I love museums, especially ones with a focus on history, so naturally when looking up things to do in Sousse the Sousse Archaeological Museum made it to the top of my list. Not only is the museum full of great artefacts, but the building itself is an 11th century Kasbah so it’s worth visiting just…
As I was staying in Sofia for quite a while, I wanted to take the chance to explore another city. As it’s only two hours away, and full of Roman ruins, I decided to do a day trip to Plovdiv. Having already visited the Roman sites in Nimes earlier in the year, I thought it…
As many of my followers know, I love books. Therefore, when visiting Porto it was obvious that I had to visit their famous bookshop! It regularly is listed as one of the most beautiful bookshops in the world, and is very popular. Luckily, there is a way of skipping the queue at Livraria Lello that…
When looking up potential day trips from Beijing, Nanjing is probably not the first place people would consider given it’s over 1,000km away. Located 300km away from Shanghai, it makes much more sense to visit as a day trip from Shanghai. However, it is entirely possible to do a day trip to Nanjing from Beijing…
After an adventurous day white water rafting at Victoria Falls, it was time to relax in the evening with a lovely sunset cruise on the Zambezi river. Like the white water rafting, this activity can be done on both the Zambian and Zimbabwean side of the Zambezi. It’s the exact same river, so again it…
When I was choosing my next destination for a trip, I noticed cheap flights to Nîmes in France. I’d never heard of Nîmes, but the first thing that came up when googling was loads of photos of the Roman sites in Nîmes. That was enough to convince me to go! I loved learning about the…
After a fantastic two nights at Etosha, it was time to start making our way South. Instead of heading straight to Swakopmund, we instead spent one night at Spitzkoppe to break up the journey. We arrived early in the afternoon giving us plenty of time to explore the fantastic landscape, with a relaxed start the…
Etosha national park in Namibia is a huge, 22,270 km2 national park containing hundreds of different species of animals. It definitely should not be missed when visiting Namibia, and although I only spent two nights at Etosha you could easily spend a lot longer there! The park is named after the Etosha salt pan which covers…
As I’d been spending a lot of time visiting cities, I decided I wanted to get out into the countryside more on my trip to Nîmes. I had plans to visit the Camargue, which would involve lots of nature, so decided a day trip to Pont du Gard would be a good option to combine…
On my trip to Nîmes, I decided I wanted to spend more time in nature, as I had spent a lot of my previous trips hopping around lots of cities. That meant that taking a day trip the the Camargue was ideal as it got me out of the city, and I got the opportunity…
