    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…

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.

📍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 💙

📍Nanjizal Bay An embarrassing admission: it took m 📍Nanjizal Bay
An embarrassing admission: it took me 6.5 years of living in Cornwall to finally visit Nanjizal Bay and see the famous ‘song of the sea’ rock arch.
It’s a bit of a remote spot, sure, but it’s not difficult to get to. The walk from Land’s End takes around 45mins although you’ll need plenty of time for photo stops because this section of the coast path is STUNNING 😍
There was only a handful of people around (even in July!) which was lovely. As always if you visit make sure to take any and all rubbish with you and keep our wild spaces beautiful 💙💚
