Unfortunately nicknamed the Hoary Marmot after discovering this cute little critter in North America, Emily enjoys the occasional banterous office exchange. Forming a contributing part of the crazy content team, her particular passions lie in art, cinema, theatre and of course travel. Reigning Italy above all else, she dreams of fleeing the country to float upon a cultural cloud on the continent.
Ahoy there, me mateys. Yesterday the motley crew set sail for the final Winners’ Week task: a pirate walk around Bristol. Unearthing a whole host of swagger from buried booty to Blackbeard’s home, Smugglers Cave to Matthew Shipyard, the finalists soaked up the city’s swashbuckling past. Trudging along Bristol’s picturesque harbour with Pirate Pete at [...]
Raring to go after a good night’s rest, the finalists headed out to explore Bristol’s coolest subterranean culture: the Street Art scene. Armed with the knowledge of their guides for the day - Dan and Rob - the contestants traipsed around from College Green to Stoke’s Croft staring at iconic street artists such as Banksy and Inkie. Getting to [...]
Cranking up the heat, My Destination took the competition to sweltering extremes with last night’s BBB challenge: a Firewalk. No one said it would be easy. After preparing themselves mentally and physically with a series of emotional exercises, the group connected through discussions about individual life goals and ambitions. A circle of trust was established. [...]
Following a quick stop off at Platform 9 and ¾ (or King’s Cross for us local Londoners), the contestants were ushered onto a train out of town. Cody couldn’t contain his excitement when he thought they were being taken to Hogwarts but, alas, it wasn’t meant to be. York beckoned. After traversing the city walls [...]
As I stepped off the tin can categorised as an airplane by Air Tahiti, a wall of impenetrable warmth enveloped me in its sticky clutches. I had arrived. Three planes, four airports and 17 hours of travel later, and I had made it to the island of Bora Bora. Memories of past dissolutions, petty squabbles [...]
With shaking hands and a heavy heart, I stepped up towards my perpetrator: a shiny piece of innocuous metal. For most, a bicycle doesn’t elicit this type of response but, then again, most people don’t wait fourteen years before getting back on one. So there I was, in that very situation, about to brave the [...]
I shimmied along Singapore’s bustling Orchard Road, full of wide-eyed wonderment. It was my first trip to Southeast Asia as a fully-fledged adult and I’d be damned if I wasn’t going to enjoy it. My three-day itinerary was packed full of so many amazing sights that there wasn’t even time for a nanosecond of doubt. [...]
When you travel to a place as beautiful as Bali, sometimes words fail. Try as you might to scratch your head for some suitable prose, but all that materialises (besides a pathetically blank page) are the whimpering sounds of pent-up frustration. Any attempts to verablise ancient temples, crafted woodwork and culinary spices are all in [...]
Bursting with tropical affluence, from swaying palm trees to softly lapping waves, Barbados begs you to stay upon its sandy shores. So, on a recent trip to the sunny Caribbean island, that’s exactly what I did. Rising early each morning (thank you jet lag), I ambled along the craggy coastline, swam in the cobalt-blue waters [...]
My eyes glazed over as the perpetrator continued his relentlessly probing. I tried my best to shelf my bucket-load of British Reserve but it just wasn’t happening. ‘Err…I’m a travel writer’, I mustered quietly in response to his latest inquiry. Oh no here it comes, I thought, the onslaught of a rejuvenated barrage. I was [...]
For most people, the French Polynesian islands are up there with paradise. Swathes of thatched-roof bungalows, rippling lagoons and fragrant hibiscus flowers, surrounded by the azure palette of the Pacific Ocean…yes, life doesn’t get much better. Famed for the world’s most romantic beaches, sprinkled with talcum-soft sand, private islets and shimmering coral reefs, Bora Bora [...]
We know that journeying from place to place can sometimes take a while, and calls of ‘Are we there yet?’ can be somewhat distracting. In light of this we’ve come
