Visit America
In 2017, my friend Stuart and I flew out to America on Christmas day, to stay in Miami over the new year. We hired a Mercedes (we wanted to hire a mustang but it was $600 dollars a day) to drive out to Quay West for one night – the above photo was taken on…

Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen! We were in the process of doing up our house, and needed a weekend break away so we decided to visit our first Scandinavian country for our anniversary in March. It’s quite an expensive place, and you don’t need more than a long weekend in this beautiful city, but the air is…

We went for a long weekend break to Belgrade in August 2019, to soak up some sun and get away for a few days. The city has such a wide variety of culture – from old castles to ugly buildings from the communist era, which is both interesting and a little underwhelming . This was…

We began our June 2019 adventures in Dubrovnik, Croatia as part of a 2 week holiday covering Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro. These were our 5th, 6th and 7th countries together, and what we quite often describe as our favourite holiday so far. Dubrovnik was one of the most expensive cities we’ve been to.…

Cyprus
Our second holiday (and shot glass number 2) was Cyprus with Scott’s sister and her family. We went in October and at the time, she had three young children ages 5, 3 and 1 so we couldn’t travel too far, and Cyprus was the only place that gave us 12 days of sunshine. The country…

Luxembourg
This was our first holiday together, a long weekend in Luxembourg in September. The capital of Luxembourg is Luxembourg City, which isn’t very big at all (the country itself is roughly the size of London), however it sits on many levels. Transport We flew directly into Luxembourg airport from London Gatwick, which took us just…

With its beautiful scenery, lovely people and amazing food, there are so many reasons why Montenegro is our favourite place so far!
