Video: Scotland

Scotland is a country not unlike New Zealand. I went to university in Dunedin and there are so many similarities between the two places, from place names, architecture and even culture. The University of Glasgow was in places identical to Otago University (obviously Glasgow was there first, but I was so familiar with Otago already)….

Video: Sunshine in Spain continuing on

This video includes memories of our time in Barcelona and Menorca. It was my second visit to Barcelona and honestly, it was just as fantastic as the first time. Menorca was something special – beach on beach on beach – a perfect way to close my time in Europe.

Video: Summer in Spain

Summer in Spain – yes, I know – what a dream. We had a couple of weeks in Spain during our summer travels. This video includes footage from our time in Malaga, Seville and Granada. My favourite of the three was Seville – there was just something about it that struck a chord with me…

Video: Barca baby!

A city with everything – beach, culture, food, history, shopping… what more could you ever want? In my opinion, not much. I think Barcelona would be one of the coolest places to live. There is just so much going on and so much to see and do, all of the time!

Video: Paris, je t’aime!

Sometimes you go to a new place and have a perfect run of experiences from start to finish. This was me in Paris, not once but twice. Love it!

Video: Venice, the city of love

Despite being exceptionally crowded, Venice has a charm that just makes it so hard not to love. Its narrow winding streets, combined with the shop fronts crammed full of pizza, pasta, chocolates and other enticing goodies. It’s so easy to escape the main drag (which can admittedly be too crowded at times) and lose yourself…

Video: Bologna, Baby!

And the adventures continue… This time, Nicole and Danielle endure a number of public transport nightmares (I kid you not) at the same time as checking out Bologna and even popping over to Ferrara for the afternoon. We stayed with a family that a friend of mine was au-pairing for, again giving us some local…

Video: Courmayeur

Courmayeur is insanely beautiful. Having family friends in Milan meant that I was fortunate enough to be to visit and experience Courmayeur from a local’s perspective. The town was so festive and alpine-feeling, the snow so white and fresh and housing so quaint and inviting. I loved it there and can’t wait for the day…

Video: venturing to Verona

Before I had even started making this video I knew that the song I would be using was… Verona (by Elemeno P). No-brainer! Please appreciate just how funny the opening scene is (When I saw you in Verona… You sat down I moved over) – too good! Verona is a super easy trip from Milan…
