Perfect Swimming Choices – All Day And Night In Zanzibar

Imagine cooling off in your own private pool before bedtime. Swimming under the stars in cool water was a just luxury for Explorason.   The warm Zanzibar night breeze wafted gently up from the Indian Ocean.

Family Fun on Spice Island Zanzibar Tanzania

Relaxing in Zanzibar Tanzania at Bahari View Lodge

As our plane descends over Zanzibar Island, my son is just SO excited! He loves the East Coast of Africa, and it has been 18 months since we first discovered it for ourselves. Now, after just finishing our time in Jordan, we will have time to slow down a little. It had taken nearly 24 […]

Top Ten Things To Do With Kids In Jordan

Jordan is amazing, and for us, it felt completely safe for family travel. We just spent eight nights in Jordan, and I really wish we had longer. There is so much to see and do for families, and parents can have a great time too.  As a single Mum, I am really conscious of traveling […]

The Most Affordable Luxury Ski Resort in Europe ???

In 2014 we discovered the Bulgarian ski slopes, and we fell in love. Nestled in the outer area of Bansko, this resort faced the Pirin Mountain range, and it wasn’t just the area we fell in love with, but more so where we stayed. Premier Luxury Mountain Resort is probably one of the loveliest places we […]

I’m 55 years old (yes I’m getting old), and I first learned to ski in Australia when I was sixteen years old as an agile teenager. Firstly, YES, they do have snow in Australia! Secondly, I’ll let you in on a secret – I used to be OK, but I lost my nerve, and now […]

The Invisible Dangers Of Travel In Macedonia

Two years ago Explorason and I went to enter the country of Macedonia in our UK registered vehicle, but when we passed the second border check they tried to charge us an incredible amount for the vehicle to enter, so we had to turn around and leave, and we went to Kosovo instead. Having now […]

Sleep On Nature At Coco-Mat In Athens Greece

We’ve been traveling the world now for over four years, and since 2014 there have been a couple of items that have traveled the world with us. These are our Coco-Mat Aromatherapy Pillow-sachets.

A New Hotel Made From Old Pieces Athens Greece

We all know recycling is important, but when we entered the NEW Hotel in Athens Greece, we were shocked as they have taken recycling to a whole new level. Why? Because the walls, as well as a lot of the furniture and fixtures, are made from the antique and ancient wood that they were scrapping […]
