Pakistan, a country that doesn’t tend to pop up in the ‘top 10 places to travel this year’ but it should. My experience of Pakistan was varied. We traveled around the cities, explored the rural villages and camped under the stars and among mountains. It was sensational and one of the greatest adventures I’ve done. …

Craving a winter escape. The snow, mountains, adventure and a cosy cabin in the woods. I clicked the book button. Logging into Instagram, scrolling through endless pictures of log cabins.
