To be honest, we’d never even heard of Langkawi before we got to Asia, but it is certainly a major destination, receiving daily domestic and international flights to its airport. Due to its accessibility we knew that it would be quiet touristy, and, ostensibly we visited because we wanted to border hop from our...
Koh Lipe – Thailand’s best kept secret?
The job of choosing the right Thai Island (we know, hard job) to satisfy our beach craving after India was actually a little daunting. Let’s just say that despite being famous for pristine white powder sand beaches, dense jungle and crystalline turquoise waters, Thai islands are also synonymous with notorious full moon parties. Whilst...
India’s Golden Triangle, Part Two: The Taj Mahal & Agra
Arguably the number one sight in India is the Taj Mahal. Located in the city of Agra in the state of Uttar Pradesh it is said to be the most beautiful building in the world. It is one of those things that is so iconic, it is burnt into our collective consciousness. Anyone remember...
India’s Golden Triangle, Part One: Three days in Delhi
Delhi was our first stop and therefore our first impression of India. Many guidebooks and people familiar with the place told us not to start our India trip with three days in Delhi, as we might find it a bit overwhelming. Overwhelmed, us??!! Who do you think we are? We have been all over...
Getting Married in Belize
Yep, you guessed it, how could we write a post about getting married in Belize if we had not done it ourselves?! Organising a wedding seems daunting at the best of times, but what about doing it abroad? We knew that we wanted the minimum fuss, frills and cost possible and it quickly became...

Paradise on Earth – Our Guide to the Galapagos Islands
When we began our adventures, we always knew that we wanted to visit the famous Galapagos Islands of Ecuador. We also knew that it would be one of the most expensive portions of our travels, in fact as soon as we arrived at the airport we felt like our pockets had holes in them....
Ceviche! A guide to some of Lima’s best ceviche spots.
Lima can be a chaotic and daunting city for travellers, but we would encourage any food lover to make a visit. Peru frequently tops international lists for its culinary delights, and with good reason. At the start of our journey we wrote a post on Peruvian food, but during our second visit to Lima,...

Known by many names (Iguazu, Iguazú, Iguassu, or Iguaçu Falls) these magnificent and immense waterfalls are considered to be one of the 7 wonders of the natural world, and have been declared of Outstanding Universal Value by UNESCO.

BUENOS AIRES’ highlights in 5 days.
After a gruelling 20 hour bus journey from Puerto Madryn where we had been whale watching, we finally arrived in Buenos Aires for a family holiday with Alex’s parents. Argentina’s grand capital is a huge city of multiple barrios located on the shore of the estuary of the wide brown Rio de la Plata....
