The sun was shining. It was a blue bird day, with not a cloud in the sky. Mongolia was really living up to her name as the country of blue skies. Teddi, my trusty little chestnut Mongolian pony and I, were happily off on another days riding adventure. We happily...

The silly season is here and so are the silly gift lists. I’m not sure why there is a plethora of lists of things, stuff, bits and bobs that you should give to a traveller. From power packs, to ugly zip off pants and the devil stick (selfie stick). Is the...

Everyone deserves a little bit of happiness every now and again. Personally I think we all deserve to be happy all the time. Which is probably why I’m a gypsy at heart. So I get it. You’re on holidays. You’ve worked really hard to save up the money...

It’s an age old question- What’s the best way to see a different side of a new city? To get off the beaten path and really connect with the locals. To be able to come home and brag that you’ve have had a truly unique experience and that everyone you...

Did you know that as of 01 October 2015 we can now celebrate international coffee day? Nope? Well neither did we but I’m sure as hell excited that my favorite non-alcoholic beverage has a day of it’s own to be celebrated, loved and honored. If I could buy...
