Scroll our Travel Blog for inspiration.
If you want to see what we’ve been up to, or if you want some inspiration for your next trip, scroll through all of our blog posts.
You’ll find itineraries with practical travel advice, in-depth history into our favourite sites, memories of the best food, restaurants, and bars we’ve visited as well as books that have inspired our wanderlust.
You’ll also find Travel Journals which give more personal insight into destinations without a step-by-step guide - this is the stuff we love writing because travelling isn’t only about what you see, and the world isn’t a list of places and sights to be ticked off; it’s about what you feel, who you meet and what you learn along the way. Sure, it’s useful to know what bus to get where, but we want to write about the museum exhibit in Austria that had us in open-mouthed wander for an hour. The home-cooked meal that made us cry, the time we tried (and failed) to explain cricket to Argentinians through mime, the tango class lost in translation, the colours of the Northern Lights reflected in each other’s eyes, and mountain air so cold it took our breath away.
Please comment to leave your feedback or ask any questions, we’d love to hear from you!

The Two Sides of Lake Titicaca
It’s not hard to see why the Inca people believed the Andean world was born from the depths of Lake Titicaca - we spent a week exploring the lake from the Peruvian and Bolivian sides and were captivated by these sacred waters.
Palcoyo: the “other” Rainbow Mountain
The Rainbow Mountains of Peru are quite rightly famous and popular sights - but did you know about the “other” Rainbow mountain? All the colours, none of the crowds.
The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu
Long before Graeme and I knew each other, we were two nerdy kids pouring over Horrible Histories books, dreaming of one day walking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu… so to do it side by side was a dream come true.
Cusco: Ancient City, Modern Flavours
Cusco is a city that holds the rich cultural and historical heritage of the Inca Empire. Between acclimatising, doing the Inca Trail and visiting Rainbow mountain, we spent two weeks in and around the city.
Sand, Sea-life and Sashimi on Peru’s South Coast
We spent a week exploring the South Coast of Peru - Huacachina, Paracas and Lima.
Summiting a 5000m Peak in Huaraz
Huaraz is a hiker’s paradise, with hundreds of options to get out into the mountains of Huascaran National Park. We spent 3 days in the city, including an attempt to break the 5000m barrier!
Tales from Trujillo
Peruvian history does not begin and end with the Incas. We used Trujillo as a base to explore archaeological sites and learn more about pre-Incan cultures in Northern Peru.
Lazy Days in Mancora
Mancora is a popular surfer and kite surfer town thanks to consistent waves and year round sun. Visiting in July, we were technically out of beach season, but at the height of whale watching season.
