The next week would take us across Botswana to reach our final destination of this section, Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. There was a lot of driving involved but the two main highlights were the Okavango Delta and the Chobe River. For most of our driving days, […]

Before visiting Russia, I was really unsure what to expect when it came to long distance train journeys. Would there be any English signs or would I have to quickly learn Cyrillic? Would it be easy for a foreigner to buy a ticket? Did you […]

Taking the Allegro train from Helsinki to St Petersburg takes just 3.5 hours and runs four times a day. It’s efficient, modern and very easy to use, so instead skip the airport queues and try the cheaper (and more fun) option of taking the train.

The final two weeks of our US road trip were spent driving up the sunny west coast of North America. Amazingly, we did not visit any beaches, preferring instead to stay inland and soak up the laid-back culture, food and wine. After spending a few […]
