Following the trail of two lazy lovers, dawdling hand in hand across Pont des Arts with the warm afternoon sun kissing their cheeks, I couldn’t help but smile; this was Paris. The pink cherry blossom falling in a gentle whirlwind around us and the glint of the rippling Seine catching my eye, I’d come to [...]
So you’ve probably seen all the hype from our Biggest, Baddest Bucket List competition, and have likely got to thinking: what’s on my bucket list? Would you go cage diving with great white sharks, bungee jump off the Victoria Falls Bridge or sky dive over the Great Barrier Reef in Australia? Perhaps you’d like to [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
Apparently I’m an adult. But as I walked beneath the glowing lights of the golden arch, my eyes widening at the sight of the magical haze of the trickling azure blue waterfall, my inner child quickly came to the surface. Joining the excited giggles and squeaks of the kids that surrounded me, I hurriedly [...]
Little did I know 6 years ago, as I wandered through the streets of Bangkok bright eyed but weary, with a backpack on my shoulders and an air of carefree neglect that I would be back some years later… staying at the Mandarin Oriental. As the host city for the My Destination 4th annual conference [...]
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 [...]
There are a few things that stick in my mind when I think about Hawaii: My skydive (that was quite a biggie), the impressive city/beach dynamic of Honolulu and the awesome strength of the pacific waves; but more than anything else, I remember the colour. It’s as if the entire state has turned up the saturation dial on nature’s Photoshop. [...]
A few weeks ago, the My Destination content team complied a list of the top 50 Sights to See Before it’s Too Late. In that list was Venice, Italy. Due to the rise in sea levels and the eroding stone and wooden foundations, the city is sinking on an average of 2-3 millimetres a year. [...]
Latex. Never before had I thought I would wear latex. Luckily for me, however, the Bristol Zombie Walk didn’t mean the kind of latex women squeeze and shimmy their way into, but latex of the make-up variety. Equipped with three bottles of the stuff, tissue paper, a woolly hat and a litre of fake blood, [...]
