You can’t come to Morocco and not experience a Hammam, so we set out to find one in Fez. We literally had no idea what was involved in one of these Turkish bathhouses though so we did a little research online and spoke with our riad hosts. It seemed to be a variety of hot…

Huge snowfall on Skopelos Island, Greece
The snow was predicted to blow in from Siberia days before it arrived. We received a tiny amount of snow last week but nothing compared to what was to come. After a silent night I pulled back the curtain and the snow had already fallen. It wasn’t much, just a nice dusting everywhere and we…
Snowmen and sunsets | Christmas on a Greek IslandĀ
Sadly we didn’t get to spend Christmas with our families this year, but we did have a pretend Christmas Day in November before we left for Greece and it was probably for the best seeing as my sister ended up catching a bug and being bed-bound and quarantined at her flat for the real Christmas…
A roadtrip round Skopelos Island | Greece
We picked the most perfect blue sky day to hop into our hosts jeep and go for a spin around the island. The roads wiggled along the pine covered hills and skirted high above the sea. Our first stop was Milia Beach, said to be the islands best. We were the only people on the…
First impressions of living on a Greek Island
We’ll be spending a couple of months in a small village on the Greek island of Skopelos. We were a little shocked with the temperature when we first arrived to be honest. It was almost as cold as England and the chilly wind whipped through my thin clothes that I’d worn for our transport day…
Our next destination | Volunteering in Greece
We spent 2016 having an incredible time exploring China, the Philippines, Japan and Hawaii -which aren’t exactly our normal backpacker budget locations but we felt that after 8 years of travel we should open our wallets a little and not be such tight arses. So we splashed out and I’m so happy we did as…
Wild weather, stunning beaches and spicy food in Tulum
A smooth flight took us over the Florida keys and across the Gulf of Mexico landing us in sunny Cancun for a nine day little holiday – a bizarre concept for us long term travellers. We arrived in a very organised airport with toilets much cleaner and more modern than the squaller ones at Fort…
A taste of old times in Miami
We had five days left in America so based ourselves in Dania Beach at an Airbnb which was cheaper than a hostel, and much nicer too. We met a lovely lady from Belize, called Michelle who was also staying at the house and was such a character and so full of life. One night Craig…
Airboat rides and alligators in the Everglades
We couldn’t find a place to camp around Naples so we continued south under a pitch black sky into an area of true wilderness in south western Florida. We’ve seen some pretty interesting wildlife signs in Florida that we hadn’t expected to see, first bears and now panther signs. The Floridan Panther is endangered and…
Sunsets, dolphins and beach life | Florida
We hadn’t seen the sea since Alaska so we were keen to hit the coast and watch the sun go down. It proved to be rather difficult to find a place to watch the sunset though as every road we took was lined with private property and fancy houses…bit mean calling a road Sunset Boulevard…
