Chamonix is famous as a ski destination, but on this trip we visited during early summer. It was an active week-long trip full of hiking, biking and climbing, and turned out to be one of our favourite Europe trips of all time!

We stayed in the nearby village of Servoz, away from the more crowded centre of Chamonix, rented a car, and explored on foot, bike and via ferrata. We share the full itinerary in this voice note.

2026 was our first time properly stopping in Split, even though we've visited Croatia before. We had just stepped off a three-day sailing trip, spent a few quiet, magical days unwinding on the island of Šolta, and then found ourselves with one final night in the city before an early flight home.

Many travellers told us that India is magical, but also overwhelming and crazy at times. Zooming rickshaws, traffic noise, heavy crowds and packed trains. Not sure we were ready for the intense, heady-side of India, we researched the south to find a “soft India” trip for our first foray into this beautiful and chaotic country.

We decided on Kerala.

This south Indian state known for being one of the cleanest and safest states, and with 100% literacy rates locals are proud of. We visited Kerala in November and spent two weeks exploring Kerala’s crumbling colonial cities, tranquil backwaters, verdant tea plantations and scorching beaches.
