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…
Walking the streets of Georgetown, Penang makes you feel like you have landed inside the pages of an Asian comic book. The fusion of cultures, vivid colours, diverse architecture, and large dash of colonial history, bursting proudly out of the winding maze of streets, creates a zany vibe that all feels a bit unreal. Georgetown’s…
“Kuala Lumpur is the poor man’s Singapore.” Several people told us this after we planned a trip to visit in 2018. And to be honest, most people struggled to sincerely assure us we’d have a great time. We therefore had no expectations, other than exploring the vast array of world renowned Malaysian cuisine. Kuala Lumpur…
“Girls, if you could go anywhere in the world right now, where would it be?” “Dubai!” “Singapore! No wait, Amsterdam…Oh I can’t choose!” All the world’s a playground to a child’s eye and a city is a mega adventure park, where eyes are open wide and minds are on overdrive as little ones try to…
“Rhino have you got any [travel nightmares] like that?” @crest_cast “Nothing as dire as that. I’ve always been pretty lucky with surf trips……” We consider ourselves really lucky not to have had any major travel disasters, but there have certainly been some bumps in the road. Like everyone else. Surely, most people have missed a…
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…
These are the days. My husband, most commonly known as Rhino, has been telling me this since I met him. I am the cautious one and he is more adventurous – after all, rhinos like to charge. And it’s that charge that drives me to do the more crazy things in life. To be more…
“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…
