It should come as no secret that Kylee and I are huge fans of wine. We’ve tasted wine all around the world, travelled to dozens of wine regions and have even worked in wineries. So during our time in Moldova, taking in some of the incredible wine the country is producing was a must. Moldova is a tiny, landlocked country in Eastern Europe. Wedged between Romania and Ukraine, it’s rarely on the radar of most travellers. But whether you’re a …
One of the reasons we really stayed in Romania for as long as we did, was to discover some of the lesser visited destinations. Targu Mures is one of those great little finds. Like most cities in Transylvania, there is a rich blend of Romanian and Hungarian history, and fantastic architecture with it. Though we only had two days to discover what to do in Targu Mures, the tease was enough to show how underrated this city really is! Especially …
#1 – Passport Having a passport is the first thing you need when travel planning and wanting to cross borders into another country. Make sure to apply for a passport at least a month (preferably several) before your trip to make sure it arrives with plenty of time before your trip. Getting the picture taken is a feat in itself. There needs to be no glare, no smile, no smirk and exactly correct. If the passport office finds one tiny …
As you arrive in town and make your way to your AirBnb, you get excited to spend some time in new destination. The adventurer in you is ready to explore, but as the cab brings you to the area you notice your new surroundings. The neighbourhood looks pretty dodgy and you start to question what the hell you booked. As the taxi drives away, you knock on the door and the host answers. You’re brought into your booked accommodation and …

Booking the Perfect AirBNB The Basic Information First research the city you’re visiting so you know exactly where you want to stay. This step …
Long gone are the days of paper maps, internet cafes and pay-by-the-minute phone booths. Today, nearly everyone is connected wherever they go. There are multiple industries revolving around travel tech. There’s WiFi on Mt Everest! Although the extra bit of gear might be considered cumbersome or unnecessary to some backpackers, to the rest, it’s part of the evolution of travel. Whether you’re working remotely or just curious as to what electronics a travel blogger requires, here is our digital nomad …
I’ve been working on this list for around eleven years. What I mean, is that in those years I’ve travelled through many different climates, often on the same trip. Sometimes carrying too much; occasionally a bit too little. Over the years, through much trial and error, I’ve learned what must be packed; and more importantly, what can be left behind. Finally, over the last 18 months, through 17 counties with temperatures ranging from -12°C to +38°C, I’ve finally figured out …

Cutting corners or booking in a crappy area will make you feel uncomfortable and that is definitely not what you want on your trip. So follow these steps to finding the best accommodation. Which type of accommodation are you looking for? Hotel You’ll find anything …
Writing a review on AirBNB is one of the most important aspects of the experience. Not so much for you or the host; but future visitors. This post is a little about how to write a proper AirBNB review to help out other travellers. Most think of the review as a rating for the host, and while this is partially true, it’s really to help out future guests. Helping to correct any misinformation, or better yet, add some fine details …
