England is now better known for vibrant cities with great nightlife and attractions, contrasted with green and pleasant countryside.
It's said that Ireland, once visited, is never forgotten; the landscape has a mythic resonance, the country's history is almost tangible, and its people seem put on earth expressly to restore faith in humanity.
Wales is just what you picture it to be: rolling moorlands, tongue-twisting place names, Rugby Union... But also fantastic walking, cycling, fishing, water and adventure sports as well as some fine festivals.
Scotland's' people are feisty, opinionated and fiercely loyal. The countryside is a wild, beautiful tumble of raw mountain peaks and deep glassy lakes.

The Eurostar “Chunnel” train from Paris to London may cost a bit more than flying but it is much more civilized. We cleared both EU and UK immigration at Gare du Lyon in Paris, carried our own luggage onto the train and were in London in ... Read more >

We're on our way to hike up Scafell Pike. First it's a 35 minutes walk to the bus stop, 30 minutes on the dodgy bus and another 30 minutes walking to the starting point. All that before even taking one step on the trail. Ffs I'm knackered already. ... Read more >

I had company on this cycling trip. This girl has never cycled long distance in her life. She has never tried an activity holiday where we were cycling everyday even in the rain. I had back up plans just in case she said no fucking way but none were ... Read more >

We woke up early in Leith because we needed to get out of the AirBnB by 10 am and we needed to catch a train. I convinced Jared and my Mom not to take a cab so that we could take the hop on and hop off bus again as our ticket was good for 24 hours and ... Read more >

We slept and slept - my travel companions were un rousable until 3 pm!!! I was getting annoyed since it was our last full day. Mom didn't want to go anywhere and just stay in the AirBnB - I couldn't tell if Jared cared.

Well....today was a mixed bag to say the least.
I got up around 7 and waited until 9 or so to try to rouse the others - who were un-rouseable until a tad later. I made some meat-free bacon and toast for my mom and Jared slept through ... Read more >

Well...it wasn't really a first day...
We flew to Boston where Jared bought snacks and I got clam chowder from Legals. We also order a wheelchair for mom - which - no one told me would be really, really hard to push between terminals. It was a slog.... Read more >
