In summary – you probably should do it but don’t have too high expectations and hold out for when it’s sunny if you can! We were desperate to see the beauty of Vietnam that so many people talk of so it was a no brainer for us to venture to Halong Bay. We researched trip […]

If like us, you don’t like big bustling polluted cities then Hanoi is definitely not for you – our advice is get in and get out again! We have never seen so many mopeds on the roads and on the pavements; pedestrians are forced to walk on the road side and you have to vigilantly […]

We added this stop to our journey based on a recommendation from a friend, and are so glad we did. We are not massive fans of bustling cities so this offered us just what we were looking for – a quiet little traditional town set on the edge of the Mekong River, but get there […]

Chiang Mai has to be one of our favourite places we have visited on our travels so far – it manages to have a small town feel whilst actually being big and bustling. There is so much going on and it’s cheap enough that you can do it all! You will definitely want to spend […]

For us, Colombia is one of our favourite countries we have explored in South America. Like its neighbours, it offers a diverse landscape and you will find it hard to be bored, but more than that, it still has a rawness to it from its tough and not so distant history of drugs and violence […]

If I asked you about Chile what would be the first few thoughts about the place? Chilean wine? General Pinochet? This is what Navid’s impression was of Chile until we visited Puerto Varas and Pucon. Now we associate the country with natural beauty and warm people. Chile is a place that Navid has kept close […]

Bariloche has to be one of our favourite places in Argentina that we have discovered in the five weeks we spent travelling around the country. Filled with lakes and surrounded by mountains, this is the perfect location for getting back to nature and taking on a few hikes (for all capabilities). The town itself leaves […]

Finally, this was the Argentinian city that we were both craving; a beautiful city and well maintained. Mendoza is a famous wine region and with a shared love of wine, we couldn’t wait to explore the vineyards and winery’s outside of the city, but this doesn’t take away from the city itself, with a large […]

Think laid back university city with a fascinating history, showcased in its architecture, and coupled with a love of arts – that is Córdoba summed up. We both found this city to have a relaxed vibrancy to it, it felt safe and had a small town vibe. This certainly wasn’t what we were expecting from […]

We have just spent five nights in El Calafate and whilst we have thoroughly enjoyed our time here, we are definitely ready to move on to our next destination. We purposely built in a few extra days to have some down time but you really only need two (max three) days here to see the […]
