The Bush Hotel, Farnham, The Sculpture Park

As a guest of The Bush Hotel in Farnham you enjoy the best of all worlds. Steeped in history but embracing contemporary design and offering a personal touch in the way that only an independent family-run hotel can. Surrounded by the Surrey hills and nestled in its own private gardens in the heart of this attractive historic town, the hotel still feels like it’s away from the hustle and bustle of the high street, with its quiet and relaxed … [Read more...]

Hiking the High Coast of Sweden

January 10, 2024 by Anders PalmLeave a Comment

Here I am, overlooking a part of the beautiful High Coast of Sweden.

The High Coast, or "Höga Kusten" in Swedish, is a unique stretch of coastline located in the northeast of Sweden, and the water you see in the distance is the Gulf of Bothnia, a northern extension of the Baltic Sea. The remarkable … [Read more...]

The Time I became a Local in a Foreign Nation…

July 20, 2023 by Michelle BorosakLeave a Comment

I heard it, I felt it in my bones, and my mind let go. Since I was a child, I dreamed of what this would be like, of what I would hear, of what I would experience, and this...isn’t what I imagined.

Now, now let me provide some context, it was my first time going to Ireland, my dreams were finally … [Read more...]

April 1, 2023 by Marius IliescuLeave a Comment

Probably the most underrated destination in Eastern Europe, Romania has a lot more to offer than just the ‘land of Dracula’ tag it’s so famous for. The country has a rich Game of Thrones-like history with many twists and turns which you can learn about by visiting the many medieval castles (including Bran Castle aka Bran Castle) and cities such as Brasov, Sibiu and Cluj-Napoca.
