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, […]
Our next adventure was 12 days driving through South Africa and Namibia on a pumped up overlander. G Adventures have redesigned the typical overlander vehicle to be more comfortable and traveller friendly – photography windows, USB ports at every chair, driver in the same area […]
The Journey to Kruger When I thought of flying into Kruger, I had images of us flying over a vast savanna, seeing giraffes galloping across the orange sand – I had seen too many movies! The reality was lots of green and yellow land and […]
A whole month in central Europe, driving around historic cities and beautiful landscapes. That was the plan. Forget the sun in Spain, the food in Italy and the beaches in Greece. This road trip was about one thing and one thing only – finding the […]
Our UK road trip started with a week at my parents’ new house in Herne Bay aka The Bay, where the sun always shines at some point during the day. We spent most the time with my wonderful crazy family that we miss terribly!
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 […]
We had just spent the last two weeks working our way down South, but it was now time to go North again… straight up the middle of the USA! From Louisiana, we headed across to Houston Texas to visit the infamous NASA Space Center. Having […]
The southern part of America was all about music and food, two of my greatest loves, so excuse me if I forgo some of the other details!
Leaving the East coast, we headed West with the aim of reaching Chicago in 3 days. Our first stop was for lunch at a McDonalds in Pennsylvania – but this wasn’t just any old McDonalds, it was the famous Big Mac Museum. The Big Mac […]
New York City. Empire city. The Big Apple. What an amazing place. I don’t know how anybody could visit here and not fall in love with the city. It’s like you’re in a movie. The neighbourhoods are all so different and vibrant. The food is […]
After almost 8 weeks in Central America we were really looking forward to being somewhere a little bit more civilized. Central America was amazing but there is only so much rice, beans and tortillas that one can handle! Interestingly, Cuba turns out to be a […]
Our first experience of Cuba was fantastic. We were picked up in a very well looked after Red Chevrolet Dodge with red leather diamond cushioned seats, cream leather interiors, spacious seating and open windows for air conditioning against the balmy night. It was a bouncy […]
Our second tour started where the last one left off – Antigua, Guatemala. It was the week leading up to Semana Santa (Easter Week), one of the busiest weeks in Central America being a predominantly Catholic region. We did encounter lots of traffic and busyness […]
People plan holidays in many different ways. Some people prefer to take each day as it comes and rock up to a hostel at 7pm hoping for a bed and deciding how long they will stay at each place once they get there. Others prefer […]
What a first week and a half… it was absolutely crazy! We boarded flight QF7 from Sydney to Dallas on Wednesday the 8th of March. Luckily, our request to upgrade to business class on points was granted, making the 15-hour journey very enjoyable. Brooke even […]
Brooke and I first met back in 2011 whilst travelling. We had both left our jobs in London to go and ‘travel the world’. We never knew each other in the UK. Our paths would have never crossed were it not for our shared passion […]
