“Did I remember to contact the bank?” That’s probably one of the most important things not to forget. There are most likely various other to-do and to-pack lists running through your head in the days and hours leading up to your vacation. To make things a little easier, I’ve put together a list of things […]

Ko Phangan VS Ko Samui
If you’ve never been to the lovely islands on the south of the Gulf of Thailand, put them on your bucket list! Exploring the beautiful beaches, warm seas filled with tropical fish and Thai towns is a fantastic way to spend any vacation. There are three main islands that you could visit in the area. They […]
Twin Fin Surf, Tenerife
Earlier this year, I spent a few sunny and totally chilled out days on Tenerife at Twin Fin Surf & Yoga Camp. I got a lift from Los Cristianos ferry port, a little way up the west coast with the manager, Antonio. He’s a super guy, really friendly and easy to get along with. The […]
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 […]
Hiking at Knockomagh Hill
It’s summer – real summer; warm with blue skies. The perfect kind of day to get out of the city or try out a new hiking trail. Or maybe even one of those incredibly beautiful hikes you’ve done before. The lush, forested hike to the top of Knockomagh Hill near Baltimore in West Cork is […]
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 […]
Cows of Rishikesh
It was on my first trip to India for a Yoga Teacher’s Training Course that I encountered the cows. Even if you’ve never been to India, I’m pretty sure you’ve heard about the holy cows that live on the streets at their leisure. Nothing can really quite prepare you for the casual amount of cows […]
Packing for an Intercontinental Flight
Packing for a flight can be a tad challenging. It’s all about the little things. If you forget something small it could make your flight feel quite a bit longer – ugh. Being the right temperature on a flight is one of those things. Have you ever been too cold on a flight? I find […]
San Sebastián de la Gomera
When I happened to go to San Sebastián de la Gomera, it was siesta time (between 2pm and 5pm) so it felt a lot like a quiet Sunday. I recommend visiting well before 2pm and checking the place out in the evening as well. It’s a lovely little town to explore and chill out. If […]
Bosque de Los Tilos, La Palma
If you’re looking for massive ferns, old trees, steep ravines and waterfalls, you’ll find them on the forested northern side of La Palma. Bosque de Los Tilos is a great hike to put at the top of your “Walks to do” list. What I didn’t know was that the path to see the waterfalls is […]
