Our trips around the world…
After our classes finished earlier than expected, and our visa renewals went through without a hitch, we suddenly found ourselves on holiday two weeks ahead of schedule. So we decided to head to Korea and Guangzhou to catch up with some friends—and tack on a few days in Hong Kong for good measure.Getting back to... Continue Reading →
On our way home, we booked a three-day stopover in Doha with Qatar Airways. It was something of an afterthought—a nice little add-on, but not something we’d planned with much anticipation. That made it all the more surprising when it turned out to be an incredibly interesting stop.Doha is a fascinating city, striking a balance... Continue Reading →
Shit: meet fan.A few travel delays due to weather ended up breaking Will— literally. Let me explain…The day before we were due to leave Larnaca, I tweaked my back. Naturally, it happened while doing something incredibly heroic—putting on my socks. An old rugby injury has left my lower back forever dodgy, and this time it... Continue Reading →
After everything that happened after Cyprus, our memories of the country itself are unfortunately a bit hazy. We rented a car to make the most of it, covering Limassol, Paphos, and Larnaca in our loop.Limassol and Larnaca felt, oddly, like miniature versions of England. Almost everyone we saw seemed to be English, slathered in layers... Continue Reading →
Santorini had long been on Sam’s bucket list, so it felt only right to head there for her birthday. We treated ourselves to a swanky hotel perched above the caldera—though to be fair, almost every hotel in Santorini has a caldera view. The price? A surprisingly modest €50 a night, a far cry from the... Continue Reading →
It’s funny how life works. One minute you’re doing your thing—living your life, working, travelling—then suddenly, everything changes.The events of 2020 hit us just as hard as they did most people. After returning to Hong Kong from a trip home, we found ourselves stranded when the border to mainland China closed. Hoping it was temporary,... Continue Reading →
It's very difficult to convey to others how driving is in other countries. It's completely dependant on what each person is used to, where they've driven, and how they've been taught. That being said, I felt like I'd give it a go. I love driving. In my 20s, I'd go for a drive every chance... Continue Reading →
The drive from Olympia to Delphi was another stunner. Once we had crossed the Gulf of Corinth we had a stop in Nafpaktos for a wander and some lunch before carrying on along the gorgeous coastline on a beautiful day. Like Olympia, we were a little surprised at how small Delphi was. It was a... Continue Reading →
Unlike our drive from Nafplio to Sparti, the next drive to Olympia was relatively uneventful and we arrived in Olympia on a cold and rainy day, 2 hours before our agreed meeting time with the guesthouse owner. In that 2 hours we started exploring the town. 5 minutes later, we had finished. Oh dear. We... Continue Reading →
