Jasper National Park is easily one of the most beautiful parts of Canada we’ve ever visited and it’s reason in itself to want to explore even more of the Canadian Rockies. These jagged gigantic mountains make for stunning scenes – couples with beautiful (sometimes turquoise) calm lakes, gorges and canyon are just some of the reasons … Continue Reading

Arriving in China, I can’t even begin to describe how tired and jet-lagged I was (totally my fault – KLM had so many movies I’d wanted to see that I spent most of my flight catching up on my movies). Funny thing about tiredness and jetlag – the excitement that comes from visiting a city … Continue Reading

Asides, the obvious partying of course! Thing is, there’s so much more to see and do when you visit Cancun than hitting up ‘Dah club’ and we’ve put together a little video just showing off some of these.
