Fan of exploring new places, running long distances and seeking out sunshine, Kirsty is as known for her itchy feet as her dire sense of direction. After her first solo visit to Germany aged 14 she has now lived, worked, explored and studied in a plethora of countries from Spain, Equador, Laos and Canada to Cambodia, Peru and Argentina.
After months of hard work, sweat (and no doubt a few tears), we have whittled down from over 1,250 applicants from over 640 destinations in 115 countries to just ONE LUCKY WINNER! The final ten have vlogged, blogged, tweeted, posted, and pinned their way through the past few months, culminating in a week of challenges [...]
Arriving surprisingly fresh faced and bushy tailed into Bristol (given the cocktail making exploits of the night before!) the BBB finalists were quickly thrust into their next challenge – scaling the dizzy heights of Bristol’s walls and cliff faces… Arriving at ‘Undercover Rock’, a privately run climbing wall in a disused (and now fully refurbished) [...]
After a day full of action and adventure at the High Rope Challenge and getting creative (and rather messy) at York Cocoa House it was time for our fearless finalists to unwind and relax, with a spot of dinner. But dinner during Winner’s Week was never going to be a mere sandwich and a packet [...]
Tenerife, for those that don’t know, is known for more than its sunny skies and sandy stretches of coast. Sure, it’s location off the West African coast affords it a climate no other European destination can compete with, but the island is far from a one hit wonder. The clue, for anyone that has found [...]
Pulling up at the small but stylish harbour at Puerto Colón on Tenerife’s sun-soaked Costa Adeje, I had my reservations. Not, as those who know me might assume (that I was nervous about getting up close with the marine life), rather, quite the opposite. After an ill-fated trip a few years back to see whales [...]
Following on from a lengthy sojourn in the cold but beautiful Swiss resort of Villars Norman decided it was time to head to warmer climes. Having heard they were about to celebrate their legendary (and world renowned) annual ‘Carnaval’ his curiosity was piqued. Parades? Dancing? Costumes? What could this all mean? First, however, he had [...]
Adventure and exploration are often associated with a pair of sturdy walking boots and a well-worn rucksack. However, if your flighty soul is looking for a more comfortable way to ignite your sense of adventure, Mundy Cruising may have the answer. Set up in 1970, just as it looked as though the jet plane was [...]
The Tenerife Carnival attracts people from not just from the Canary Islands, but from around the globe. Billed as the second biggest carnival in the world after Rio de Janeiro it is a fusion of colour, music, dance and costumes. Lots and lots of fancy costumes. Heading out into the thick of it I made [...]
In the 48 hours I’d spent in Switzerland I’d discovered an uncanny link between the activities we’d signed up for and their ability to sit within a perfectly alliterated title. Sure, the hospitality was commendable, the wine was more than a little easy on the palate and the food was satisfying and deliciously moreish. However, [...]
I’d heard a lot about the Tenerife Carnival, or ‘Carnaval’; least of all it was the world’s biggest after the fiesta of flamboyance and sequins that is Rio. Held each February, in Tenerife’s northern capital, Santa Cruz (incidentally, twinned with Rio de Janeiro), the carnival is a vibrant celebration of parades, dancing, music and laughter. [...]
With just two nights and one full day to get to know Switzerland, you could say I was about to embark on the ultimate ‘destination speed date’. Fly out to Geneva and soak up the ski resort of Villars, including a day on the piste, then hotfoot it back home again. Faced with a challenge, [...]
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
