What to know before backpacking in Europe

Many people dream of backpacking in Europe. And given the continent is full of history, culture, great food, scenery (and more!) it's easy to see why. Europe is an ideal place for first-time backpackers as in general it's pretty safe and it's also easy to get around. Though there are likely language barriers, you can still get around if you only speak English (the same can't exactly be said for China!). If you're keen to ...

Van life interior inspiration for your camper van conversion!

by Hannah Kacary Adventurer HQ

Have you ever dreamed of living the van life? Back in 2017 when we sold everything we owned and moved to Canada we did just that! We spent 5 months living out of our self-converted campervan, Elvis. We still have him, and use him on vacations and weekend trips. I love him but I still end up spending a lot of time looking at other peoples' van life interiors for inspiration if we decide to ...

The best waterfalls near Kamloops

by Hannah Kacary Kamloops

We've moved from Vancouver to Sun Peaks near Kamloops for the winter season and have been trying to get out and explore when we're not skiing. On our adventures, we've found some of the best waterfalls near Kamloops, BC. We managed to do some exploring before the snow fell and some more since. It's fair to say there are tonnes of exploring to do around Kamloops and it's definitely much quieter than the areas around ...

The Best Hot Springs in BC

by Hannah Kacary British Colubmia

Who loves a hot spring? I do! There's something incredibly relaxing about soaking in a hot spring after a hike or on a cold day, or just because. One of my favourite days on our USA road trip was when we stumbled across a tonne of hot springs near Mammoth in California. Luckily for me, there are some options for hot springs near Vancouver and even fantastic BC hot springs to explore if you're willing ...

Best things To do In Snowdonia National Park

by Hannah Kacary Snowdonia

Snowdonia is a great UK destination for adventure. It’s easy to forget about your own backyard and dream of faraway adventures but I think there are plenty of things to do in Snowdonia. Snowdonia is known in Welsh as Eryri which translates to English as “places of the eagles”. Whilst I can’t guarantee you’ll spot an eagle when you visit Snowdonia, I can guarantee you won’t be short of ideas on things to do in ...

by Hannah Kacary Gothenburg

If you’re looking for Christmas city breaks in Europe then make sure to visit the Liseberg Christmas market in Gothenburg. Christmas in Europe is a special time of year and this Gothenburg Christmas market might just be the best Christmas market in Europe! It was exactly what I was after when I was researching Europe’s best Christmas markets. I was after a Christmas break in Europe and came across Gothenburg in Sweden when I searched ...

How to visit the Gothenburg Archipelago

by Hannah Kacary Gothenburg

Whilst enjoying a winter city break in Gothenburg we travelled out to the southern archipelago. It takes only twenty minutes on the tram from central Gothenburg to get to the port of Salthomen which is the gateway to the southern Gothenburg archipelago. Gothenburg's archipelago has 5,000 permanent residents and another 6,000 residents during the summer months. All the islands are strictly car free but that doesn't mean you won't see any vehicles; the residents of ...

The alternative weekend guide: Cologne

by Hannah Kacary Cologne

A weekend in Cologne, or Koln, is the ideal length of time for visiting this city. You could definitely spend longer but a weekend in Cologne, Germany will give you enough time to see what this German city is all about. Cologne is just an hour's flight away from London, pretty cheap to get there if you book early enough and the city has such a great laid back vibe to it that you'll return ...
