Find out how to travel from Kalymnos to Telendos via water taxi, and what to do during your day trip to this tranquil Greek island. Also a couple of ideas for free and cheap souvenirs.

Known for sponge diving and rock climbing, Kalymnos also has beaches on its western coast that overlook the small island of Telendos. It’s where the longest sandy beach is located.

Way back in September when I had to rush back to the UK to help with my Mum after her…

The ferry that connects the Greek Island of Kos to Kalymnos departs from the Mastichari Ferry port. We got there by bus, and spent a few hours in a taverna waiting for our ferry.

We spent a week on Ile D’Aix, a French island near La Rochelle. I had sewing projects to do, and Red had painting projects. Plus catching oysters and beach combing.

We stepped back in time with a private tour of the fortified village of La Couvertoirade. This castle dates back to the Knights Templar.

10 weeks into 3 minutes. Watch our Workaway and Travel adventures through France. I made this virtual tour as a birthday gift for Red.

We fell in love with La Rochelle during our Workaway Gig. Our volunteer assignment was varied and interesting, and even off-season, this town is open for exploration.

Lyon is a fabulous walking city, and we spent 4 days wandering around this gastronomy capital of France. Find out what we saw during our self-guided walking tour.

During an overnight stay in the Montparnasse neighbourhood of Paris, we made the most of cafes, bistros and the local flea market.

Exploring the historic military stronghold of Ile D’Aix out of season? You’ll have the desolate beaches all to yourself and first pick of the oysters.

Are you looking for some ideas and inspiration about where to travel in Ireland? In honor of Saint Patrick’s day I’m sharing a roundup of travel articles from the Emerald Isle.

Only two hours from Paris, Lyon offers similar landscape and architecture, but not as many museums.

Our Workaway adventure volunteering at an 18th Century flour mill in southern France, near the Millau Viaduct.

We spent two days chilling in Clermont Ferrand, exploring the old town area and eating Italian and Turkish food.

A weekend break in artistic and creative Montpellier in the south of France. Wandering the cobbled streets of old town, meeting the locals and walking our socks off.

Exploring Toulouse, the pink city in January. A French cultural immersion and welcome hospitality from the locals.

We weren’t going to let a French Rail Strike get in the way of our plans to travel around France for three months.

We took a day trip to Kalymnos to explore the eastern coastline and spend the day in Vathy, and discover an off-the-beaten path beach where the Greeks gather for family Sunday.

The Alhambra is an obvious place to visit in Granada, but this city with it’s Moorish heritage will grab your interest and keep you coming back for more.

Seville is full of Spanish charm and quirkiness, and has to be one of the most authentically Spanish cities. It’s easy to navigate and fun to cycle or walk around.

The Triana neighbourhood was one of our favourite finds in Seville, and THE best place to enjoy an authentic flamenco show.

Travel south from Madrid, and in 30 minutes you can be wandering the cobbled streets of Spain’s original capital city Toledo.

We had a three day stay in Madrid, and although I wasn’t that jazzed about visiting, this dark horse took me by surprise.
