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 […]
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 in my fluffy toweling robe and I’m ready to go. After a hectic day of ski lessons, my body needs some pampering. I was thankful I’d made an appointment that morning with Aegeo SPAS since I really needed some relaxing massage. Their Wellness and Beauty Centre at this Small Luxury Hotel takes up a major […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. Lavender-filled little flat cotton bags go under our pillows and give us each a relaxing night’s sleep. Since they originate from Athens […]
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 […]
As the snow forms a white blanket and lays softly on the grassy roadside edges, I gaze out of the window and realize that I am experiencing a dream come true. Just over two years ago we visited Meteora in October of 2014, and I have always wanted to return to see it when it […]
Meteoron Panorama Restaurant We had a really early start from Athens the day we arrived at Kalampaka, and so we walked through town from Hotel Alexiou it was a lovely stroll to the top end of the road just as it curves up the hill. Here we arrived at Meteoron Panorama Restaurant. We dined here last […]

However, as exciting as getting away is, there are nevertheless still hidden dangers. If you’re worried about keeping the whole family safe […]
Malta is an ‘exotic far-away location’ for most people in the world. Malta is also not thought of as your regular place to take a family vacation, but it is a great place for kids. There are family-friendly resorts, amazing kid-friendly restaurants and cafe’s, and loads of fun things for kids to do. Even if […]
Malta is probably the most colorful island I have visited on my world travels. I was mesmerized by the bold and bright colors against the white limestone. If you are a budding photographer or if photography is your passion, then I’d love to suggest you book a trip to Malta. We’ve just spent one whole […]
