We knew when we chose to visit a European city in the darkest depths of winter that we were taking a risk, but hey, it's always sunny in Porto right? Wrong, wrong, wrong. Three days of rain and stormy skies do not lots of beautiful photographs make! So, instead, we did what any sensible people would do and explored the port scene. With locals recommendations we sought out hidden bars, cool little cellars and funky cafes, and drank, and drank and drank. Sure, we may not have taken all the photos we wanted but we got to see a whole other side of the city that we never would have had time to explore had the sun been out. Best not ask about the hangovers though... 😳 ___ ___ #porto #Portugal #visitportugal #visitporto #igers_porto #igersporto #cityscape #port #theprettycities #theculturetrip #topportugalphoto #portugalalive #discoverportugal #portolovers #ig_europa #mytinyatlas #exploretocreate #beautifuldestinations #skyline #darlingescapes #stayandwander #justgoshoot #goldenhour ##lifewelltravelled #welivetoexplore #tlpicks #worldcaptures #letsgoeverywhere #travelawesome #passionpassport
Azulejos are just one of the reasons we could spend hours roaming the streets of Porto. These colourful tiles - a very Portuguese thing -  adorn the walls of restaurants, train stations and homes and provide beautiful pops of colour and art around the city. Covered from head to toe in blue and white tiles, the Capela das Almas is one of the prettiest examples of how azulejos are used. But, did you know these particular tiles aren't actually as old as you'd think? ___ ___ #liveintrepid #lifewelltravelled #passionpassport #traveldeeper #beautifuldestinations #ig_europa #theprettycities #porto #portugal #visitportugal #visitporto #theculturetrip #justgoshoot #tlpicks #welivetoexplore #igers_porto #letsgoeverywhere #igersporto #girlmeetsworld #sheisnotlost #dametraveler #wearetravelgirls #tiles #mosaic #openmyworld #worldcaptures #girlslovetravel #theprettycities #traveletting
Hanging out at the edge of the Rhine. ____ Fun fact: see the green space across the river? Instead of employing a team of mowers to keep the grass in check, instead Dusseldorf could council had the genius idea to bring in herds of sheep and a few shepherds. The sheep get fed AND it's better for the environment! ____ #dusseldorf #duesseldorf #Germany #germanytourism #bridge #cityscape #river #architecture #architecturelovers #epicview #rhine #beautifulview #travelblogger #seetheworld #exploretocreate #stayandwander #theprettycities #ig_deutschland #mytinyatlas #passionpassport #passportready #architecturalphotography #instatravel #vscotravel #super_europe #topeuropephoto #darlingescapes
Did you know that Dusseldorf is home to one of the world's largest Japanese populations? Nope, we had no idea either! This means that not only can you get hold of the most amazing ramen of your life (seriously, we're still dreaming about it!) but you can get your fix of blossom season without a long haul flight! Of course, we're still dying to go to Japan, but having a little taste of it in Germany? Well, that was awesome! ___ ___ #dusseldorf #duesseldorf #germanytourism #Germany #visitduesseldorf #visitgermany #blossom #spring #japanese #japaneseblossom #cherryblossom #tree #pink #blue #traveltocreate #seetheworld #springtime #flowerstagram #super_europe #topeuropephoto #dametraveler #darlingescapes #beautifuldestinations #worlderlust #passionpassport #theprettycities
Anybody who knows us, knows that we're a little bit obsessed with gin (in fact without it, we probably wouldn't have ended up on that one way ticket to Mexico all those years ago!) And so, when @airbnb contacted us to try out one of their fantastic new experiences in London, picking a night that involved making our own batch of gin was an absolute no brainer! ___ ___ #gin #london #distillery #ginstagram #ginandtonic #hackney #eastlondon #gintonic #ginlovers #ginoclock #hackneydowns #hackneydownsstudios #artisan #airbnb #airbnbexperience #visitlondon #secretlondon #makeyourown #create #microdistillery #handcrafted #smallbatch #mytinyatlas #exploretocreate #travelblogger #mydarlinglondon #lovelondon #sponsored
