Last autumn we were seeking a cosy weekend away. We wanted to enjoy our days outside admiring the changing season and our evenings snuggled up by the fire. We could think of nowhere better than the Brecon Beacons, especially as the area comes alive in the autumn. We stumbled across Medley Meadow online and booked our own safari tent stay.
Read moreA SUMMER ROAD TRIP THROUGH WALES, UNITED KINGDOM
As avid campers, we are not good at staying still. We love to seize the weekends for camping adventures and spend our evenings after work jumping in the van and heading out on a road trip. So when the world stopped during a pandemic, we found ourselves itching to be away more than ever. As the UK started to peel itself out of lockdown, we knew it was time to take to the road once more.
Read more10 CHARMING TOWNS & CITIES TO VISIT IN CROATIA
We had dreamed about visiting the charming towns and cities of Croatia long before we actually got to visit. So when we finally booked the flights, we knew we wanted to see as many of the quaint towns as we possibly could whilst there. We visited more popular choices, such as Zadar and Split (two excellent choices if planning your own trip by the way), but we also discovered sleepier towns, oozing with charm but with fewer tourists. Here are just ten of our favourites.

During our Croatian road trip last September, we had just spent over a week running around the pretty cities of Istria, beautiful Zadar and the cobbled streets of Split when we found ourselves craving some chill time.

Earlier this year we were lucky enough to be able to stay at Log Jam cabin, nestled away within Little Menherion. I had been watching the build of this gorgeous cabin for a couple of years after seeing an article about Little Menherion in The Rolling Home magazine. Knowing it had recently been completed, it was the first place I thought of when we found ourselves looking for a last minute getaway.
Read moreA DAY IN VENICE, ITALY | A PHOTO DIARY
I wasn’t sure what to expect from Venice. I had once seen it described as half beauty half tourist trap and I wasn’t sure which side i would cling to. It’s true that this city is both. It’s magical and chaotic and I am so grateful to have seen it at least once in my life. We spent only a day in Venice and when I look back at my photos it seems like a faraway dream, which I guess is all part of the charm.
Read moreŠIBENIK, CROATIA | A PHOTO DIARY
Šibenik, Croatia is one of the most picturesque coastal cities in Dalmatia. During our road trip through the country, we decided to visit on our way into Split from Zadar. We stayed only a few hours, wandering around the cobble stoned maze of shaded back streets and alleyways, but fell instantly in love with the city for its peaceful atmosphere and medieval charm.
Read moreWHY WE FELL IN LOVE WITH ROVINJ, CROATIA
Last September we set out on a two-week road trip around Croatia. We adored every place we visited, but our favourite region by far was Istria. Within our favourite region was our favourite city, Rovinj! We based ourselves here in an adorable Airbnb as we explored Istria and we could not have made a better decision.
Read moreA DAY TRIP TO PIRAN, SLOVENIA
During our road trip around Croatia last summer, we had been busy exploring Croatian Istria when we decided to slip across the border to see charming Piran for a day, which is part of Slovenian Istria. Piran is a pretty Venetian-tinged seaside town and is the highlight of Slovenia’s tiny slither of coastline.

Last September we set out on a two-week road trip around Croatia. We adored every place we visited, but our favourite region by far was Istria. We spent five days frolicking around the alluring cities and towns and made the most of the gorgeous natural landscape. It is the place I always think back to when dreaming of sunny Croatia.
