adventures, please.
I had no idea that Ferrol even existed until the day the cruise ship I was working on docked here. (Surprise!!) Situated in the North West of Spain on the country's Galician coast, this isn't a city that people tend to head to for a beach or city break, despite the fact that the surrounding [...]
Oh. My. Days. If there is one thing the stunning city of Barcelona is known for, it's the city's unique architecture, and mostly the architecture of Antoni Gaudí. Gaudí was the most well known architect of the Catalan Modernism movement which swept across the city at the beginning of the 20th century, and nowadays people [...]
I'm a bit late to the party here pals given that we're almost one month into the new year, but at this particular moment in time I appear to be stuck in a hotel in Hamburg with not a whole lot to do; so what better way to fill the time than a casual reflection [...]
The Canary Islands, so named because the islanders apparently used to worship dogs (Canary/canine, get it?) are a little cluster of Spanish islands situated in the Atlantic Ocean, closer to the coast of Morocco than Spain or anywhere else in Europe.

Oh my goodness you guys. My incredibly pessimistic view on life is that if you have little to no expectations of people/places/things, you will rarely be disappointed (it may be pessimistic, but it also means I'm pretty much always having an awesome time by default). The island of La Palma is a PRIME EXAMPLE of [...]
Cádiz is a place which I knew absolutely nothing about until the day our ship docked there, and had it not been for that one day I doubt there's any reason that I would ever have considered visiting. It's just not one of those places you hear very much about, is it? Set on a [...]
If you're not the kind of person that loves package holidays, English breakfasts in non-English places and sunbathing until you're red as a lobster, you might be thinking Lanzarote is not the location for you. Well YOU THOUGHT WRONG, MY FRIEND!!! Not only did my grandad live there back in the day, but in more [...]
Now let's get one thing straight here, homies- I am not very good at having a 'proper' holiday, in the traditional sense of the word. I can't sit still for long enough, and feel guilty if I'm in unchartered territory that I'm not actively exploring. Your average human being goes away to relax, but when [...]
