Iceland, wiggling along fjords and over mountain passes. It’s basically a big oval that looks like it’s been drawn by someone who’s sat on a plane with severe turbulence. Today we found ourselves in northern Iceland, near Mývatn lake – which felt like another planet – for the billionth time in this country. We were…

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…
Exploring Iceland’s Glacial Lagoons
Before arriving in Iceland I spent many hours scouring maps to find the best sights, and that’s how I discovered that there was more than one glacial lagoon, there were actually quite a few of them. I pinned the best locations on my map and selected the top three for Craig and I to visit. …
Black Sand Beaches, Canyons And Remote Pools
An early start had us arriving at a unique sight before anyone else. After 15 minutes of walking along a rocky riverbank, through a lush green valley with low-lying cloud clinging to the peaks, we got sight of the oldest swimming pool in Iceland. It was constructed back in 1923 so kids could be taught…
Discovering A Mini Version Of Iceland
The Westman archipelago in southern Iceland is home to Heimaey, an island that’s said to resemble a miniature version of the country. It’s only small but it features volcanoes, mountains, cliffs, beaches and a bustling harbour. I instantly added it to the list of places I wanted to visit on our road trip around Iceland. …
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…
Witnessing An Erupting Volcano In Iceland
A once in a lifetime opportunity to see an erupting volcano.
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…
