Victoria Falls – one of the great wonders of the World

Since we were travelling around Botswana, hopping over the border into Zambia to see Victoria Falls seemed like a no-brainer. After all, it’s the largest waterfall in the world by water volume. We might know it as Victoria Falls, but the Tokaleya people name for this mighty waterfall Mosi-oa Tunya or The Smoke That Thunders

10 things to see and do in Tallinn

I had heard so many good things about Tallinn before travelling there so my expectations were really high. Unfortunately, it didn’t quite live up to them. I think it would have, maybe, 10 years ago. However, now it has become so touristy, it has taken away a lot of the charm and that feeling of

What travel is to me…

I often here people say to me: “Oh, I would love to travel too, if I had the money. But since I don’t… Oh, well!” I get very frustrated by that statement. For starters, we save every penny back at home so that we could buy airline tickets! And that is not what travel is to

The Golden Circle, Iceland

Iceland’s most well-known and popular tourist attraction, except for the Blue Lagoon, The Golden Circle deserves its fame. And not just because it is easily accessible from Reykjavik. Volcanoes, geysers, waterfalls, history and a chance to walk between Europe and North America are the main reasons why tourists flock here. And we were no exception. Since

Boat ride on the Okavango

    I have always known Okavango Delta to be one of the last great wildernesses in Africa. Up there with the Serengeti. So my expectations were high when we finally reached it. And I wasn’t disappointed. Whilst an absolute must-do in Okavango is a ride on the mokoro canoe, a far more comfortable way

Waddling around Northern Ireland

As my daughter is preparing to finish her first year of school, I am feeling a bit melancholic. And I find myself thinking more and more about the time when I was pregnant with her and our very short babymoon in Northern Island. We chose Northern Island as it was easy for us to get to and

Our Honeymoon in Kenya

With all the recent issues that have plagued Kenya, it’s good to remind myself as well as others what still makes it a great place to visit. Although our honeymoon in Kenya was almost 8 years ago, it was one of our most memorable trips to Africa. And here is why: 1.Our hotel, Pappillion Lagoon

Exploring bogs in Estonia

Soomaa National Park is located in south-west Estonia. The park protects raised bogs, flood plains, grasslands and forests. And it is absolutely stunning! This was our first stop on our trip around Estonia. When we arrived at our hotel by Soomaa, it poured down. But, as we only had that day to enjoy the bogs,

A day trip to Monaco

As we were travelling around France on a budget, whilst sleeping in our car with a two-year-old (we are insane, right?), staying overnight in Monaco was out of the question. But I was really eager to visit it on our way through the area, even if it was just for a few hours. And I

In Search of the Northern Lights. Days 3-6

Every day that we spent in Iceland, I woke up in wonder, eager to see what more this incredible country can offer. Each day being impressed by it more and more. The 2nd of January was spent driving the fjords of East Iceland. They really go on forever – there seemed to be no end to
