10 travel moments that restored our faith in humanity. Stories of kindness from life on the road.
All my friends are buying houses and having babies, yet I'm about to embark on my fourth big trip travelling. Here's how it feels to give it all up again to travel in your thirties.
Abbotts Falls is hidden away in a gorgeous rainforest grotto. The walk to get there takes you through a jungle with real Indiana Jones vibes. You’ll have to descend a rock chute with the aid of sturdy ropes to reach the base of the falls. We’re sharing everything you need to know, including coordinates as the waterfall is not signposted.
Death Valley is one of the most varied and unique national parks we’ve been to. You’ll find everything from deserted canyons, towering sand dunes, pristine salt flats and multi coloured mountains that don’t even look real. We’ll take you through how to plan the perfect day trip to Death Valley so you don’t miss a single one of the highlights.
The Haast Pass winds its way between Wanaka and Haast on one of the most spectacular stretches of road in New Zealand. There are so many stops you can make along the way; from turquoise waterfalls, to canyons, wild coastline and even some glacial blue pools. We’re sharing all the unmissable stops, including those that are not signposted.
The Blue Pools are utterly spectacular and worthy of their increasing fame and popularity. However, there are a lot of things worth knowing beforehand in order to make sure you have the perfect trip. We’re sharing how weather conditions and time of day affect the water colour, photography tips, how to beat the crowds, and what it’s really like to swim in the glacial water!
Most people driving the Haast Pass will stop at the picturesque Fantail Falls, but few know there is an even more spectacular waterfall just around the corner. This one has no path and you need the right conditions to visit safely, but when you get there it’s a truly magical spot. We’re sharing how to find it and exactly what to expect along the way.
Wilson Creek Canyon is utterly spectacular, with towering walls that loom over you and stunning turquoise water. Although you can only visit a tiny portion of the canyon if you don’t have canyoning experience or a guide, it is still an incredible place to see. We’re sharing how to find it and what to expect when you do.
Leura Cascades is one of the most popular waterfalls in the Blue Mountains for good reason. The stunning falls are in a picturesque setting and reached via a very easy walking trail. However, those that venture a little further will see two more waterfalls and traverse some incredible rainforest. We’re sharing all the details on both versions of the walk.
