Carrying on our breakfast themed weird and wonderful spring traditions, is that of the Bosnian 'Cimburijada'. Translated to 'The Festival of Scrambled Eggs', it's exactly what you're probably imagining. In Zenica in Bosnia, the whole city will wake up to delightful smells of the largest breakfast ever. A huge pan set by the river with a seemingly endless quantity of eggs. The residents of Zenica gather round to joyfully shove as many eggs as they please down the gullet, in celebration of the bir

If you ever happen to be in the scenic area of the Riviera Maya and fancied an exhilarating and potentially nerve-wracking day out, then look no further than Xplor. Oh, and if you’re into caves, it has that too. Loads of them!

You're head to toe in graduation robes and have just taken a million pictures with your family that will haunt your living room, and your grandparents', for approximately the next 20 years. Better get one on your good side. You shake the sweaty hand of the university dean and wonder if your legs will make it down that aisle without buckling. But you've g

What came next was the short walk from our van to the descent into the icy water. I'm afraid to say the idea of getting a slow-mo video of me walking through this icy tundra crossed my mind, but immediately flew out again. I soon took to flailing along the ice as, being already co-ordinately challenged, wasn't helped by a pure icy downward slope. Wha

Yes, you read that right. If you're looking for an easy-to-follow guide on how to best pass your driving test, and come home with that red license in hand and a new lease of road-related freedom, then look no further!

Only joking, this isn't for you. This is a simple guide on how best to FAIL that test, so you can tell all your friends and family what a complete loser you are! Joking again. Only the best people fail their test, so let's not worry. Let's embrace our collective failures, it's cha
