Unforgettable Adventures in Morocco: A Journey Through Sand, History, and Flavour
I have so many great memories from my time exploring Morocco, that it’s hard to pick just one favourite! From camel trekking through the Sahara Desert at sunset and sleeping under the starry desert skies to getting lost in the maze-like alleys of the Medinas and overlooking the Tanneries of Fez, Morocco is full of […]
Bahamian Bliss: A Fun-Filled Family Carnival Cruise Adventure
With so many different cruise lines out there, it pays to do a bit of research, so if you are looking for a family friendly cruise then look no further than Carnival.

Pedals and Sails: A Croatian Island Adventure

Exploring the Pacific Northwest: From Portland’s Quirks to Oregon’s Hidden Coast
The Pacific Northwest is a favourite spot for Kiwi travellers right now. On a previous trip, I enjoyed Vancouver, the Canadian Rockies, Alaska’s inside passage, and the Californian coast.

Springtime in Paris: A Journey of Hidden Gems and Iconic Sights
