We love Fuerteventura. We have visited three times as a family and Rhino has spent many winters over on the island in search of the perfect winter waves. You can read more about the Canaries in the 90’s in Rhino’s Surf Diary here. Fuerteventura is the oldest of the Canary Islands, sits to the South…
I used to belong to the school of thought that travelling with kids for Christmas Day was sacrilege. Mortel sin. A big fat NO GO area. That children should be home, tucked into their beds, while visions of sugarplums dance in their heads…. Surrounded by their own familiar things and with all their family to…
Every day is a Saturday when we are travelling. We’re always excited for a Saturday, just like we’re always excited for a trip. Every day away is a new story, a new adventure and brings something different. I am now (almost) eleven years old and I have been travelling since I was just a baby…
It has been almost two months since I started writing this blog, and documenting our travel tales. I feel like I have found a vessel for my creativity that had been lying dormant within me for years. Like I’d always had this itch, and didn’t quite know how to scratch it. Like something was trying…

I will never forget the colour palette of Western Australia. The rich iron redness of the earth in stark contrast with the soothing turquoise ocean hues as you fly South from Asia into the Southern Land. For hours gazing out of the window of the 737, all I could see were the wild waves of…
Way back before Family Rhino, I’d been travelling for surf adventures since the 80’s. Surf trips with friends, sponsored photoshoots, surfing with the Welsh and British teams, I suppose I’d grown up travelling the world for surf, and didn’t think too much about it. This was just the norm for us at the time. We…
The best prawns I have ever eaten were somewhere near Bugis Market, Singapore in 2010. I can still taste them now. We’d flown the red eye from Heathrow to Singapore and landed at 18:45 local time in Changi Airport. Already dark and body clocks still firmly planted in UK day time, we checked in to…
“Live a day worth writing about”. @thebucketlistfamily I understand that talking about travel right now is a contentious issue. There seem to be two reactions when I mention travel; those who can’t bear to hear it – and those who need to satisfy their cravings for travel by lapping up every travel vlog, blog, book…
