Packing for an Alaska cruise proved to be quite a challenge. Although well-versed in packing for cruises to warmer destinations and even an expedition cruise to Antarctica, the task of preparing for ship life and outdoor adventures in Alaska was a new one. Deciding what to bring became a difficult decision....

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....

I was immediately enamoured with Krakow as soon as I stepped out of the train station and made my way towards Old Town. The walls and gate were illuminated in the dark navy sky, bringing a smile to my face. As someone who loves fairytale towns, I knew I would be in for a treat....

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. When I first visited in 2012, people were more confused than interested. Comparing the Iceland of 2012 to the Iceland of today, it is clear to see how much the country has changed....

When I was planning my trip to Egypt, a Nile cruise wasn't something I had considered. I was aiming to create a two week DIY holiday on a budget, and I didn't think a cruise would fit into that. However, as I researched hotels in Aswan and Luxor, I realised that a cruise was the best way to explore Ancient Egypt....

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...

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....
