Edinburgh Cocktail Week

So it turns out last years Cocktail Weekend was such a big hit that this years event turned into a week long affair running from the 15th-21st of October. There were over 80 bars around the capital involved this year’s festival, offering a variety of creative and unusual cocktails for only £4 each for wristband… Read More Edinburgh Cocktail Week

La Paz, Bolivia – Is it really worth visiting?

On paper La Paz is . . . How should I put it? A bit of a dump. The streets are filled with rubbish, the traffic is horrendous and LOUD, you can physically taste the pollution, there is seldom not a protest of some sort taking place and it’s all just very hectic! Doesn’t really… Read More La Paz, Bolivia – Is it really worth visiting?

A solo trip to Nice, France

Most people would probably find the idea of going on holiday alone ridiculous- but I love it. Although I’m a pretty social person I also enjoy my own company a lot! I like how relaxed you can be when your on your own, you don’t have to take anyone else’s opinions or preferences into consideration… Read More A solo trip to Nice, France

A weekend on Islay

My grandparents used to live on Islay, my auntie had a house here, and I came here a lot as a kid – so coming back as an adult (or as close to an ‘adult’ as I am) was a pretty nostalgic trip. It was nice to revisit places I have vauge memories of and… Read More A weekend on Islay

A taste of  Patigonia – Bariloche, Argentina

They say your either a beach person or a mountain person. Well I’m a beach girl through and through – I love the heat, I love tanning for hours on end, I love swimming in the ocean (as long as there isn’t too many big fish!), I love cocktails in the sun. Being from Scotland… Read More A taste of  Patigonia – Bariloche, Argentina

Whale Watching in Puerto Madryn – Argentina

If you love wildlife Puerto Madryn will be the top destinations on your ‘to see’ list when visiting Argentina. So far it is has been one of the highlights of my whole trip and a memory I will never forget! Depending on the time of year you visit, it’s possible to see penguins, sea lions,… Read More Whale Watching in Puerto Madryn – Argentina

My guide to a quick trip to Uruguay

We hadn’t initially planned to visit Uruguay – to be honest before I came I didn’t know a single thing about the country! With neighbours like Brazil and Argentina that are such well known and desirable destinations it tends to be overlooked, but as we were so close we thought we may as well pop… Read More My guide to a quick trip to Uruguay

My Backpacking Beauty Essentials for Staying Young

Travelling in your late 20s is a lot different to traveling in your early 20s. Not only do you have different priorities and see things from a different perspective; it also has a different effect on you pysically. When I was younger I could party all night and get up after only a couple of… Read More My Backpacking Beauty Essentials for Staying Young

Buenos Aires – Argentina

Our next stop after visiting Iguazu Falls was the capital of Argentina, Buenos Aires. We were really looking forward to this as so many people had told us we would love it and how amazing it is! I’m going to be controversial here and probably shock a few people, but I didn’t love BA. I… Read More Buenos Aires – Argentina

Iguazu Falls (part 2) – The Argentinian Side

Its my first day in Argentina and also my first day of straightening my hair since we left home 4 weeks ago! It feels so nice not to have a full on lions mane on my head! Yesterday we said a sad farewell to Brazil, but we are excited for the next part of the… Read More Iguazu Falls (part 2) – The Argentinian Side
