Hiking
Our hike from Säbysjön lake to Järvafältets nature reserve started at Akalla metro station — which was the most direct route based on where we were staying. The area was crammed with apartment blocks so it was hard to imagine a lake and nature reserve nearby but green space was just

Our final week in Sweden was a holiday which started with a train journey from Stockholm to the Dalarna region. We spent most of our time exploring the great outdoors Sweden has to offer. These photos were taken on our first hike of the week from the centre of Borlänge

This video marks the end of our time in Sweden sob. We booked some time off work for the last week and explored Dalarna, an area filled with deep forests and lakes. This part of our trip was very last minute so we didn't get a chance to

Sunday was a slow morning. We originally planned to spend the day walking but it took us a while to get up, organised and out of the door. After a quick look at the map, we decided to head to Østmarka, a forest located to the East of Oslo and
Hiking
A trip to Oslo marks the start of our travel adventures this year and a hike around Nordmarka was at the top of our list of things to do. I'd been longing to go back after visiting a couple of years ago and this time was every bit

My alarm went off at 6:45am on Saturday morning, ready for a trip to London. Thankfully I checked the trains before walking all the way to the station because they were cancelled due to the snow. I had no other plans so I walked up to the forest with
Hiking
Rising early is not one of my strengths but it's a little easier with a scenic walk or hike as an incentive. On this occasion that incentive was the viewpoint at Mam Tor, a 517m hill overlooking the Edale Valley in the Peak District (UK). Yes, I got

Our hike along the Brother's Creek Loop started like many others during our trip — with a bear warning. This one put us on edge a little more than the others because it wasn't permanent. We double wrapped and sealed our lunch in a plastic bag (tip)

The day started with this smoky view of Vancouver from the North Shore. In fact, this was our view over breakfast most days. I sat eating hash browns, eggs and toast while watching footage of the BC wildfires on the news. Sad start to a post, but true. We followed

Lynn Canyon Park was a great place to go hiking for a few hours. Beautiful scenery, waterfalls and plenty of places to sit along the creek. Heat from the BC wildfires pushed the temperature into the 30's which isn't ideal for hiking so we weren'

Grouse Mountain was our final hike in North Vancouver but it was also my favourite so I couldn't wait to write about it. There are two trails on this mountain: The Grouse Grind and BCMC trail. The Grouse Grind can be quite crowded so we opted for the

I was a bit torn on Sunday. It was hot so I wanted to lay on the sofa all day. But I also really wanted to walk up to the forest. With only a few hours left of the weekend, I decided the latter was a better option. As I
