Let’s be honest here. This video wasn’t the one I planned to publish today. I planned to do a Girlguiding: what it’s actually like to be a leader in the event that the first Georgia video wasn’t ready. But although I filmed the Girlguiding video twice, I don’t like either, and the Georgia video/s won’t… More New video: Princetown branch railway hike (Dartmoor June 2021)
The seventh season of Somebody Feed Phil dropped on Netflix on Friday so I’ve dropped the Georgia posts just for today to show you all the places Phil Rosenthal visited in and around Reykjavik and how to go there yourself. I’ve made a map so you can find all the places Phil ate in Iceland… More Somebody Feed Phil in Iceland
My second Traverse tour was a tour of Tbilisi’s Old Town. There were four Old Town tours going and it took a moment to make sure we were all on the right buses. There was a Cultural Exploration which was going to various museums, exhibits and galleries – not my thing. There was a Gastronomy… More A tour of Old Town Tbilisi
At last it’s time for the final episode in this video series, Is This the Best Geothermal Pool in Iceland! It’s been months! I recorded the first attempts back at the beginning of November and yet with one thing and another, I only filmed this last one a week ago. Anyway, we’re at Hvammsvík for this last… More New video: Hvammsvík – is this the best geothermal pool in Iceland?
This was my first trip with Traverse. I arrived Monday night and just about had time to figure out the metro before I had to use it for real to get to the pick-up spot at Rose Revolution Square on Tuesday morning for our trip to the Chronicle of Georgia. To be honest, I wasn’t… More The weird Chronicle of Georgia
I was most excited about the enamel workshop, out of all the tours we did in Georgia. A traditional craft, one I’d never even considered having a go at! I watched videos on how cloisonné enamel is made and honestly, I realised it was going to take longer than the three hours allotted. At the… More An enamel workshop and the ancient capital of Georgia
It’s the penultimate episode of my ten-part series, Is This The Best Geothermal Pool in Iceland? and I think by now we might have an idea of which is indeed the best geothermal pool in Iceland. But we’ve got two late contenders for the title and this one is the Forest Lagoon in Akureyri. A… More New video: The Forest Lagoon – is this the best geothermal pool in Iceland?
Going to Tbilisi and not taking an hour or so for a sulphur bath is like going to Iceland and avoiding the Blue Lagoon or going to Paris and covering your eyes whenever the Eiffel Tower comes into view. The sulphur baths are a Tbilisi tradition. More than that, they’re the reason the city exists!… More What happens at a private Tbilisi sulphur bath?
Here we are! Arriving in Georgia! I thought a good place to start would be with my first evening and what I thought of Tbilisi on first impressions. I was there for Traverse 24, a conference and networking event for travel creators. I’ve had my eye on it for a few years and always been… More First impressions of Tbilisi
Today brings part eight of my series about the ten best geothermal pools, lagoons, spas, hot springs etc etc in Iceland and I’m taking you along to the Sky Lagoon. This one’s claim to fame is that it’s just 15 minutes from downtown Reykjavik and it waves its unique seven-step Ritual as evidence of… More New video: Sky Lagoon – is this the best geothermal pool in Iceland?
