Visiting Morocco for the first time last year was something of an eye opener. See, Lloyd had always wanted to visit but I wasn’t fully sold. Eventually, I caved in and we grabbed a couple of friends and headed over to Morocco somewhere between assignments and piles of coursework I had back at Cambridge University. […]

Choosing where to go skilling can be a tricky old thing – after all, it’s fundamentally snow and mountains… plus there are just soooooo many places to choose from! The more you ski though, the more you start to pick up on the subtle difference between the different types of ski resorts and start to […]

Let’s be honest, Europe is awash with thousands of pretty little villages to explore, but there are always those select few that really stand out. One of the things I love most about Europe is how diverse our continent is. After all, no two countries are the same and you’re really spoilt for choice when […]

Then the planning starts and you realize there are dozens of islands with no obvious way to compare them. Capri? Sicily? That volcanic one with the famous eruptions? The Sardinia place with […]

Most people planning a trip to Brittany make the same mistake: they put Mont Saint-Michel on their itinerary. That abbey is in Normandy. It sits on the Normandy side of the border, and Bretons will politely — or not so politely — correct you on that. Start by getting the geography right, because Brittany itself […]
