Walking the Way of St Francis, Italy

Walking in the footsteps of St Francis

The Way of St Francis is an important European pilgrimage route but many who walk it aren’t religious because it also takes you through the best of Italy!

Multnomah Falls Hike, Portland, Oregon, USA

Portland’s cool change

If you’re looking for some hiking near Portland, then this one is for you. As well as incredible waterfalls, you’ll be amazed by what else there is to find!

Hiking the dams above Kaprun, Zell am See, Austria

Powerful landscapes

It’s not often than an industrial construction improves the landscape but that’s just what I think these dams above Kaprun in Austria do!

Start of Queen Charlotte Track, New Zealand

Should I walk New Zealand?

I only get a chance to try the start of New Zealand’s Queen Charlotte Track – but it has inspired me to start something new.

Monro Beach walk, South Island, New Zealand

Through rainforest to sea

The Monro Beach track in New Zealand is beautiful – and easy! Let me take you along the path with these photos.

Hiking around Bergen, Norway

In Bergen, head for the hills!

You can’t understand Bergen without going up to the mountains. It’s not about the view – but because nature and urbanity are connected here in Norway.

Rocky Mountain Hike, Wanaka, New Zealand

Kia ora to New Zealand’s South Island

I can’t believe this is the first time I’ve travelled in New Zealand. I start the trip with this stunning hike up Rocky Mountain near Wanaka on the South Island.

Spoleto - Norcia Railway, Umbria, Italy

Back on track

This old railway line between the towns of Spoleto and Norcia offers an incredible walk through the Umbrian countryside.

Cameron Highlands hiking, Malaysia

A tea change

While it’s the cool climate and stunning views that attract most people to Malaysia’s Cameron Highlands, I think hiking is the best way to explore!
