    If you’ve been in the UK recently you know the weather isn’t exactly playing ball at the moment. The South West in particular hasn’t had a single day without any rain since the start of 2026. That is a LOT of rain. There have been storms battering our…

    How to spend the perfect day in Falmouth

    January 29, 2026January 31, 2026 Cornwall

    Falmouth is a well known tourist destination in Cornwall. But it’s still one of my favourite towns in the county. I chock this up to the creative, buzzy vibe (partly thanks to the high student population here and in nearby Penryn). But also its numerous pubs and restaurants,…

    6 things to see and do around Bodmin Moor, Cornwall

    December 18, 2025December 18, 2025 Cornwall

    If you are anything like me then the term ‘the moors’ will stir up mental images of foggy, boggy wastelands where people get murdered, or catch hypothermia. This is no doubt down to the various films and novels set in this kind of environment. Hound of the Baskervilles…

Hi, welcome! I'm Liv and I love exploring my local area, as well as adventuring around the rest of the UK and Europe, usually joined by my husband Matt, and pup, Merlin.

If affordable, bite size travel and the occasional campervan roadtrip sound like your kind of thing then stick around and let's explore together.

📍Gdansk. A very quick recap of a very quick couple 📍Gdansk.
A very quick recap of a very quick couple of days showing the in-laws around my favourite Polish city. As it was April the weather was a little grey, but it’s still a gorgeous place. We came, we saw, we ate pierogi. What more could you want from a city break?

Another couple of photos from my favourite bit of Another couple of photos from my favourite bit of coastline down here in Cornwall. Pendeen lighthouse was built in 1900 which means the miners working at Levant Mine would have witnessed its construction on their way underground. They would have likely also witnessed a shipwreck or two which made the lighthouse necessary in the first place. Did you know that the Cornish coast has the highest number of wrecks on the entire British Isles? The number is somewhere over 6000 across 800 years. Hence the number of lovely lighthouses and daymarkers dotted along the coastline today!

📍Barbican Estate, London Just having a bit of fun 📍Barbican Estate, London
Just having a bit of fun photographing shapes at this iconic spot. Brutalist architecture can be beautiful if done right. For once I actually wanted there to be people around so I could photograph them amongst the buildings, but I swear we saw 1 person in an hour. And it was FREEZING, so not the day to hang around. Gives me an excuse to come back ☺️
