The land of the Northern Lights and the Midnight Sun
Oct 17, 2018
As the Earth tilts on its axis, relative to the sun, the seasons evolve. Above the Arctic Circle the seasons are more profound, as out of the darkness of winter comes the light of an endless summer.

The five seasons of Svalbard
Oct 17, 2018
In the polar regions, the power of the sun can be felt more intensely than anywhere else in the world. She provides constant light in the summer and does not rise above the horizon in the winter, leaving the land soaked in mystical darkness. Her warmth is a gentle glow, her rays colour the sky in pinks, purples and golds, and sometimes she appears so close that you feel like you could touch her. Words cannot accurately describe the sheer magnificence of Svalbard. As the most readily accessible region of the polar north, the scenery and sheer beauty is the epitome of our Arctic dreams.

Salamanca - guest blog by Jono Vernon-Powell, Nomadic Thoughts
Oct 08, 2018
Although I have only recently made my first visit to Salamanca, it has instantly become one of my favourite Spanish cities. An historical heavyweight, it also exudes a youthful vibrancy in its magical array of authentic golden-coloured stone buildings, twisting streets, ornate squares and buzzing plazas.

Paxos - A guest blog by Richard Reed
Sep 16, 2018
When you think of the Ionian islands of Greece images of thickly-wooded hills, fishing villages with colourful wharf buildings lining their waterfronts and the clearest of seas will spring to mind. These images are of the sweet, silvery Paxos; an island we have heard of a great deal and yet never visited. Until now. The blog details our experiences on Paxos, the smallest of the Ionian islands.
