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.

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.

I can't believe that we have crammed all of what I have talked about so far into one week! I feel like there's so much more of Alberta and British Columbia to explore, but unfortunately we just didn't have time to fit it all in - I'll just have to come back again! Location of … Continue reading Western Canada road-trip – 2 nights in Whistler, BC
Sun Peaks isn't really somewhere many people think of visiting when they are in Canada. However, it was the perfect overnight stop when travelling from Jasper to Whistler, otherwise it would have been a 10 hour journey!
