Is an Alaska Cruise Worth It: Honest Thoughts from a Non-Cruiser

31st July 2023 by Eat Sleep Breathe Travel

I was invited on a 7-day cruise to Alaska by Holland America, and I had mixed feelings. On one hand, I had heard many positive things about Alaska and it looked beautiful. On the other hand, I don't usually enjoy cruise trips as I prefer to travel slowly and seek out adventure. A big cruise trip did not seem to fit my style of travelling....

3 Days in Iceland Itinerary: See the Best of Iceland

8th July 2023 by Eat Sleep Breathe Travel

it is hard to believe that not long ago, Iceland was relatively unknown. However, due to the popular television series Game of Thrones, the country has become much more widely recognised.

The Best Things to do in Tallinn: The Fairytale Capital of Estonia

17th April 2023 by Eat Sleep Breathe Travel

Estonia was on my radar for years before I actually travelled there. Which seems a little bit odd. After all, it’s not considered to be one of the big or popular European cities for tourists. However, my uncle was in the Canadian Navy and it was his favourite port. He told me it looked like a fairytale city and that was all I needed to hear to know I wanted to visit. I finally got the chance and, as he did, fell in love. So, for anyone else eyeing this Baltic city, here are my picks for the...

2-Week Brazil Itinerary: Perfect for First-Time Visitors

3rd April 2023 by Eat Sleep Breathe Travel

Brazil was my 65th country and somewhere I was incredibly excited about. At the same time, despite all my travel experience, I found planning my trip to Brazil daunting. I received countless warnings about safety and the country itself is massive which made it hard to plan when I had a limited amount of time. In the end, I joined a group trip to explore Brazil and while I was grateful for the friends I made, I now know that I easily could have done it myself safely and for (a lot) less money....
