Seeing the chimpanzee at the Tacugama Sanctuary wa

Seeing the chimpanzee at the Tacugama Sanctuary was at the top of my list when in Freetown Sierra Leone recently. The Sanctuary rescues & rehabilitates these lovable monkeys from people who unfortunately keep them as pets & treat them cruelly.
When they arrive, the Sanctuary helps them slowly to reintegrate into family groups & into the wild, where they can be watched & protected from any further cruelty from others. If you want to know more about this amazing organisation, please feel free to check out their IG @tacugama

Waking up to this amazing sunrise & views while glamping on Banana Island in West Africa.
I just spent the most incredible week in Sierra Leone learning about the culture & people & seeing what this country had to offer. There are 3 islands that make up Banana Islands Dublin, Rickets & Banana, all linked via Stone causeway. These islands are a popular attraction from Freetown for diving, nature & hiking, just to name a few.

It is compulsory to have a drink when in the mount

It is compulsory to have a drink when in the mountains? Who wants to join me? As l have gotten older, l have certainly appreciate the hotel amenities a little more than l used to. Having spas, laying by the pool & sitting on the terrace, taking everything in now is a part of my ski holiday.
This is the stunning Les Campanules hotel in Tignes.This beautiful hotel had an amazing terrace & heated outdoor infinity pool, taking in these views 😍 which you can enjoy while on your ski holiday. (Press Invite)

Can you believe this is Egypt? This place is known

Can you believe this is Egypt? This place is known as the white desert or the shara el Beyda, which is a protected area in a national park of Egypt. A clear contract from the black desert we visited the next day.
It is a popular tourist destination for outdoor lovers for its rock formations created by limestone & chalk. We were about to camp here & watch the sunset and sunrise & it looked amazing, reflecting on the rocks.
This was truly a surreal experience.

Seeing the Luxor Temple at night & walking down the avenue of Sphinxes or also known as the kings festival road was a surreal experience to be on
The 2.7kms long avenue connects with another famous historic landmark, the Karnak Temple.

Did you know that Egypt has a black desert? One of my favourite parts of my trip to Egypt was camping, hiking & exploring both the black & white deserts. It was literally like you were on another planet.
There are no inhabitants here apart from the smal amount tourist that come to visit & the stones/hills get there colour due to volcanic activity millions of years ago.
I was a little nervous about doing this small scrabbling & hike up the mountain due to my pacemaker & defibrillator but everything was OK & the views were definitely worth it.

Do you know that Finland has many amazing castle's

Do you know that Finland has many amazing castle's? Come on a short tour with me through Turku Castle & see the magical courtyards, Royal chambers & nuns Chapel. Turku Castle was built in the 1280's & is located on the Aura River in Turku. The oldest city in Finland & the former capital city of Finland. Its certainly a city adding to your list when in Finland #PressTrip @ourfinland

Don't you think sunflowers make everything happy?

Don't you think sunflowers make everything happy? 🌻🌻🌻 It is currently sunflower season in Finnish & we were lucky enough to come across this gorgeous sunflower field while travelling across the Archipelago Islands from Houtskär to Turku. It was such an unexpected surprise to see on & they definitely made my day. 🌻🌻
Disclaimer: No sunflowers were hurt in my reel, l stayed on a path & did not walk into the field 🙂 #presstrip #VisitFinland @ourfinland

How amazing is the sky in the Archipelago islands

How amazing is the sky in the Archipelago islands in Finland at 11pm at night? Probably one of the most beautiful ferry crossings that I have ever done. Bridges & ferries are the two main ways to get around the islands by land. Though most people use their own boats.
Finland is known to have the world's largest Archipelago, consisting of a whopping 80k islands!! (Press Trip) @ourfinland
