One of the most spectacular hikes in the Picos de Europa, winding through dramatic gorges, cliffside paths and mountain tunnels before reaching the picture-perfect village of Caín. Alongside the breathtaking scenery came reflections on healing, growth and the unexpected moments that remind us how far we’ve travelled, both on the trail and within ourselves.

Hike 1 – Calabres to Poncebos
Hike 1: Arenas de Cabrales – Poncebos – Tielve – Poncebos
Our first day in the Picos de Europa eased us gently into the mountains with rivers of icy blue water, quiet valley trails, butterflies, mountain-top lunches and a refreshing swim beneath towering peaks. A beautiful reminder that sometimes the best adventures begin with taking the slower route and trusting what lies around the next bend.
The Sacred Ordinary
What will you do with this one wild and precious life? Life asked me this during one of Dr Joe Dispenza’s meditations. I will lean into everything and feel every texture, every emotion, every piece of nature. I won’t leave a rock unturned until I understand what is there to discover, what is there to…
Taking on Bodrum. Off-road.
An off-road adventure through the outskirts of Bodrum. A first for me.
Lisbon: My guide to my favourite food, wine & activities
Every time I travel to a place I get lots of requests for a guide to that city/place and so I have decided that I will try my best to create a sort of travellers tip article with a “tash style”. So, just so you know, when I travel, I do very little research…
Lisbon! The Luxurious Beginning
Day 1 of my holiday and I already feel like a brand new woman. I arrived at my hotel in the evening yesterday, with a long day of travel behind me. A couple of months earlier, I had decided to spoil myself to a luxury hotel; coerced by the delicious looking breakfast, the extra large…
A Florentine Love Affair
I’m absolutely besotted with Florence. It’s a little crazy actually. I was there in January and then, actually went there twice this month. I just find its streets, it restaurants, its views, its people, the light, the colour, the buildings….tantalising, enthralling, breathtaking. Having my heart set on getting back there, when my mum and I…
Sunshine & Pedalos in Corfu
My only previous reference to Corfu was Gerard Durrel’s My Family and Other Animals, where the lead character lived on the Island. For some reason the book stuck with me. We were lucky that for a 2-week period in July, we were docked in Corfu, right in the centre of the town and right…
A quick “pull in” to Bonifacio
Our Captain and Deck crew made a very impressive docking into the Port of Bonifacio for 24 hrs of playtime for the guests! Such a beautiful part of the Med. Watch our timelapse!
Albania- the most random fuel stop
Look, I’ve been to a couple of random spots in my life, but never more random than a fuel stop in Albania, of all places. We were in one of those fortunate positions, where our guests had jumped off for a rare few days. The crew were obviously elated, until we were told…
