Just a couple in their twenties hopelessly in love with travelling (and each other) and who want to share their experiences
As we found ourselves temporarily based in Swansea, we decided to make the most of a dry but wintery Saturday afternoon and explore the area a bit more.

Read on to … Continue reading An afternoon on the Swansea coast – a lovely 9km walk

The village of Tintern, situated on the West bank of the River Wye, is about 45 minutes drive from Cardiff so perfect for an afternoon out for the two of us.

Our first trip of 2020, and we stayed a little bit closer to home for this one.

Snowdonia is a National … Continue reading Snowdonia, North Wales – January 2020
The city of Budapest in Hungary is situated either side of the River Danube. Until 1873, hilly Buda and relatively flat Pest were actually two completely separate cities bisected by the river, until they were joined by bridges to become one. There are still slight differences visible between the two sides, with Buda definitely being … Continue reading A short break in Budapest, Hungary – December 2019

The Danes are known to be some of the happiest people in the world (according to various random rankings), so we thought we'd give this city a try in August (2019). Copenhagen is the capital of Denmark, and is situated on the 2 coastal islands of Zealand and Amager. Despite it's slightly uncommon format, the … Continue reading The Best of Copenhagen

Day 7 - Saturday 28th July 2019 Our day didn't quite go to plan from the beginning, as it was a rather wet, rainy and thunder stormy day which we weren't expecting. The plan was to pop over to Lake Thun in the morning and rent a couple of kayaks for the morning and go … Continue reading One week in Interlaken – Day 7
Day 6 - Friday 27th July 2018 Today was our last full day and it was a scorcher.

When we went to Croatia last July, we decided to take a day trip to this beautiful country. We booked our tour through GetYourGuide for about £50 each (not dirt cheap but for a whole day our including travel and a fantastic guide it felt like really good value). It was such an interesting and … Continue reading Day trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina – why go?
It feels like some people are so obsessed with international travel and saying they've been to all these far-flung places that actually they forget what is right on their doorstep. I have to say that I am guilty of this too, despite living in the UK all my life I have visited so little of … Continue reading 2019 Easter weekend in the Peak District
