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…
Buenos Aires is a big city. Full of noise and people. It’s a fun atmosphere to experience for a few days but if you find yourself needing a change of pace and a change of scenery then consider visiting Colonia Del Sacramento. This historical town in Uruguay is the complete opposite of Buenos Aires. A…
The first time I went to Antarctica was 2023. I had 18 months to plan for it and I still scrambled last minute panicking what I should or shouldn’t bring. I learned a lot over those 11 days so when I went back in 2025 for a 23-day expedition I was much better prepared. So…
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…
When it comes to European Christmas markets, Tallinn isn’t even close to the top of the list of cities that people recommend. Typically, places like Vienna, Nuremberg, and Strasbourg pop up quickly. But Tallinn? Well, I’ve found that many people don’t even know where it is. Which, to be honest, might be a good thing,…
Ah Paris. The city of light. The city of love. It’s a favourite destination for many and for good reason. The capital of France is not only beautiful to explore but offers plenty and see to do. From wandering through local neighbourhoods to discovering the treasures of world-famous museums. Not to mention the food scene,…
I love Paris and I love Christmas, so getting to see Paris at Christmas was pretty, well, magical. I’m no stranger to exploring Europe during the Christmas season. After all, Europe’s Christmas markets are basically my version of Disneyworld. But, there’s something about the way that Paris does the Christmas season. It’s just that little…
