To tell you the truth, I knew very little about Sri Lanka. My knowledge of its people, culture, history, nature and cuisine were all pretty much made up of a vague patchwork of news articles and distant conversations. Because of this, I hadn’t really considered travelling there. It just simply wasn’t on my radar. But […]

Photo a Day Project: Weekly Round-up #42
In this week’s round-up of our ‘photo a day project’, we take a holiday. ;) Visiting two of Croatia’s most renowned World Heritage sites, Plitvice Lakes and later on the week, Dubrovnik. As unusual as it may sound, travelling and holidaying isn’t always one and the same. So, on occasions we like to just ‘switch […]
Photo a Day Project: Weekly Round-up #41
In this week’s round-up of our ‘photo a day project’, we were reminded that Instagram was celebrating its 4th birthday with the tenth Worldwide Instameet and, upon discovery that a meet hadn’t already been planned, we set out to organise and lead our own. Little did we know how much coverage and support we’d get […]
Photo a Day Project: Weekly Round-up #40
In this week’s round-up of our ‘photo a day project’, we continue to relish the slower pace of the gorgeous coastal town of Split, Croatia.

We then head north to the wonderfully scenic Lake Bled, where hiking, rowing and general fresh air enjoyment is the order of the day. Here’s what we got up […]
Photo a Day Project: Weekly Round-up #37
In this week’s round-up of our ‘photo a day project’, we go from one of the most famous sightseeing cities in the world to one we had never heard of. Given our recent slew of posts pondering why many less frequented cities don’t get the recognition they deserve, you can probably guess which one we […]
Photo a Day Project: Weekly Round-up #36
In this week’s round-up of our ‘photo a day project’, we make our way north to Tuscany and, using the Renaissance city of Florence as a base, we track down some of the world’s most recognised monuments and artworks. Here’s what we got up to this week! ~ August 25th 2014. Ponte Vecchio. After our […]
Photo a Day Project: Weekly Round-up #35
In this week’s round-up of our ‘photo a day project’, we purchase new hiking boots and immediately put them to the test by walking across a border into another country and back. Of course this other country was Vatican City, the smallest in the world, but a country nonetheless. This week also marked the end […]
