    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…

    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…

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.

📍Buttermere, Lake District I really loved photogra 📍Buttermere, Lake District
I really loved photographing people enjoying the water on our visit to the Lakes. Boats, canoes, kayaks…they all make for great photo subjects as they show the scale of the surrounding landscape.
Buttermere was my favourite place as it was removed from the chaos of the Eastern and Southern lakes, and it reminded me a lot of the Canadian Rockies 🇨🇦 Minus the bears, thankfully!

📍Fowey to Polruan Went for a little wander around 📍Fowey to Polruan
Went for a little wander around Fowey on Saturday and it was beautiful but busy so caught the Bodinnick Ferry across the water, to do the 4 mile Hall Walk hike to Polruan. Saw maybe 3 people the entire walk and had lovely views the entire way. So if you are looking to ditch the crowds this summer this is one I recommend. Although no one told me how much elevation gain there would be; I was a bit of a sweaty mess by the time I reached Polruan! 
After a quick pint in @luggerinnpolruan it was just a hop skip and a jump across on the ferry back to Fowey ❤️

When the weather is like this you could be forgiven for thinking you’re in the Mediterranean rather than this little corner of Cornwall 💙
