What We’re All About
Hidden Wonders of the Black Sea
We begin our adventure in Trabzon, a port city that has been home to many civilisations over the years and is just a short flight from Istanbul. After a quick meet and greet with our guide we hit the road and make our way to Sumela, a monastery perched on a steep rock cliff overlooking Altindere Valley.

Yangon was replaced as the capital back in 2006 by Naypyidaw, which was the decision of the then military government to relocate the capital to this purpose-built city.
Iceland
Iceland was the Travel Hot spot of 2016, it seemed to be popping up in all forms of the media -whether it be on TV travel shows or in popular travel magazines. And, who could forget their national football team taking the world by storm at Euro 2016 with their underdog heroics and giant slaying feats.
I have to admit Iceland has never really been at the top of my bucket list, not because it Continue reading “Iceland”
