Alike most, I am well and truly into the swing of self isolation and buying everything that pops up on my Instagram ads; obviously because I need it and I can't possibly live without. The only time that I am not at home is when I go to the grocery store for an "adventure". To…

somewhere over the rainbow
Most days went along the lines of 'Eat, Sleep, Gym, Repeat' up until we started work. In between, we chatted within our new estate and became friends with Rachel and Emma. Steering away from going crazy (and only just avoiding it), we ventured out to Rainbow Falls, positioned on the opposite side of Alta Lake;…

We arrived in Whistler a day before my first day of work. Unfortunately, things didn't go quite to plan. I worked approximately ten hours over the span of a month before I even had part time work. Jordan didn't start work till later in the season either. This made it tricky. Moving to a new…
straight out of a tony hawk video game
If you know, you know. The Whistler Train Wreck has been a popular attraction for many years, drawing in travellers of all ages. I'd seen a couple of photos from when Jordan last visited this abandoned train site and I had always wanted to explore it myself. Astoundingly, five years later, I am lucky enough…
italy / day eighteen / cinque terre
It's been a dream of mine to hike Cinque Terre and see the incredible towns that make up this iconic landscape and we are finally here! As we were only staying in Cinque Terre for two full days, the plan was to take the train to Riommagiore, which is the most southern of the towns, and walk…
italy / day seventeen / cinque terre
Jordan and I get up early and sneak in a workout before breakfast, then pick up some freshly washed clothes from the dry cleaners and some food for the train ride to Cinque Terre. We finished packing up our things and said 'arrevedici' to Roma. The train took approximately four hours to Pisa, from there…
italy / day thirteen / roma
Woke up and got straight into a HIIT workout on the small balcony of our hotel room, involving body weight exercises like squats and push ups. Managed to actually get up a good sweat, though super missing going to the gym. Scheduled in today was a trip to the Borghese Gallery, as Pop had already…
italy / day ten / otranto / gallipoli
Started the day off with a great spread in the old tannery, then made our plan of attack for the day. We only had one day but we wanted to fit in the equivalent of two day trips. The lady at the reception wished us well, even though I'm sure she didn't believe in us.…
italy / day nine / maglie
Jord and I fit in another workout at the awesome hotel gym, then fill up at breakfast before some more train travel. Maglie was the destination, but we stopped off in Lecce on the way wanting to explore the town. Our bags went into a storage locker not too far from the train station and we…
italy / day eight / matera
After all the pasta and breads, olive oil and wine, I was so excited to get to the well equiped hotel gym downstairs, that I barely slept! Jordan and I headed down to basement and I had a really good arms session. We had a quick shower and then enjoyed a westernised style breakfast buffet,…
