I feel like this is going to be a hard post to write. Normally I try to give details about what a city is like but somehow, La Paz is almost like an indescribable city. I could write as many adjectives as a thesaurus can provide me or I could add as many pictures as […]

Potosí and Sucre
Our stay in Potosí was short and sweet as we’d had to change our itinerary after the drama in Salta but I think the more I see of Bolivia, the more I love it! Whenever I haven’t heard of a place, I assume it’s a small little town. Potosí has proved me very wrong! Potosí […]
Uyuni: The Most Beautiful Place on Earth
I mentioned in my last post that Cafeyate was like geographical porn but as we’ve moved up through Uyuni and the Andes and into Bolivia, it has just got better and better! Warning: there are a LOT of pictures in this post! After the disaster of the landslide, we had to change our route and […]
The Unplanned Return to Salta…
For those of you who know me well, you’ll know that I don’t enjoy long bus journeys etc so I wasn’t particularly looking forward to the 12 hour bus ride to Chile but this 12 hour journey turned into 30 hours of drama and an experience I’ll never forget. We left our hotel in Salta […]
¡Buenos Días Buenos Aires!
Stop number 1 of our around the world adventure has not disappointed. At first, Buenos Aires felt to me like it could be any other Spanish city but as time went on, we got a bit deeper in and saw the true side to South America’s cultural capital. Our flight here was a bit mental. […]
Photoblog: The Vatican City
Although Ancient Rome was around well before the arrival of Christianity, the word “Vatican” was used even then to describe the area that is now The Vatican City (officially the State of Vatican City). The most obvious thing that people know about the Vatican City is that it is the home of the Pope and […]
When in Rome…
As the gloomy British winter looms outside, I can’t help but dream about one of the best cities I’ve ever visited: Rome. I went to Rome in Summer 2015 with my favourite human in the would: my mummy! Neither of us had ever been to Italy before but always wanted to and as I […]
Interrailing: Florence and Pisa
My love for Italy continues. My blog begins like a dramatic action movie. 3 girls on a mission to get from Venice to Florence. The scene starts at 7.30am waiting at the wrong water bus stop. A man approaches. He tells us to go on the other side where we can already see the boat […]
Interrailing: Venice (Top 10)
I’m in love with Italy. I think I have been for a while now although the first time I went to Italy was earlier this summer. I love the food, the people, the climate, the buildings and after this trip, I really love the ease of a country being in the euro! I’m amazed we’ve […]
Interrailing: Pula
As I mentioned in my last blog post, we’ve had a very few stressful days and our time in Pula had to be cut a lot shorter. In reality, we just about had an evening and then a day! We arrived tired and miserable but luckily Pula is a very pretty little Croatian town. We […]
