A Journey Through Nouvelle-Aquitaine

In a city upon a hill. Overlooking the mornings mists. Where the birds dance. It seems that there’s still plenty dreams to be stepped into in this part of southwest France.

Orange is the New Black: Volcano Boarding in Nicaragua

No trip to Nicaragua is complete without a morning spent chucking yourself, at high speed, down the side of a volcano. It's messy, but bloody hell it's fun.

Things to Do in Granada: What to Hit and What to Miss

We loved our time in Granada - so much so, we visited twice. But some of the popular things to do aren't actually that exciting, interesting or worth the money. Here's our guide on what to hit and what to miss!

Menorca // Sitting here in the plaça writing this caption with a white wine and one euro caña, listening to people speak a language that isn’t our own. We have a reservation to eat outside at 9.30 at a place that caught our eye this afternoon, and then we’ll see where the night takes us. We discovered that we like straight vermut earlier, and there’s a bar by the port that’s open ‘til 2 am…sounds like fate no? Travelling, how we’ve missed you. #TheConstantlyCurious
Hiatus // It's been quite a while since we posted here, and it would be lovely to tell you all that our absence was fuelled by 'ran an Ironman, got buff, fully detoxed, discovered the meaning of life high up a hill in the Highlands, got a cat, dug up a priceless doubloon in the back garden, ate exotic biscuits, and become qualified in teaching Esperanto.' Alas, life has simply been lived. We've also not travelled here in the UK since York because, well, we've had our fill and spent as much money as we're happy to spend on domestic adventures this summer. Also, the truth is that many of the things we love so much about travelling ain't possible or present in this fair isle we call home; the itch just doesn't get scratched. (we know a bunch of you feel exactly the same; if you don't though, that's fine). In addition, many obvious and not-so-obvious barriers to overseas travel remain in place for UK citizens too, and we just couldn't be arsed with dealing with the uncertainty and infl
Guides // Scenes from a morning stroll in Palermo. We're busy writing several new Sicily blog posts at the moment, with a new east coast road trip itinerary and guides to Catania, Syracuse, Ragusa, and few little gems by the sea hopefully ready for you next week. But, if you need any inspiration or ideas for this stunning Italian island right now, you can already find lots on the blog to get you started - just head over to our Italy page via the links in the bio! #TheConstantlyCurious
西西里岛/ /你想发现了数不清的年代tory of Sicily? Ad | Through a unique blend of travel, craftsmanship and storytelling, @Ishkar.co brings a more nuanced side to places the world tends to view through a single lens and one-sided narratives. So, why is a company rooted in tours to Afghanistan now doing a tour of an island in the south of Italy? Sicily has always been a crossroads of civilisations and a treasure trove of stories, from its Greek, Roman, Arabic and Norman heritage to the role it is playing in today’s migratory routes north from Africa. Yet, many people simply associate it with the Italian Mafia and The Godfather movies. Certainly, they have played an important role in the island's recent history, but are only one small element of Sicily’s sweeping story (and not the most interesting chapter of it!). The Ishkar tour will follow the threads of these stories with award-winning Sicilian photographer Glauco Canalis, whilst taking in Sicily&
Harbour // Essaouira is the town we almost didn't make it to. Before arriving in Morocco, and in our first few days in Marrakech, many people said it wasn't worth a visit. For them, this outpost on the Atlantic coast was windy, a little ugly and, if you did decided to make the journey, then a day was really enough. Within minutes of arriving at the old city walls, we knew they had made a mistake; this was our sort of place. Interestingly, there's another version of the second photo in this series which has Emily in a hat; it's our most stolen photo ever (by companies and websites). Although it still doesn't beat the time we were walking down a street in Cartagena and saw a shot of Andrew in a hammock plastered all over their advertising! #TheConstantlyCurious
Create // In paid partnership with Adobe. When seeking out the most modern of modern architecture in Manchester, there's only one place to head - MediaCity! We use @adobe @lightroom to edit our photos, so we were delighted when they asked us to share how we elevate our architectural photography. With striking modern buildings like this, it's all about the lines, angles, shadows and light - and it's in the editing stage where the drama of these can be brought to the fore to showcase what we saw, but the camera didn't capture. Swipe right to see the 'before' version, and head over to our Stories to see the full breakdown of our Lightroom editing process for this image. #Lightroom #architecturephotography #AdobePartner
