I so regularly use AirBnB when travelling now, that I've forgotten how truly lovely it is to stay in a traditional B&B - a place with real live hosts! When looking for a place to stay for our cycling trip to the Cotswolds, I stumbled upon Greenhill Farm Barn B&B, conveniently situated close to the Cotswolds Distillery in ...
Castilla y León, the largest province in Spain, is also the region of the world with the most World Heritage Sites. The famous Aqueduct of Segovia, the Medieval Gate of Burgos, the megalithic Verracos and the ancient University of Salamanca must all lay claim to your time when visiting this region. However, try and take ...
New Orleans is synonymous with jazz: it's a city that has musical notes as its pulse, pounding and pulsating through your body wherever you go. No matter where you are in The Big Easy you'll hear the music. Whether it's right in front of you and you're tapping your feet, nodding your head, then suddenly dancing in ...
London is filled with museums that beg for a tourists attention, but few in my opinion are quite as immersed in living tradition and regimental finery as the Household Cavalry Museum. This little pocket of history, tucked away on the Horse Guards Parade in Whitehall, is an absolute must visit for anyone who is interested ...
Guest post by Lee Y.; photos by Gregoire Lestienne, Mont Blanc Guide Lee is an experienced traveler whose country resume puts mine to shame, and whom I often look to for travel advice. His adventures often take him to higher places, quite literally, as he has a serious penchant for climbing to the top of mountains. He has ...
1) The mules look better than you The city is filled with mule drawn carriages, not only have I never seen such strong and tall mules (the donkeys must be bred with Clydesdales), but I've never seen such beautifully dressed up equines. From unicorn horns to wings and glittery hooves, they're dashingly designed. 2) You can finally ...
So you've been to London quite a few times, you've broken the bank visiting the Tower of London, gazed up at Big Ben, watched the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace and nearly died of museum-induced-exhaustion that day you decided to do the Science Museum, Natural History Museum and the V&A all in one go. Now you've ...
Louisiana - the Southern Belle of the USA, with her sunny good looks, sweet drawl and darlin' personality - will steal anyones heart, she sure stole mine. Between the bald cypress swamps, the old plantation houses and the elegant towns, it's a state with a lot to offer. But Louisiana loses 30 miles a year off ...
The once seedy neighbourhood of Getsemaní in Cartagena is now an artists palette of colours. Prostitutes, gangs and drugs have been replaced with trendy bars, boutique hostels and live music on the streets. Unlike the old walled city which is filled with tourists and touristy shops, Getsemaní draws both tourists and locals. If you take a walk ...
A cowboy walks through the kitchen door at Cold Creek Ranch, ducking slightly, out of habit maybe, as he sure is tall. His walk is slightly bowed, perhaps from years of riding or perhaps from worn out heels on his boots, but he stands straight. His grey hair gives no clue of its former colour ...
Tumbleweeding through life. Listening to stories, writing tales and chasing after horses.
