Welcome to our travel blog, where we, Natalie and Arran, share our passion for exploring the world, tasting its culinary delights, and sipping on its finest (and sometimes just cheapest) wines.

Based in Glasgow at the heart of Scotland, we are a couple driven by a love for adventure, food, and drink.

Through our website, we aim to inspire fellow travellers, sharing our own adventures past, present and future.

We will share enchanting stories from our journeys, wild mishaps and things we found interesting!

Additionally, Natalie loves travel research so we’ll plan hypothetical trips and share what you too could do if you were to visit these destinations.

“Never go on trips with anyone you do not love.” – Hemmingway

Since our first trip to Florence as a couple (in 2014), that quote continues to ring true.

Our first international trip together was to Italy, where we wandered through the romantic streets of Florence, tasted exquisite wines in Tuscany, and indulged in the culinary delights of both Florence and Viareggio. 

This trip ignited a spark in us, and we realised that travelling, tasting new foods, and experiencing different cultures was what we wanted to spend our hard earned money on. 

Balancing this love of food and travel is always a challenge as we suffer several food borne allergies, however we find this just makes finding that special little ristorante or hidden gem that can cater to our needs even more special.

We got married a few years back but have been together for over a decade now and have experienced many different holidays from relaxing all-inclusives, jam packed city breaks, exciting cruises and cultural tours. 

Although we don’t have any children ourselves, all our love and play gets poured into the kids of our family and friends. We enjoy getting to play the fun aunt and uncle, keeping us feeling youthful as we venture into our mid thirties.

Heya, I’m Natalie and I’m very excited for you to read what we have to write!

Following the covid pandemic and other family events, I am very much of the attitude that we only get one life and never know what is going to happen tomorrow so I want to try and experience as much as possible. 

This means that I have recently given up my 9-5 office job in Supply Chain and taken the jump into self-employment. Travel is what brings me joy, so being an independent travel agent allows me to help other people find their special travel moments.  

There are so many sights that navigating this wonderful world may seem daunting so I wanted to set up the blog to share our trips and itinerary plans that may bring you one step closer to discovering your dream trip. 

I have been living with Fibromyalgia for over a decade now and it certainly impacts on some of our travels. I wanted to make a note because many people live with chronic or invisible illnesses. 

If you want to travel the world then there are always options and you just have to find what works for you. 

Arran spent a lot of his childhood going on outdoor adventures with his family whilst I certainly didn’t so we were not sure if we would enjoy similar things when we went to plan our first holiday together. 

Thankfully destinations usually have a complete range of things to do so we can find a nice balance. Also balancing the fact that we may love the sun, but the sun doesn’t necessarily love my freckles and Arran’s bald head!

Storytelling & Travel Planning Ideas!

One of our greatest joys is inspiring others planning their own adventures.

Through our blog, we offer insightful travel itineraries, our real experiences of different destinations and activities, tips on finding the best food and wine spots, and advice on making the most of every trip.

Whether it’s a romantic getaway in the Italian countryside, an adventurous cruise up the picturesque Norwegian Fjords, or a cultural immersion in the streets of Singapore.

We are here to help you dream, plan, and discover the perfect journey.

What sets us apart is our genuine passion for travel, food, and wine. Combined with our Scottish charm and storytelling flair!

With some larking around thrown in for good measure, just see the picture above!

What we are not

I am afraid to say, we’re not backpacking/stay in hostels/find the most budget travel accommodation kind of people.

Unfortunately between Natalie’s Fibromyalgia and our shared food intolerance issues we both appreciate a comfortable and private place to return to at the end (or middle) of a long day!

We’re not influencer fabulous; we’re more ‘hot sweaty mess covered in mosquito bites’ but we do still have fun! We’re keen to document the real sides of travel and not make everything look (and seem) rosy!

So what we’re offering is a real look into travel told from our own perspective and from our own opinions.

We spend time documenting our stories and finding content for our blogs that we think is appropriate or useful.

We write our blogs, we don’t outsource, where would the fun in that be? we want you to come back for us, not some outsourced or AI generated nonesense!
