Chichen Itza & Playa del Carmen | Mexico
Playa del Carmen is an interesting one to write about. I nearly wasn’t going to bother at all, since I wrote about it last time I was there, and there’s honestly not that much to see and do.…
Merida | Mexico
Arriving in Merida late the night before after the long drive from Palenque, and only venturing out the hotel for food, didn’t exactly let us see much of the town right away! But that theme did sort of continue throughout…
Palenque | Mexico
To put it bluntly, Palenque is a pain in the arse to get to. It’s a long drive from whichever other location you’re coming from. This post cover two days out of our trip, and at least half of each…
San Cristobal de las Casas | Mexico

Travel Inspiration – Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico
So if you’ve been around on this blog at all this year, you’ll likely remember that I went travelling through Central America for a month back in June – if this is news to you, I suggest you…
Hawaii Short Break
I feel like I’ve seen images of Hawaii for as long as I can remember, thanks to the number of movies that feature it. Honestly, it wasn’t super high on my bucket list, as I associated it with over-tourism and…
4 Days in Yosemite National Park | USA
Towering mountains of stone, tumbling waterfalls dancing with rainbows, endless crystal lakes and giant, ancient sequoia trees. Yosemite might just be a little slice of paradise! One of the earliest National Parks in the USA, thanks in part to Scotsman…
