Taiwan’s cinema captured my heart. Taiwanese cinema is a highlight reel of culture and landscapes with cinematic cityscapes of spiralling alleyways and plotlines, to serene countryside scenes. In this article, I share the best movies about Taiwan. I highly recommend watching some before travelling to Taiwan.
There’s more to Vietnam films than just war films. When we decided to travel to Vietnam, I realised that the only “Vietnamese” films I had seen were American war films, like Apocalypse Now and Platoon. All I remembered of them was a lot of explosions, guns and a questionable and outdated binary between Americans/Vietnamese as Civilised/Savages.
Portugal’s Douro Valley stole our hearts. We jumped on a rented scooter in Porto and headed out into the rolling, vineyard-covered hills of the Douro wine region. The winding road spiralled through vineyards. They took us past tiny hillside villages and down along the riverside of the Douro river.

Lisbon or Porto — Por que não ambos? (Why not both?)
If we’re telling the truth, we loved Lisbon and Porto so much that it’s hard to choose. The best outcome is getting both into your Portugal travel itinerary, but if you’re tight on time and have to choose between the two gorgeous cities of Lisbon and Porto then this Lisbon vs Porto guide is for you.
There’s a reason Cornwall is one of the UK’s best summer holiday destinations. This gorgeous region is home to rugged coastal walks, beautiful sandy beaches and magical castle ruins. Not to mention some of the best seaside grub around too. In this Cornwall travel guide, I share my favourite places to visit in Cornwall.
Liverpool is one of the UK cities I love the most. If I lived up north in the UK, there’s no doubt that Liverpool is where I’d want to be. This northern city is a favourite of mine and Luke’s for its gorgeous Royal Albert Dock, eclectic mix of old industrial buildings and modern architecture, great coffee shops and cheap pints.
Dorset is the perfect UK summer destination this year for socially-distanced walking routes, rural viewpoints, large beaches and great history. Plan ahead and you’ll be able to choose places to visit and walking routes where you’ll only see a handful of other people.
Edinburgh is top of the wish list for many travellers to the UK. The Royal Mile, the cobbled streets and grand castle, the tartan kilts and bagpipes, the haggis and Scottish whiskey, are what this capital city is known for. In this Edinburgh travel guide, we explore the best of Scotland’s capital city.
