I absolutely love trying new foods, and while I definitely wouldn’t eat anything that was still alive (grubs) or something I believe to be cruel (shark fin soup), I will pretty much try anything on the menu when I visit a foreign land – after all, isn’t that part of the fun! On my travels…

Do You Suffer from Travel Nerves?
Having learnt the ‘art’ of travel from my extremely chilled out other half, I can honestly say I would head to the airport right now with nothing more than my passport, a credit card and a few changes of clothes – destination unknown. I know there are many travellers out there who feel the same,…
Take Your Dog on Holiday This Summer!
I have just read a rather disturbing report from the RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), which claims that there is an “alarming increase” in the number of animals being dumped across England and Wales during the summer months. The RSPCA report reveals that there is evidence to suggest that, “some…
We May Have Travelled Around the World – But we Still Have a Bucket List…
You would think that once you had travelled around the world, your passion for travel would be sated and that you could start getting on with a ‘normal’ life… but for us, it seems to have had the opposite effect! Since returning to ‘the real world’ we have found that we want to see even…
They Say “Smile and the World Smiles with You”…
So here are some gorgeous grins from our trip around the world to brighten up your Wednesday!
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 – Unforgettable Holiday Destinations
If, like us, you work hard and play hard, your annual or bi-annual holiday is a time to rest, relax and recharge your batteries. A time to slow down, sit back and enjoy the little things that we are normally too busy or too stressed to take pleasure in, holidays, be it family holidays, adventure…
A-Z of Travel – R is for Responsible, S is for Sustainable and T is for Tourism
Since the wonderful invention of the World Wide Web, the planet has become more accessible and we are travelling further and more often than ever before. No longer satisfied with a fortnight on the Costa Brava, travellers of today are looking for new experiences, new adventures, and tailor-made tours to exotic destinations, and as a…
A-Z of Travel – O is for One Way Flight to… P is for Patagonia (cheating again!)
It’s big, it’s beautiful, and it’s bursting with breathtaking scenery, Patagonia is one of those holiday destinations that makes you want to give up work, pack up permanently and move to an idyllic log cabin in the shadows of the Torres Del Paine! The perfect holiday spot for those who enjoy the great outdoors, Patagonia…
A-Z of Travel – H is for Hotel Star Ratings
What would we do without TripAdvisor? 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
There was a time when a Gap Year was something only students could enjoy between college and university or schooling and work, but today, a Gap Year is something everyone can take advantage of – taking time off and time out of everyday life to go travelling, volunteering and working abroad. I took my Gap…
