Last Updated: October 2026 Victoria is full of hidden gems, and whenever we had the chance to escape Melbourne, we loved heading into the countryside to discover somewhere new. For the Australia Day long weekend, we decided to explore Glenrowan and the King Valley, a beautiful part of North East Victoria that we hadn’t spent much time in before. We booked a...
Last Updated: October 2026 Visiting Villa de Leyva is like stepping back in time. With its whitewashed colonial buildings, cobblestone streets, beautiful mountain backdrop and enormous main square, it’s easily one of Colombia’s most charming towns. But is Villa de Leyva worth visiting on a day trip from Bogotá? Having made that exact journey ourselves, my...
With a total of 62 national parks to choose from, the United States is packed with natural wonders worth exploring. That’s especially true for nature lovers, keen hikers; or if you’re simply after an unforgettable time in the wilderness. With so many great ones to choose from, it’s tough to decide which parks to visit. So little time, right? Plus, very few of...
Last Updated: October 2026 Who doesn’t love a nice glass of Prosecco? For me, Prosecco brings back memories of summer, Italy, long lazy afternoons with girlfriends and sunny days spent sipping something cold and bubbly. Just hearing the word Prosecco puts a smile on my face! And I do love a good dry Prosecco. So, when we discovered that Victoria had its very...
Last Updated: October 2026 When we booked a long weekend in Glenrowan, in Victoria’s beautiful High Country, we had no idea that we’d end up discovering one of the region’s most colourful attractions: the North East Victoria Silo Art Trail. Our original plan was simple: explore the nearby King Valley, enjoy some delicious local wines and relax in...
Last Edited: September 2026 Lake Titicaca sits at approximately 3,810 metres above sea level and covers more than 8,000 square kilometres, straddling the border between Peru and Bolivia. Over the years, Lake Titicaca has become a very popular destination for visitors to the continent and has arguably become somewhat “over touristy”. However, it’s still worth seeing...
Easter Island or Isla de Pasqua is a small island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Well known for its famous Moai statues, Easter Island’s location makes it one of the most remote islands in the world. It’s a place that many people dream of visiting and I’d always wanted to go there myself. Since we were already going to be in Chile, there was no better time to...
As soon as we jumped off the bus in Vicuña, we began to relax. Looking around, we straight away knew that we’d made the right choice to head to the Elqui Valley. We’d had a rather stressful time in Chile so far, crossing the border from Bolivia and arriving in San Pedro de Atacama, just days after the largest political unrests since Pinochet had begun. We’d had...
San Pedro de Atacama was our first stop in Chile, a country I had dreamed about visiting for years. I was especially looking forward to visiting this little desert town, packed with fun tours and activities. I’d allocated six full days there, to let us make the most of it. However, little did we know that when we crossed the border from Bolivia into Chile, our time...
Last Updated: October 2026 We knew our visit to the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia would be spectacular. We’d met so many travellers who raved about it, but nothing could have prepared us for just how incredible it really was. Even with our high expectations, the Salar de Uyuni completely blew us away! As the largest salt flats in the world, this seemingly endless...
