I’ve almost hit publish on this post every month since the beginning of April, only to feel scared people would think I was whining. So I’d just save it in the drafts and revisit as the next month rolled around, before continuing to remain silent. Now here we are as August arrived. COVID-19 is still […]
A Local’s Guide to the Top Things to Do in Bordeaux
The fact that Bordeaux is like Mecca for wine lovers is certainly what drew us to come visit this city and worship at the altar of some of the world’s best wines. But Bordeaux is more than just sipping Grand Cru Classé at châteaux; it’s a beautiful and compact city who’s been getting a shiny […]
The Best Places to Stay in Bordeaux
Bordeaux. If you’ve ever even so much as browsed the wine aisle at a grocery store, you no doubt know of Bordeaux wine. Bordeaux is also a city and as we’ve {surprisingly} learned since we moved here more than two years ago, one that many people don’t even know exists. We say surprisingly, but one […]
Le Lockdown: Living Through the Coronavirus Lockdown in France
What is there even to say? The world feels like its gone mad. China, Italy, Spain, now France – and many more to come – are in states of lockdown. Residents cannot leave their homes except for necessities like food and medicine. The phrase “social distancing” will no doubt be in Google’s annual Year in […]

The Best Travel Books: True Stories to Armchair Travel Around the World

Loisaba Conservancy: The Kenya Wildlife Park That Needs to Be on Your Radar
Picture it. In the heart of Kenya just eight luxe tents sit perched on an escarpment overlooking the vast Laikipia plains in the shadow of snow-capped Mount Kenya.
