ANTARCTICA
PAULETTE & JON'S AMAZING ANTARCTIC ADVENTURE
“Imagine being completely surrounded by snow-covered, tall craggy mountains with icebergs of all shapes and sizes floating past, and sea-fog descending and lifting again to reveal the most stunning scenery you have ever seen in your life. It is so very eerie to stand out on the deck in the very thick fog with icebergs looming out of the mist, gliding past the ship, and then disappearing again behind us.”
Paulette & Jon have visited over 80 countries, but their trip to the Antarctic is now right at the top of their list of recommendations of ‘must-see' places in the world.’ In fact, they insist that every keen traveler just HAS to visit Antarctica.

MONGOLIA
"MAGnificent Mongolia" with Leigh & Martin GILLARD
The total Mongolian experience gave a new meaning to the word “Awesome!” The space, the history, the feeling of peace and the welcome from the local people.
​
The nomads are so trusting by sharing their personal space with complete strangers.
PLEASE future travelers! Don’t ever do anything to destroy this trust.

SPAIN
"The most dangerous Walk in the world!"
with Alison & Graeme PikE & Jamie & jesse
"The Most Dangerous Walk in the World!" was the headline that caught our eye while we were researching places to go and things to see on our upcoming trip to Spain. We like a bit of excitement and this hike looked pretty spectacular. We checked it out with the rest of the travelers and we all agreed it was a Must-Do!
Did it live up to our expectations?
​
Oh yes! Amazing scenery! Breathtaking views! Huge rock
faces & canyon walls and the river a long, long, way below.
Lots of 'Wow' moments. Around every corner or bend, there was another awesome sight!

USA- WASHINGTON DC
WASHINGTON DC- Trip Review & TIPS
with Sue & Philip Williams
Washington was everything we expected and more. The overall impression is of grandeur. As a city built to be the capital, it has to have been done with great large federal buildings and architecture that inspires. If you love museums and history, you will love this city.
Overall
We found Airbnb was ideal for Washington DC and we were happy to get around on the transport system. We loved Washington and would go back again and there are not many places we say that about.
It truly gives you the impression of grandeur and government, and we enjoyed the ability to be a total nerd in all the museums.
