It has to be one of my favourite places in Cornwall – St Ives. I’m not sure quite what appealed to me about this place rather than many of the other villages in the area, but there’s something quite special about it. It has a great vibe, small enough to walk round on foot and […]

We’ve always home educated our kids but over the years it definitely morphed in to something that is known as worldschooling. After 18 years we’ve finally come to the end of our home educating and worldschooling journey so I though now would be a good time to recap and share on how it worked out […]

If you’re planning a trip on Route 66 then it’s pretty likely that it’s history is one of the big draws for you. We’re looking today at the historic hotels on Route 66 that you really cannot miss on your journey. Many of them are locally owned – known as Mom and Pop motels – […]
There’s a new and popular driving route in Scotland called the NC500, North Coast 500, which some even say is like Scotland’s Route 66. I’m not so sure on that one since we’ve driven both now, but if it works to boost tourism in the area then I guess it’s worth it! What Scotland’s north […]
If you haven’t already seen part one of the campervan conversion series then head here to see how we chose a van and prepped it ready for the interior. The prep work definitely felt a bit boring, a bit safe and didn’t do too much to change the van from how it was originally looking. […]

Every so often I feel like I should give a bit of an update as to what we’re doing on this site. This blog is 6 years old now and things have definitely changed over the years! In the past we’ve tried out a number of different ways to travel. Our first stint of travelling […]
When we decided to spend Christmas in Paris I knew that one of the best things for me to do would be to attend a service at at the Notre Dame Cathedral. It just seemed the perfect way to end Christmas Eve in Paris and I was completely right. It was such a magical experience […]
Spending Christmas in Manhattan is such an exciting thing to do. It seems to have been captured in so many movies and I’ll be honest, if I was to spend the holiday season anywhere in the world away from home it would be in NYC. Funnily enough it was our first taste of Christmas away […]
Ever since the Eurostar route opened up way back in 1994 (I was 15!) I always wanted to just hop on a train and go to Paris (and the rest of Europe – let’s not forget!). For some reason I’ve never managed to do this trip even when I did my InterRailing as a […]
