I’ve never been one to look for luxury in my travels. I expected to be searching for the cheapest hostel I could find and not swanning around enjoying luxury in Granada. Mainly because it’s always been about exploring the location. My bed is nothing more than a place to sleep and store my belongings while I’m off eating amazing food and basking in the joy of whatever city or town […]

The Alhambra in Granada
Tempted by the stunning view of The Alhambra while attending the wedding of a good blogging friend in Nellie of wildjunket.com fame, I just had to make a stop in to checkout the inside view as well.

In fact the whole of Andalucia treated me to some of the best food I’ve had the joy of putting […]
Return Of The Travel Butterflies
OK… so I know it’s only for a couple of weeks and I know I’ll be as safe as houses BUT, I can’t help but have the same feelings of nervousness and excitement from when I was departing Australia over 12 months ago. In case you haven’t been keeping up with me on facebook and twitter, I’m off to Spain for a couple of weeks of leisure time. Travelling again […]
