We like to save you time and money by sharing in-depth travel itineraries of our trips, including all the details about where we stayed, what we did, where we ate, how we got around and how much it all cost. I’m a geek when it comes to planning and love nothing more than finding unforgettable experiences around the world. I love places that have a story behind them or simply knock you off your feet with their beauty – be they little coffee shops, friendly guesthouses, or hidden nooks within the city. I find places that are cosy, creative, unique, and sometimes bohemian, hipster or green.
These itineraries are packed full of those experiences, and will help you to get the best out of your trip. We also have guides to some of the specials places to stay around the world, including hip, boutique hotels, best AirBnBs and glamping places.

Our New Zealand road trip was one of the best things we’ve ever done. It was partly due to how unexpected the trip was, but most of all it was down to the sheer magnificence of New Zealand itself. For such a small country, the abundance of natural diversity is extraordinary. From snow-capped mountains to glowworm … Read more
Mexico City is a place that stole our hearts and made us realise our love for Mexico goes beyond the village of San Pancho. The laidback pace of Mexico suits us and despite being one of the world’s largest cities, we found Mexico City both manageable and charming. This was largely due to where we … Read more

Dublin, home to some of the world’s friendliest people, the best pubs, and a fascinating 1000-year history. It’s a place to go for a good time and a slice of the famous Irish craic.
