October 1, 2026 by Dave2 Comments

We love when cities inspire us, the perfect combination of visual charm, combined with natural beauty and a product known worldwide (port). The part of Porto located along the banks of the Douro River where it empties into the Mediterranean Sea is almost surreal with its colorful historic buildings lining both sides of the river, beautiful bridges spanning its expanse and major port houses dotting the city.

July 6, 2026 by Axel ThomasLeave a Comment

I have visited a lot of famous places that left me cold, and a few ordinary ones that gave me goosebumps. An English football ground on matchday belongs firmly in the second group. Last autumn I finally did the trip I had been promising myself for years: a loose loop around England to see four of its great stadiums, soak up the cities around them, and work out whether the atmosphere really lives up to the hype.

Last year I built a trip around exactly that, chasing the great British summer of sport from London out to the coast, and it turned into one of my favourite holidays in years. If you plan to follow … [Read more...]
