Meet Emily Beor-Roberts

My most memorable experience has got to be my trip to Rurrenabaque in the Amazon Rainforest in Bolivia. It began with a boat trip down the river where I unexpectedly had a monkey jump onto my lap to eat my banana. Then in the afternoon, after a bit of piranha fishing and caiman spotting, we were told to jump into the water as the guide spotted a large group of about 15 pink dolphins. Initially, we were all rather hesitant considering our activities over the morning, but we all quickly decided this was a once in a lifetime opportunity. It was the most surreal experience as the dolphins would swim up to and around us, before going missing and suddenly popping up behind you when you least expected it. If all those activities weren’t quite enough, we then watched the most incredible sunset from the river bank while eating the piranha we had caught earlier in the day (it was a lot tastier than you’d expect).

To get off the beaten track, avoid the crowds, and discover the true beauty of Mallorca I would definitely recommend a visit to Binissalem. Binissalem is a small town located in the centre of the island, and is known to be the island’s ‘wine capital’. Surrounded by some of the island’s best vineyards, you can go on guided tours around the wineries and cellars whilst tasting a variety of wines. Make sure to visit Terra di Vino, a genuine Italian restaurant located on the terrace of the town’s main square, with views of the 15th-century Gothic church of Santa Maria de Robines. It is a favourite to locals and offers the most delicious homemade pasta which you can accompany with the local wines. Whilst the menu looks short, it’s all about the specials here which the chef will come out to explain to you.
