What is a Sound?
(This post was written in 2022 during our year off travelling, but not published at the time) Don’t worry, travelling has not turned me into a philosopher. And this is not like a drunken ramble that you may have had when you were younger. This is a serious question, what on Earth is a Sound?… Continue reading What is a Sound?
An expensive ‘free trip’
A couple of years ago, we were lucky enough to have an amazing time getting a Hurtigruten ferry up the coast of Norway. The trip itself was fantastic, but what wasn’t so great was that KLM cancelled one of our return flights at the last moment. This was not the first nor the last time… Continue reading An expensive ‘free trip’
Taking the Navimag Ferry from Puerto Montt to Puerto Natales
During our year off to go travelling, I struggled to keep up to date with writing blog posts and sorting photos. It took me too long to write anything remotely decent and we were constantly busy and having fun. It also didn’t help that I had it set in my head that everything needed to… Continue reading Taking the Navimag Ferry from Puerto Montt to Puerto Natales
Travelling whilst starting to get older
I’ve been reflecting recently about how my travelling habits have changed since starting to get a bit older. Whilst I was lucky to have some great holidays with my parents when I was young, I didn’t really start to travel myself until I was 25 and moved abroad to work. Since then, I’ve been lucky… Continue reading Travelling whilst starting to get older
Chasing the Aurora
I can’t remember when the desire to see the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) first came about but I was certainly pretty young. Over the years I’ve made a few attempts to try and realise that ambition. First was in my mid-twenties when I had a four days in Iceland just after New Year. But it… Continue reading Chasing the Aurora
Austria once again
I guess it’s quite funny. When we lived in Switzerland, quite close to the Austrian and German borders, we almost never went to Austria. We didn’t have a car, we did have a Swiss rail pass and the Swiss alps just seemed more appealing. And yet, now that we live in Luxembourg, hundreds of kilometres… Continue reading Austria once again
Where to visit in late Autumn?
Given the schedule of a teacher, deciding where to go for the October half-term holiday is always a bit of a balancing act. Especially for the last couple of years when it has fallen on the last few days of October and the first few of November. The weather in Europe can be very unpredictable… Continue reading Where to visit in late Autumn?
And we’re back again
So, I’m probably the worst blogger in history for the simple fact that I just don’t put out enough stuff! It’s been over a year since I actually published anything, but during that time I’ve actually started writing posts on multiple trips and activities. The problem is that I haven’t finished any of them. There… Continue reading And we’re back again
Brit and Czech not abroad
I thought I’d take a break from recapping our year off travelling and write about something a little more recent (but still a while ago…). In May of last year, we spent a week back in Radka’s home country of the Czech Republic (or Czechia, as it’s now officially known). And then in August, Radka… Continue reading Brit and Czech not abroad
Summary of Ecuador
Given that I have (finally) finished writing up our experiences in Ecuador, I thought it would be good to have a brief recap and summary: Highlights Galapagos Cruise I am well aware that this is a total cop-out, given that the cruise was over a period of six days and included a multitude of different,… Continue reading Summary of Ecuador
