How we spent four days in Stoupa, the sleepy Greek village which until recently has been completely off the radar for English visitors. Our first few days in the Peloponnese were spent in a Medieval castle perched on a rock in the sea; as one does. It was incredible, although considering Monemvasia is technically in… Continue reading Four Days in Stoupa: Our Introduction to Greece’s Mani Peninsula
I am what is commonly known as A Massive Chicken. So to say I'm proud of myself for ziplining in Costa Rica is an understatement. Guys.

What a way to see the rainforest!
Welcome, one and all! To your friendly Hamburg coffee guide!!

But what about a Greece road trip? Where can you even drive to in mainland Greece?? When we first came up with the idea… Continue reading A Greece Road Trip : Discovering the Peloponnese and Beyond
I'm a bit late to the party here, 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 on… Continue reading A Rather Late Round-Up of 2017
How to spend one day in Reykjavik. A guide for the curious cruise ship explorers and the arriving in Reykjavik-but-heading-out-ASAPers.

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.
