Love this. Very dedicated waiting 7 months!

Machu Picchu reopens for a single tourist who's been stranded in Peru for seven months After an unexpected Covid-19 induced seven month stay in Peru, Jesse Katayama is finally crossing "visit Machu Picchu" off of his bucket list.

EPIC doesn't quite cut it after this weekend's adventures in Snowdonia!

The Snowdon Ranger Path was so much harder than I had anticipated. Battling with 50mph side winds and rain from the get go, following a 1.15 hour cycle ride through the Welsh hills just added to the challenge! Thank god for an awesome group who kept me going!

Was a nice relief to kayak on such lovely waters afterwards.

Thank you and

Love love LOVE

Brilliant pic. The moon looks unreal 🌕

Big surf and a bright moonrise took centre stage at Bondi Beach over the weekend 🌕✨

IG/elisaeves captured the ‘sunset casting a golden glow over the beach’ and the phenomenal 'strawberry' moonrise whilst visiting Bondi Beach in Sydney.com's Eastern Suburbs over the weekend. Sydney’s beaches have now reopened with a limit of 500 people for surfing, swimming, walking, running and are just as beautiful as ever despite it being winter here in Australia!

Sometimes it's nice to be far from civilisation. Especially right now! Memories of The Aussie Outback 🇦🇺

You won't find many better places to watch the sunrise than over Australia's epic Kings Canyon!

The canyon can be found in Watarrka National Park which covers 71,000 hectares (274 square miles) and has been home to the Luritja Aboriginal people for more than 20,000 years.

This year's planned trip to is now 100% OFF so like many, I'm now resigned to travelling vicariously through my memories!
