SunGod have launched a new pair of ski goggles – the Vanguards! I’ve been waiting on my customised pair arriving in the post, so when they finally got delivered on Saturday, I thought I’d do a little video to unbox them, show you what they look like, do a comparison against SunGod’s other snow goggles, […]
Cornwall is one of my favourite areas of the UK. I’ve visited Cornwall every year since I was 8 years old, and absolutely love the Cornish surf vibe. There some incredible hotels and Airbnb accommodation in Cornwall, but with such a rich history and amazing coastal scenery I wanted to find some more unusual places […]
You’re a dad! Or soon will be, congrats! 🙂 Many new parents find out the sex of their baby at their 12 week scan. We didn’t. We figured you don’t really get many good surprises in life, so we never found out. Claire, my wife, thought we were going to have a girl, and I […]
On 15th September, 2018, I became a dad for the first time. It sounds odd, but you’d think I would have been preparing for that moment for the last 9 months. But let me tell you, despite all the reading, all the classes, all the waiting, nothing prepared me for the wave of emotion and […]
During the summer, the Isle of Wight is a busy place indeed. Tourists and holidaymakers from the UK, Europe and beyond, enjoying the tiny villages, golden sandy beaches and the picturesque coastline. But once the crowds have faded away and the leaves have begun to turn orange, brown and yellow, the little island becomes…well…quiet. I […]

I’ve FINALLY visited Bruges! What a place! The back story: I’ve wanted to visit Bruges ever since I read Monica from The Travel Hack’s boozy Bruges weekend post back in 2014. What could be better than sitting in the main square, sipping Belgian beer in the sun, wondering if the Bruges Belfry is wonky?! Bruges sounded […]
When you think of Bruges, you should think chocolate, frites and mayonnaise, and you should think beer. Strong beer. Belgium is renowned globally for its blonde / strong / strawberry / craft beer, so when I had the chance to visit Bruges earlier this summer I wanted to try all the beers the bars and […]
I’ve started to learn something about my travels recently that I want to share with you. The older you get, the more complicated your search criteria becomes for holidays and accommodation. A few years ago, it was a simple ‘accommodation for 2 / 4 / 6’. No longer. Now the search criteria involves infants, cots, […]
Poland has been on my to-do list for the last couple of years. It’s cheap country to visit, a short flight from the UK, and has a rich, turbulent history that I was keen to learn more about. At the beginning of each year, I keep an eye on the flight sales from each airline, […]
