Watching the rugby world cup has reminded me of my English roots, and even though I’ve written a couple of blogs on specific areas of the UK, I’ve not written about this amazing country in general. For those that are not aware, I grew up in England, right in the heart of the country near […]
Flying into Santiago, we knew that it would be quite cool after a week in Brazil – and after all, it is ski season, and Chile is becoming renowned for its skiing – but apart from that, we really had no idea what to expect. And for me, Santiago was a real surprise. The city

It’s a city not always on the main tourist trail, but one that most definitely should be always included as part of your Brazilian adventure!

We were pushed for time to squeeze everything in on our trip to the States, but felt it was important to include the Nation’s capital! Our flights landed at 4.00pm
