My latest UK based outdoor adventure took me to the Viking Coastline of Kent, to explore the outdoor activities on offer for the more active adventurer. This trip was in partnership with Visit Kent, Visit Thanet and Active Ramsgate, who are all very much open for business and welcoming back visitors. Firstly, this was a…
Staycation certainly seems to be the buzz word lately, and for good reason. Many of us are now considering a Staycation or Cottage Holiday in the UK, and I love to see people are exploring more of our beautiful country. Therefore it gave a lot of pleasure to research and write an article on somewhere…
Its great to see so many people looking to use their hard earned holidays in the UK. With Staycations and long weekends becoming the go to for searching on our homeland. It will come as no surprise then that Cornwall is among the tops places we are looking for, so I’ve put together a few…
If you’ve followed this website for a while, you’ll have seen plenty of walking and hiking. So when I was given the chance to film the 6 Northern Saints Trails in the north of England I jumped at it. The Northern Saints Trails are based on ancient pilgrimage routes, bringing fascinating stories of the region’s…
Boomtown Fair, one of the UK’s biggest immersive theatrical and music events, has gained a reputation over the years for its unique approach to providing festival-goers with an experience like no other. It’s a festival I put in my diary every year. I hate to miss it. It’s one of the most immersive and unique…
Tenerife, the largest and the most renowned destination in the Canary Islands of Spain, has a long time been a favorite for holidaymakers across the globe, attracting over 5 million tourists each year. Personally I’ll take any excuse to get back to the Canary Islands, as I loved all the best things to do in…
I don’t pass up an opportunity to visit Greece very often. Not least when it’s a relatively unknown region, discovering hidden gems is, for me, what travel is all about. Let me introduce you to West Macedonia. West Macedonia is a stunning region in Northern Greece, known for its natural landscapes, rich heritage and history,…
West Macedonia is a gorgeous region that borders the countries of Albania and North Macedonia. As it’s less frequented by tourists, it offers a truly authentic experience compared to other areas of the country. I consider this a real hidden gem of Greece. The scenery in this region is stunningly beautiful, with landscapes ranging from…
When you think of Europe, the stunning country of Latvia might not come to mind, far less the charming town of Kuldīga. Having been there myself on a few occasions, I can honestly say it should be one of the top places on your list. As Latvia’s newest UNESCO World Heritage Site, it’s no surprise…
On a recent visit to the USA, I spent a fair bit of time in the Capital Region USA exploring 3 main regions; Virginia Beach, Washington DC and Talbot County in Maryland. It was an eye-opening road trip. It showed me just how much there is to see in this region of the USA. It’s…
Incredible landscapes, mind-blowing wildlife opportunities and warm, friendly locals. That should have read ‘spoiler alert’. This my friends, is the Guyana Rupununi Savannah. There aren’t many words that can express how much I enjoyed my time in the Guyana Rupununi Savannah. It’s a real treat to go somewhere very few people get to travel. I…
Ever since the first trip I’ve ever taken, I’ve appreciated the benefits of group travel. From adventures in South East Asia, to city hopping in Europe, I love group travel. Yes it has its downsides, and sometimes you just want to travel solo. However, if you get like-minded people together, looking for the same thing,…
Please note this guidance is for UK cruise guests only. It’s fair to say the Cruise industry has had a challenging time over the past couple of years. It has been stop/start since summer of 2021 and that has led to a lot of uncertainty for guests. I have a feeling things will pick up…

Iona by P&O Cruises: A complete Guide & Review, plus Things to do Onboard
It’s not often you get a chance to be on a Maiden Voyage. Especially not one as huge as the launch of the new P&O flagship Iona. It was made even more special because I’ve been involved with the launch of this ship for nearly 3 years. From my first trip to Norway, to promote…
When I plan to visit somewhere, like you I research a whole host of options looking for the best things to do. The must-see spots, tourist hotspots, hidden gems, unique experiences etc. Nowadays I use a mixture of Travel Blogs like mine, Google and social media to find my inspiration. It always disappoints me how…
Typical holidaymakers go away to escape from the real world and take a break from their reality. And so they should. As a person who is constantly engaged in the digital world, I like nothing more than disconnecting. In fact, I plan to take a digital detox in the very near future. One of those…
There’s something about Austria that’s always appealed to me. I’ve loved every trip I’ve taken here at any time of the year. As a summer destination it’s sometimes overlooked, particularly the mountains. I don’t understand why, I can’t think of many better places to hike or bike in the summer. As a region, Salzburgerland has…
Barcelona is another European city made hugely accessible by the rise of budget airlines, yet it’s sometimes overlooked as a holiday or long weekend destination. Us Brits in particular chose the Balearic Islands or Costa del Sol (well some of us). So after an incredible trip to Catalonia (check out my 7 Secrets of Catalonia),…
The Netflix series Narcos opens with the quote “Magical realism is defined as what happens when a highly detailed, realistic setting is invaded by something too strange to believe.’’ Just outside Winchester, Hampshire is a natural amphitheatre, known locally as the devil’s punchbowl. It’s a quintessential piece of tranquil English countryside; rolling green hills with…
I first came to Alberta a couple of years ago, in summer, when I compared Jasper and Banff in the Alberta National Park showdown. I’ve wanted to come back in winter ever since, after hearing so many amazing stories. I wasn’t disappointed. First things first, Jasper and Banff National Parks are stunning, winter or summer,…
