Brooks Falls, Katmai National Park
My number one bucket list ticked – watching bears catch Salmon jumping upstream at Brooks Falls. Seeing baby bears was a bonus and too cute not to share!

Anchorage in the summer
Alaska. The land of the midnight sun. There’s something about this destination that always draws me back and I’m not even 100% sure why. I know one reason is because we visited in the winter so of course we had to come back for the summer, and the other reason was to tick off a…

North Island Road Trip
It was time to visit the undiscovered path of our adventures in New Zealand; the North Island. It’s a no-brainer that New Zealand and road trips go hand-in-hand, so we hired a campervan for our 7 days travel in the north. On later review, 7 days was no-where near enough time to see and enjoy everything…

Travel Highlights
Travel highlights from 2013. 2013, you may be asking? It was merely a year and a bit ago. Why would someone write a highlights section on travel when the years have passed? You may (or may not) have previously read that whilst overseas on a 6 month holiday my external hard drive that I always pack…

A week in Rarotonga
The waves crashed hugely on the reef as we looked out across the water, the sound always reaching my ears a few moments later.
