There’s no question one of the reasons I enjoyed my time in Mallorca so much was down to the fact I stayed in an incredible Airbnb! Located in the northwest of the island, it took over 15 minutes from the main road to reach this deserted spot down a dirt track. Surrounded by mountains and […]

Well well well, so you’re heading off to explore Southeast Asia are you and wondering what the best time to visit Bangkok is? Good for you! It is, after all, one of those classic destinations, everyone should experience at least once in their lives. A veritable mecca for backpackers, culture vultures, temple traipses and food […]

I think it’s one of the biggest misnomers in budget travel – namely that Africa is cheap to travel. Again, that’s far too obtuse, let me reframe that… I think it’s one the biggest misnomers in budget travel that East Africa is a cheap destination to head to.

The land of the vast Serengeti, the great Kilimanjaro and the beautiful island of Zanzibar, Tanzania really does seem to have it all! From the continent’s highest mountain to one of its most popular safari destinations and some of Africa’s most beautiful beaches, it’s no surprise more and more of us are travelling to this […]

If there’s one historic city you need to visit in the north of England, it has to be York! Yes Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds and Newcastle all have selling points too (not least their cultural vibrancy) but, if you’re after quaint cobbled charm and a good dollop of Viking history on the side, then it has […]
