A-Z of Travel – X is for Xcaret & Xel-Ha
How many holiday destinations can you think of that start with an ‘X’? There are probably a million places in China, Tibet and Nepal, but the only place I could think of was Xanadu, and I’m not sure if that even exists or if it is just something Olivia Newton John came up with! So…
A-Z of Travel – W is for Writer’s Block!
Since embarking on my A-Z of travel some 22 letters ago, I have written about some of my favourite places on earth, shared some of the travel tips I have picked up over the years, and I hope I have given you a brief insight into the world of a travel mad travel organiser! However,…
A-Z of Travel – V is for (and this one is easy) VEGAS BABY!

A-Z of Travel – Unforgettable Holiday Destinations

A country so beautiful they split it…
A-Z of Travel – K is for Kilimanjaro, L is for Life-Changing, M is for Mountaineering
Forgive me doubling up here, but after extending our weekend away from 2 days to 4 days, I have a lot of catching up to do if I am to finish my A-Z of travel by 31st May! These three letters/words go wonderfully well together, and if you dream about climbing Africa’s highest mountain one…
A-Z of Travel – H is for Hotel Star Ratings

A comprehensive online directory of almost every hotel in the world, TripAdvisor provides us with opinions and reviews by ‘real travellers’ who have been there, done that, and definitely have the t-shirt – but can we really trust the source? Reviews are all well and good (my favourite to…
A-Z of Travel – G is for Gap Year

I took my Gap…
