Lockdown Walks Down Memory Lane: Cradle Mountain, Tasmania, Australia

Welcome back to yet another lockdown walk down memory lane. As I’ve fed you rather well on the last one, even doubled up on haggis, I thought I give you a chance to work it off today while taking you to one of my favourite places in the world, which has loads to offer while […]

Lockdown Walks Down Memory Lane: Rosemarkie, Scotland, UK

After all this city dwelling, let’s return to one of my favourite countries, good ole Scotland, and top up on some ocean breeze, take a little walk in the woods, and continue exploring the mythical nature we fell in love with when visiting the Isle of Skye, a magical place known for giants, castles and […]

Lockdown Walks Down Memory Lane: Bristol, England, UK

From Seattle’s Glass to Bristol’s Street Art — let me take you to the place the England-based street artist Banksy called his home for ten years in the late 90s, a place he appears to revisit once in a while, leaving new art work behind when he does. The latest addition was spotted in December on Vale Street in […]

Lockdown Walks Down Memory Lane: Seattle, Washington State, US

After a sleepless night dreaming about sea monsters, pirates and all thanks to our last walk, I thought we should head over to Seattle today… get it?! Sleepless in Seattle…? Never mind, I shall stop the terrible movie references going forward, … maybe. It is quite a dreamy city though, […]

Lockdown Walks Down Memory Lane: Nassau, The Bahamas

Ready for round two? I am for sure, already halfway out the door! Where are we off to today? Well, after making you walk quite a bit yesterday, and given the wintery weather lately, I thought you might like a stroll around a tropical island for a change? Also, I brought company this time, which I’m […]

Lockdown Walks Down Memory Lane: Giant’s Causeway, Northern Ireland, UK

Oh, hi there — fancy meeting you here! How did you know I’d pop over to Ireland for my first lockdown 3.0 walk? Did the shoes give it away? Which shoes you ask? The ones on my homepage banner, silly. I figured what best place to start our walks down memory lane than finally revealing […]

Tromsø and Its Snowy Playgrounds: Truly a Winter Wonderland

“Ladies, you’re in luck. I gave you the fastest dogs out of the whole lot,” Erik, our dog sledding guide, smirkingly announced while leading the way, which confirmed the hunch I already had. Instead of helping the dogs with an occasional push, I had to make sure to never step off that breaker ledge while […]

Painting the Town Red in Tromsø: A Nordic City Full of Surprises

“Sleigh bells ring, are ya listenin’? In the lane snow is glistenin’…” — not sure where Bing Crosby was walking when inspiration hit him but that was the tune playing on repeat in my head when exploring Tromsø for an extended weekend earlier this year. My last trip before we entered this travel-less […]

From Mythical Rocks to Flying Kilts: Why One Day on Skye Is Not Enough

Pointing towards a thick grey layer of clouds in the distance, Murray, our kilted tour guide, announced, “Over there you can see the rock formation we’ve all been waiting for, the Old Man of Storr, a 160-foot-high stacks of rock, most likely the most photographed place in Skye […]
