What you might not know about Sweden, is that it is chockablock, full-to-the-brim, bursting-at-the-seams with islands. Even its capital, Stockholm, is made up of islands, and the quiet little city of Karlskrona, in the south, is no exception to this island lifestyle. In fact, Karlskrona is spread out over around thirty islands in total, most… Continue reading The Best Things to Do in Karlskrona, Sweden • One day in the south of Sweden
The beautiful Swedish capital of Stockholm is, frankly, a foodie's paradise.

Perched high up in the mountains of the Andalusian countryside, in the midst of a petite and picturesque pueblo blanco, is a surprising hidden gem- the Plaza de Toros Mijas.

Málaga is one of my favourite cities in Spain, not just for its beauty and laid-back vibe, but also for its brilliant position on Andalusia's Costa del Sol.

For many a globetrotter, the island of Tenerife probably conjures up images of package holidays, English fry-ups in beach-front cafes, and incredibly sunburnt Germans. I get it.

And with a stay… Continue reading Hi Suites Hotel Emblemático Review • Santa Cruz de Tenerife’s Boutique Bolthole
Almost every Canary Islands cruise itinerary will include a stop at Tenerife cruise port, which is in the sunny capital city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. And although most visitors head away from the urban sprawl of Santa Cruz's streets- either in search of the island's famous beaches, or up into the beautiful pine-forested mountains… Continue reading Tenerife Cruise Port • The complete guide to Santa Cruz de Tenerife
Aruba cruise port is in the colourful city of Oranjestad, which is filled with designer stores, plenty of restaurants and all-inclusive hotels, and a substantial population of iguanas. (I do love those little dinosaur-creatures.) And although this is a Dutch island- part of the ABC islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao- aside from the clogs… Continue reading Aruba Cruise Port • Docking in Oranjestad
