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…
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…
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…
