Barcelona is not only a beautiful city, it’s funky, bustling, alive. It’s the biggest city in Spain and the capital of Catalonia. Because there’s so much going on and so many things to see in Barcelona, you’re bound to enjoy a trip to this metropolis. We caught the train in from near our campsite which saved us […]

Camping in Catalonia
About three hours after driving over the beautiful Pyrenees, we arrived our second campsite to do some camping in Catalonia. It was situated about an hour’s drive south of the big port city, Barcelona. We wanted to visit both Barcelona and Tarragona, so we picked a campsite in between the two cities in Catalonia. […]
Crossing the Pyrenees
Between France and Spain, a beautiful mountain range joins the Atlantic to the Mediterranean. The first time I went to the Pyrenees was back in 2008, for a spontaneous weekend camping trip. Already much in love with France at that point, I was delighted with the discovery of this landscape. I didn’t actually know that the Pyrenees were […]
A Walk Through Saint-Jean-de-Luz
Saint-Jean-de-Luz has one of those sunny, shimmering, colourful harbours that you’ll see in guidebooks and think: Now that looks really lovely. That’s how it got onto my itinerary anyway. This wonderfully-quaint old town has a lot of water. Various rivers meet the sea here and the view of the sea from the sandy bay stretches […]
Exploring Beautiful Bordeaux
After exploring Bayonne, Espelette and the biggest sand dune in Europe, our next little outing was to the beautiful city of Bordeaux! In 2008 I had lived in Bordeaux for about a month or so and I sort of got to know my way around. I just had to go back to this charming French city […]
Bayonne, Enter Basque Country
After leaving Paris and stopping over in Tours for an aimless wander around, we camped over in the town of Dax. From there we took a 40 minute drive south to check out Bayonne. This is pretty much Basque Country. I had been to Bayonne years before and remembered it as being a cool […]
A Day in Galway
No one really every told me why I should visit Galway. “Galway is lovely,” they said, “you’ll like it.” After living in Ireland for more than a year, I decided that a bank holiday weekend was a good a time to see the lovely city of Galway. My reason for going? I wanted to see Achill […]
200 Hour Yoga Teacher’s Training
In the spirit of adventure and for the love of yoga, I booked return tickets to Delhi, India for a 200 hour Yoga Teacher’s Training Course in Rishikesh earlier this year. The town is based near the Himalayas and the source of the Ganges, in the north of India. Rishikesh is known as the World […]
Street Food in Rishikesh
I was in India in March and April for a Yoga Teacher’s Training Course. The weather was great and there were very few flies or mosquitoes but I missed out on mango season. Even so there was still so much juicy fruit available to buy in the streets of Rishikesh! Chai is a daily necessity and sampling […]
La Gomera
For a about a week, I worked remotely on the island of La Gomera at a little place in a barranco called La Mangita. I had a little apartment to myself with views over the valley, mountains, trees and the cliffs from my balcony. To maximise my daylight hours, I woke up at sunrise and […]
