    The best things to see and do in Gdansk, Poland

    April 23, 2026April 23, 2026 Europe

    Despite the soaring popularity of other Polish cities like Krakow and Warsaw, Gdansk still remains a bit of a hidden gem. It’s by no means completely under the radar, welcoming over half a million foreign tourists in 2024, but it’s still possible to grab moments here where you…

    Iceland is an epic road trip destination. There is stunning scenery at every turn. From volcanoes to iceberg lagoons, it truly earns its reputation as the land of ice and fire. Another thing it has in abundance is waterfalls (around 10,000 in total!). Some of the most unique…

    The Most Beautiful Waterfalls in Norway

    December 11, 2025December 11, 2025 Europe

    My favourite thing about Norway is just how accessible it is. Many of the most beautiful waterfalls in Norway, for example, can be seen directly from the road. There are rest stops and well maintained paths to others, and only with a few do you need to climb…

Olivia stands leaning against a wall, in front of some roman ruins. She's wearing a black and white dress, with a camera around her neck.

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.

📍Hayle, Cornwall Hey, do you remember when it was 📍Hayle, Cornwall
Hey, do you remember when it was sunny that one time for a couple of days? 
The rain and wind may be back in full force this week but at least we have our memories, eh? 😅
Anyway, before it HOPEFULLY brightens up again, I’ve been scrolling through videos of this lovely solo date in Hayle. Started with coffee and vegan brekkie at the terrific @gilberts_hayle and made my way along the coast path overlooking the beach. Picked up a second coffee at @covecafehaylebeach before heading down onto the sand and back into town. 
I’m always surprised this area isn’t busier. It’s as if people go straight through Hayle to get to St Ives when really there are some great food spots and beautiful views here too!

📍Holywell Well what a gorgeous couple of days we a 📍Holywell
Well what a gorgeous couple of days we are having 🥰. I’d be lying if I said this photo was from this weekend though - Matt and I stay way clear of the coast during half term! Beauty spots like this are only enjoyable to me when they’re empty or close to it 😅
Anyway, hope you all made the most of the weather with some combination of the British bank holiday trifecta; BBQ, beach and beer! 😂

📍Holwell Lawn I have wanted to see these bluebells 📍Holwell Lawn
I have wanted to see these bluebells fields for a long time. Although the weather wasn’t the best this weekend, the bluebells were at their peak so it was now or never (well, now or next year, technically!) 
We got here early on Sunday morning and had the place mostly to ourselves. That dramatic view of Haytor in the distance really added to the magic. 
Will have to revisit next time on a sunny day and do the walk to Emsworthy Mire.
Any excuse to come back to Dartmoor…. 😉
