Bohemian Baby
We knew very little about the Bahamas, other than a playground of celebs and well – “swimming pigs”! I shall have more to say about them later. The Exumas’ crystal-clear waters are perfect for sailing and fishing, as well as an assortment of water sports. Travellers in search of a secluded slice of paradise can…

Baby Its Cold Outside
New Zealanders have always classed the Canadians as their friendly counterparts. Both countries have distinctively stunning scenery and nature, particularly mountains, lakes and glaciers. So, as a kiwi, I needed to make this comparison for myself. We were heading for Whistler, the holy grail of snow villages. Our home in Queenstown, NZ, is a popular…

Está volao – CUBA
Lock and I had huge talks about visiting Havana, intrigued about this old island. Our fascination grew more after our friends shared their experience of salsa nights and Cuban sandwiches.

Jetpack
I recently read a discussion on the world schoolers Facebook page regarding items travelling families take away with them, and nifty ideas of how to reduce their load. This brings me to Riley’s jetpack, basically our life changing must haves!! We have already lost two bags, accidentally checked in nappies, brought chemist items in airports…

Flight Mode
Chicken, fish, cold instant coffee and a meal older than the the queen, mix in grumpy tired pax expecting you make their seat larger, recline further and remove the gum from their tray table. Here I was thinking my inflight days were now only those of bloody Mary’s and a movie marathon, I couldn’t…

Sigiriya
We stayed near by at Aliya Resort Our new love country! Why -The humble people, beauty and simplicity.. We travelled from Colombo by private driver to the ancient rock fort, from afar the mound seemed impossible to climb especially with 12kgs of dead weight. As we loomed closer the sweat began to trickle, the crowds…
