Flying to Australia: Time Travel
Travel Blog | December 11, 2011 | 0 Comments
Flying to Australia has provided us with two very very very very long days, with lots of waiting around. We managed on the whole to entertain ourselves and get through it, but it is not something you would want to do every week. I am glad we are taking our time getting back home and not […]
Emotions, excitement and a mysterious travel companion
Flashpacking Travel | December 8, 2011 | 0 Comments
Emotions are a funny old thing aren’t they. You can try and keep them all packaged up in a nice little box on a shelf but eventually they prise open the lid and jump out and begin to scratch away at your calm controlled exterior until the wounds are visible for all to see. The […]

Emotions, Lists and Packing
Travel Blog | December 2, 2011 | 2 Comments
Today’s post is brought to you by lists, emotions and packing Lists Are you a list person? I am.

Home or Away: Why I’ve succumbed to the travel bug For too many years than I care to remember, I’ve holidayed abroad over the Christmas and New Year period with my partner in crime – Craig. Having worked very hard all year, we’ve both enjoyed this quality time together. In the past, we’d chosen long haul travel destinations in […]

What does our visit to Essaouira bring us? Sea, sand, seagulls, more great food, an epic hunt for the only off licence in the village, a town layout you can navigate without a guide and a tale of two properties that’s what.

Our Backpacking Trip to Morocco starts in Chefchaouen Chefchaouen (or Chaouen as we fondly refer to this place) was as gentle introduction to Morocco as we had expected. It’s a beautiful town teetering on the edge of one of the Rif mountains, whose name escapes me for the moment. It has an interesting history in […]
