While planning a trip to the Pantanal, I was admittedly a little overwhelmed with the different options available – Flotels, Pousadas, staying on land or on the river… trying to see what made sense for a Pantanal jaguar safari. After lots of research and quote gathering, we ended up doing […]

I’d already eaten Korean food before travelling to South Korea… Obviously, eating that same cuisine in the country was a different experience. I was really hyped up for the cuisine. However, because of my dietary requirement (no pork products), eating in South Korea was actually a bit of a challenge. […]

If you’re planning a wildlife trip to Zambia, South Luangwa National Park (SLNP) is probably on your list. It’s the country’s most popular wildlife destination. South Luangwa National Park is actually known for two things: the birthplace of walking safaris and its healthy population of leopards. My husband and I […]

I wasn’t sure I needed to do a hanbok experience in Seoul, South Korea. I had seen the photos – colourful traditional dresses, hanoks/palaces in the background. It looked fun but also felt like one of those touristic activities you do because you’re suppose to do whilst in Seoul. Disclosure: […]

I’ve just returned from 5 days travelling around Jeju Island in South Korea and my main advice for anyone going is: rent a car… Jeju is surprisingly large and the places you’d want to visit are scattered all over the island. Having your own car means exploring at your own […]

Planning a trip to see the world’s tallest waterfall – Angel Falls in Venezuela isn’t exactly straightforward… You can’t just rock up at Canaima and uber your way to the falls. Whilst an independent trip isn’t possible, there are plenty of operators and lodges that can organise a trip for […]

It’s hard to describe what it feels like to sleep directly beneath the stars on Botswana’s Makgadikgadi Salt Pans. We slept in swags with no tent around us, surrounded by nothing but the night sky, silence and an almost complete lack of light pollution. Sleeping out on Ntwetwe Pan (part […]

If you’re planning a safari in Uganda, I bet that Queen Elizabeth National Park (QENP) will almost certainly appear on your itinerary. It’s Uganda’s most visited national park, and for good reason. Between the classic game drives, the famous Kazinga Channel and the chance to spot tree climbing lions, it […]

When planning an Antarctica adventure, most people don’t actually realise how vessel size can actually impact how you experience the continent. One of the biggest mistakes people make when planning a trip to Antarctica is focusing entirely on price. I get it. When you’re looking at a trip that can […]

The Maldives has a reputation for costing thousands of dollars with only one way to experience it. I’ve visited the Maldives twice, travelling differently each time – staying on local islands, as a diving trip and experiencing luxury resorts. Let me tell you, the costs were dramatically different. I love […]

My experience: I spent four days diving with South Ari Sanctuary during a PADI Women’s Dive Day retreat in July 2026. I completed 10 dives across South Ari Atoll – including SAMPA and Maavaru Bay, seeing manta rays, eagle rays, turtles and huge schools of reef fish. Disclaimer: This review […]

After spending a week on Dhangethi Island in the Maldives, I discovered why this underrated local island is one of the best places to experience manta rays, world class diving and authentic Maldivian life without the resort price tag. Most people visit the Maldives dreaming of overwater villas, private pools […]

You’re probably here because you’re planning a trip to Antarctica and have seen an itinerary including somewhere called South Georgia… It’s fair enough to wonder if it would be worth the extra money to try to visit! Everyone planning a trip to the 7th Continent want to see glaciers, icebergs […]
