For many, Iceland is an absolute bucket-list destination. We were no different. After months of planning we finally made it to Iceland and started on the most amazing itinerary. Though we had countless incredible experiences planned, there was one that piqued our excitement (a bucket-list experience in a bucket-list location, if you will) – ice caving […]

With food being such an important part of our daily lives and culture, is there a better way to get to know a new city than to eat your way around the most delicious and unique spots? We don’t think so! When we decided to forgo driving Iceland’s Ring Road, instead mostly basing ourselves in […]

After the most amazing week in Iceland it was time to begrudgingly pack up our things and make a move. Of course we didn’t have anything to complain about as we were off to a new destination for us both – beautiful Norway. After an uneventful flight (which is exactly what you want in a […]

Iceland is known for many things, but a budget destination it is not. Being relatively isolated, the cost of living is fairly high and of course these prices are often reflected in the price of accommodation. So, what is one to do if travelling to Iceland without an endless budget? There are a number of […]

If you’ve seen photos of Iceland you’ve probably seen the haunting photos of an abandoned old plane. Its wings, windows and tail long since taken by the elements, the fuselage sitting in stark contrast to the surrounding snow and black pebbles. In the past, visitors hunting out striking photo opportunities access the crash site directly by […]

Long distance travelling would have to be one of the most monotonous parts of any long-term travel experience.

Croatia is absolutely gorgeous; locals have known it forever and travellers the world over are coming to realise. In fact, I don’t think I know one single person that’s not sung Croatia’s praises!

Growing up, my main connection to Bosnia was through news coverage of the civil war that broke out across Yugoslavia. At the time, I was too young to understand the reasons for the war but through our travels in the Balkans, we’ve developed a much better understanding of how and why things unfolded in the […]
