciers. But whenever I saw Snæfellsnes written on a map or a blog post I just scanned my eyes over the word – too afraid to say it out loud….
Exploring Unique Sights In Northern Iceland
It was when we were halfway around Iceland that we were finally treated to our first blue sky day – and boy was it worth the wait. A morning drive led us to a closed ski hill, giving us enough elevation to park above a sea of clouds which blanketed the valley below us. It…
Arctic Fox and Rainbow Mountains | Iceland
Today started with a beautiful drive to Iceland’s north-western tip. It’s said to be the puffin capital of Iceland, so that was our main reason to visit, but there were a few other sights that also enticed us to the area. The first stop was a hike to a glacial lake up in the mountains….
Viking Villages And Iceland’s Most Dramatic Beach
After spending the day gawping at house-sized icebergs floating in lagoons, we realised time had blissfully slipped away. We were in a national park so we had to drive 100km to a campsite and the sun was already low on the horizon. It’s illegal to wild or free camp in Iceland, which was a shame…
Icelands Best Waterfalls and Mud Pools
It was 4am when I was awoken by the sun piercing through the gaps of my camper van curtains. Craig and I rented the tiny home-on-wheels for our 11-day road trip around Iceland – clearly, we needed to figure out a way of blocking the light. I needed more sleep so I repositioned my eye…
Exploring the sights around Monastir and Kairouan | Tunisia
Craig and I left the blue skies of Tunisia’s desert and arrived to a downpour in the city of Sousse. The rain was so heavy that the city had flooded and every road our louage navigated through was filled with brown water. When we hopped out the vehicle we donned our ponchos and waded through…
Exploring the Desert Towns in Southern Tunisia | Tataouine and Matmata
It’s time for us to leave northern Tunisia and make our way 600km south, to the desert town of Tataouine. The main roads were smooth and fast, which meant the journey took just six and a half hours. The guesthouse we checked into was run by a lovely chap who left bread and water outside…
The Prettiest Coastal Town in Tunisia | Sidi Bou Said
The domed roofs, white walls and blue decor that line the narrow lanes in Sidi Bou Said, Tunisia, could fool even the most seasoned of travelled. You see, the little town looks remarkably similar to Santorini in Greece. To test the resemblance I shared a story on my Instagram with a photo of Sidi Bou…
