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…
Northern Lights and Rainbow Clouds | Polar Nights in Norway
The sun has officially set for us until January but we still get some daylight for a few hours every day, although it doesn’t feel that way when the weathers bad and we’re in a gloomy state of twilight before it’s pitch black again. I normally enjoy this time of year, the colourful sunrises and…
A Trip to a Mountain Cabin in Arctic Norway
About 20 years ago our friends family built a wooden cabin in the mountains of northern Norway. It’s set on the shores of a large lake, backed by mountains and only accessible by foot. Before my boyfriend Craig and I departed Norway we were invited to go up to the cabin for a night. The…
Walking in a Winter Wonderland
There’s something very soothing about walking through a snow covered forest. The snow mutes the noises like natural insulation and the only sound comes from occasional dollops of snow as they plummet down from the highest branches. We were making our way up a 300 meter mountain through a good couple of feet of fresh…
Ferry Rides, and a Crazy Sunrise as we Travel Further North | Norway
It’s time to make our way further north in Norway and while it’s only 250km as the crow flies the journey is actually almost 500km when you drive the route. But, we don’t have a car so that means relying on public transport, taking 2 ferries, 3 buses and a night in a hotel. Our…
Colourful aurora and mountain hikes in the Arctic | Norway
The theme of autumn in the arctic so far has been rain and more rain. Thankfully a drop in temperature meant we had our first snowfall of the season and suddenly it turned into a winter wonderland. It wasn’t just on the mountains, we had a good few inches of snow on the ground too…
A boat ride with a flock of sheep in the Norwegian Arctic
Life in the Norwegian arctic is always a bit unpredictable but today really proved that when our friend asked if we wanted to go for a boat trip to an island….to collect some of his sheep!! So apparently he puts them there for summer grazing but now the grass has lost most of its nutrients…
