Of all the books in the world, the best stories are found between the pages of a passport.
We have been basing ourselves out of Saranda, Albania for the last few months and have been staying across the water to the island of Corfu. We have patiently been waiting for the ferry between Saranda and Corfu to start again. Finally, after nearly 18 months (due to covid), it reopened a couple weeks ago….
My UK visa was about to expire, so I (we) had to leave the country. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), at the time we started looking to travel several countries had started to go into lockdown again, which left us with only a few easy to get to countries – one of the options just happened…
While doing the North Coast 500 route we decided to take a side trip to Orkney Mainland. The couple days spent on the island were better than we expected. There is so much to see and do on the island – we really wish we would have planned more days to explore more of the…
Journey Details | 17 Days | 1243.1 Miles Since we were travelling from the south, and visiting other places on our way north, we started our NC500 journey from the west coast (Isle of Skye to Applecross). At the end of the route we headed southeast from Inverness, so we didn’t get a chance to…
We spent 14 nights on Koh Phangan island in Thailand. It was a great two weeks full of beaches, temples, and cool restaurants and bars. To get to Koh Phangan we flew into Koh Samui and arranged a ferry to the island. When we arrived in Koh Samui to discover that my bag did not…

While we were in Vanuatu the land diving was taking place on Pentecost island. The land diving ceremonies only happen for a few weeks a year, so we were fortunate to be in the country while it was happening. We decided to take the tour on our last day of our trip. We took a…
Ben and I were both really excited to visit Tanna. Based on our research this island seemed quite different to the other islands we were visiting this trip. The main attraction is the volcano – Mount Yasur. We decided to stay three nights in Tanna. The first two nights were spent near the volcano and…
During our trip to Vanuatu we wanted to see a few islands and get away from the usual tourist path. During our trip, we visited Espiritu Santo, Aore, Tanna, Pentecost, Epi, and Efate islands. Not bad coverage during our 10-day trip. We started by flying into Port Vila and had about an hour layover until…
We began our time in Vanuatu on the island of Aore. We stayed at Aore Island Resorts. The resort arranged transport for us from the airport in Luganvile. It was a short drive to the boat dock and then a 10 minute boat ride to the island. When we arrived at the resort we were…
