Cardiff, the capital of Wales, was the last capital city in the United Kingdom for me to visit! Prior to my visit I hadn't had rave recommendations from friends and colleagues, but I was determined that as a capital city there must be some great things to see and do. Spoiler: there is! The city has some great places to eat, and as it's much smaller than London, Cardiff is incredibly easy to explore on foot. 

Before travelling to Peru I did a lot of research into what I should pack for my two nights in the Amazon Jungle. Because if you forget to pack anything important, there are no shops in the jungle to grab anything last minute! The climate in the rainforest is hot and humid, but because of the bugs and insects you need to cover up as much as possible whilst trying to stay cool as well.

Arequipa, although not as well known as the likes of Lima and Cusco, is Peru's second-largest city and one that shouldn't be missed when travelling through Peru. The city is surrounded by three impressive volcanoes, Mount Misti, Mount Pikchu Pikchu, and Mount Chachani, and the city centre has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 

Arequipa is an amazing place to visit for a day or two!
