When it comes to travel in Colombia, one of the top places to visit is Colombia’s coffee region also known as the coffee triangle. While I don’t drink coffee, I was more than happy to head up to the mountains for a few days after hot and humid Cartagena. Part of me was sad to…
Brazil was my 65th country and somewhere I was incredibly excited about. At the same time, despite all my travel experience, I found planning my trip to Brazil daunting. I received countless warnings about safety and the country itself is massive which made it hard to plan when I had a limited amount of time.…
The capital of Argentina is best known for steak dinners and dancing the Tango, but Buenos Aires is a very big city with a rich history and varied neighbourhoods to explore. I’ve been twice now so here are my suggestions on how to best spend 3 days in Buenos Aires. How to get to Buenos…
Located at the tip of Argentina, Ushuaia is known as “Fin del Mundo” which translates to the end of the world. It’s a port town, most visited by individuals boarding an expedition cruise to Antarctica, which is exactly what led me here. To be honest, I didn’t expect much from Ushuaia. But I was pleasantly…

I’ve made it no secret about how much I love European Christmas Markets, especially those in Germany and Austria. I have a million reasons why but I’d be lying if I said that the gluhwein wasn’t one of them. Which is funny, because back in 2011, when I first visited European Christmas markets, I didn’t…
I like to joke that I was a way cooler traveller when I first started. Which is funny because I was significantly less experienced than I am now. However, at that time, I had to rely on paper maps to get around; data roaming abroad was way too expensive, and eSIMs didn’t exist. Today, however,…
Vienna is one of the most magical places in Europe to visit during the festive season. Here are my top picks for what to do in Vienna at Christmas.
When I was travelling around Europe for the Christmas Markets I expected to see plenty of Santas and maybe a few elves and reindeer. What I didn’t expect to find was a giant, hairy, devil-looking creature known as Krampus; essentially a Christmas demon who has his own celebration called Krampusnacht or Krampus Run. This event…
