Summer seems to have slipped past us here in England. It began with a heatwave; most of us brits got severely sunburnt and then complained that it was too hot and Mother Nature retaliated with rain. England is actually screwed if the temperature goes above 28 degrees or below 0; either we run out of…

The untold stories of Vanlife | Part One
You see all the good times of vanlife smeared across social media these days, but is it really as idyllic as it looks?

How to travel long-term | Volunteering around the world
Volunteering has really helped us stretch our budget whilst travelling the world. We first tried it out in Australia when we lost our job at a sweet potato farm after only 6 days.

Exploring The Algarve | Portugal
Normally when we get to a new destination I’ll research what the area has to offer, but Portugal was different, we just made a decision to go there and didn’t really know what to expect. We were based in the countryside about 5km from the coast and luckily we had very kind hosts who allowed…

We tried researching certain things online and couldn’t get confirmed answers so here’s some things that you may find helpful: Staying at Refuge Mouflons I’d recommend going on their website or phoning…
Hiking Jebel Toubkal | North Africa’s highest mountain
I was relieved to wake up with a clear head and no signs of altitude sickness so we were safe to hike. We had an awful nights sleep in the dorm and even with ear plugs in I could hear strangers snoring and farting and it drove me mad. We’d anticipated a bitterly cold night…
