Motorbikes, dogs and a lot of traveling.
After my last post we've made a couple of changes. Scary, changes... But they needed to happen and you can't make progress if you don't make changes right? Our home for the past three and half years Firstly we've quit our jobs. This terrifies me even writing this. Mentally and physically neither of us are... Continue Reading →
Adjusting to life after travelling is hard. I spent two and a half years travelling the world and I loved every minute of it. The experiences were life changing and with them I changed. I was living such an interesting life, like a book you can't put down, I was always excited for the next... Continue Reading →
This is the second part to my previous post, which you can read all about here. After a lovely night in our sheppards hut in Looe, we were back on the bike and headed along the coast to Lizard Point. Our Harley Lizard Point is the most southern part of the UK. A popular walking... Continue Reading →
Mitch and I have just had three weeks off work (I know, three weeks!) and in the last few days, we decided to take an impromptu trip on the Harley. We hadn't taken our motorbike on a big trip since last September, when we rode all the way to Amsterdam, so it was definitely time... Continue Reading →
After being hit with another heatwave here in the UK, we decided to make the most of it and go exploring. Here in Bristol, we're pretty lucky that we are surrounded by great places to go for a walk. One of which is Bennet's Patch and White's Paddock, home to some beautiful sculptures and scenery,... Continue Reading →
This is my favourite place to go for a walk in Bristol. A beautifully green hidden gem, this cemetery holds 170,000 of the departed in their final resting place. Most of which has been reclaimed by nature, making this cemetery so incredibly unique. Opened in 1837, the Arnos Vale was created as a spacious garden... Continue Reading →
For four weeks the UK has been under lockdown. We have been told to self isolate with the exception of excercise and shopping for essentials. For many people this has lead to their career taking a drastic change or unfortunately, losing their job altogether. Given the circumstances, Mitch and I are very lucky to still... Continue Reading →
Wowie I haven't wrote in a while, but then again, I haven't really been able to go any where in a while. You can guess what my new years resolution is! For my sister's birthday, we took the train to Birmingham to visit the Coffin Works and explore the area... Because what else do you... Continue Reading →
After leaving Amsterdam we rode to Brussels. It took us about three hours with a couple of stops along the way. Riding through the Netherlands is basically green fields, beautiful waterways, cows and the occasional windmill. It's stunning. We rode a long the motorway so I didn't really get any photos but here's one I... Continue Reading →
As we've got some time off work and having recently bought a Harley Davidson, we decided we'd ride to Amsterdam. From Bristol, it takes just over eight hours. We were going to break this up into two, but as rain was forecast all day on Wednesday, we rode all the way there. I'm glad we... Continue Reading →
A very common misconception of the Flame of Liberty, is that it was built in memory of Princess Diana. Whilst she was more than deserving of the sculpture, the flame was actually built in 1986, eleven years before Diana's death. Symbolising enlightenment to the world, it became known as Diana's Flame.Diana's death is still one... Continue Reading →
The world's largest museum and Paris's 2nd most visited tourist attraction (Disney Land at number one), the Louvre museum did not disappoint.The Louvre offers over 380,000 objects and 35,000 pieces of art. There's so much to see that if you spent 30 seconds looking at each piece of art, it would take you 100 days.... Continue Reading →
One of the first things that comes to mind when thinking of Paris, and France really, is the Eiffel Tower. Originally built in 1887, this sculpture was only meant to be temporary as part of the worldwide exhibition. The creator, Gustave Eiffel, had planned to destroy it twenty years after the exhibition ended. However, in... Continue Reading →
Okay so this is a little bit of an odd place to visit and perhaps a bit creepy, but beauty can be found any where, and there was a lot to be found at the Montparnasse Cemetery. I came across this cemetery whilst researching the area after visiting the catacombs. Well known for its abstract... Continue Reading →
(updated as I accidently uploaded whilst half asleep and didn't realise until the comments appeared this morning, whoops!) Well I can't say I'm too happy about being another year older but I did have a lovely birthday. Let's be honest, January is a crappy month to have your birthday. Just after Christmas, it's cold and... Continue Reading →
