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…

Hiking, Medinas and Colourful Houses | Our first few days in Tunisia
To finish off another year abroad and get a little travel-fix before we start work again we made a rather spontaneous decision to book a last minute flight to Tunisia. We’ve never been before so I wasn’t sure what to expect but after doing some research I discovered there were blue and white medinas built…
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…
Autumn in the Norwegian Arctic
It’s never a quick journey to reach northern Norway and this time our day started at 4:15am with a 2km walk to the bus stop – remarkably under a sky filled with dancing aurora which is very rare in the south of Norway. The bus took 3 hours to reach Oslo where we hopped on…
Autumn in southern Norway | Cozy cabins and living with malamutes
It’s our 5th visit to Norway as we just can’t get enough of this country. We were feeling pretty burnt out on our backpacking trip around the world, it’s exhausting planning every day, taking uncomfortable public transport, getting food poisoning and surviving the stifling heat. So we made the decision to go somewhere cold that…
Hiking to the bluest lake in Kyrgyzstan
I love a milky blue lake and I discovered another one we could visit in Kyrgyzstan so we set off for Kol Tor Kegeti. First we got a shared taxi from Naryn towards Bishkek and the cool thing is there’s a sort of whatapp chat the locals use to offer or ask for shared rides…
