I sometimes feel travel blogging is a bit like being a parent, we shouldn’t have favourites… but invariably we do! And so it is with Favignana in Sicily, for while I absolutely loved the whole of this Italian island, I have to be honest and say that Favignana stole a little bit more of the […]

Located in central Europe, one of the best things about travelling in the Czech Republic (now known as Czechia FYI) for those of us on a budget, is how cheap this country is! And having visited this country 5 times in my life (2 in the last 12 months in fact!) I can definitely attest […]

Let’s be honest for a moment here, who doesn’t want to holiday in Sicily? The most southerly part of Italy and the largest island in the Mediterranean, this incredible part of Europe boasts sensational weather, fabulous history, amazing food, great coast and a fascinating culture influenced by nearby North Africa, as well as the sun-baked […]

Growing ever more popular, Turkey is absolutely one of my favourite countries to visit in the Spring and Autumn months – not least because, situated at the south of the country, it’s heavy on the sun hours and hot on the heat when many other destinations close to home in the UK just aren’t! And […]

Selfishly hogging the limelight, the UNESCO-listed city of a hundred spires has put this country on the map, but […]

2 of Europe’s most popular cities, there’s no question that if you haven’t visited either Amsterdam or Prague before, then you definitely should! The sort of destinations you return to time and time again – or at least I find myself returning there again and again! – there’s always something new to discover in these […]

There’s been a glut of content on this blog recently about Czechia – the country formerly known as the Czech Republic – and that’s down to the simple reason I’ve been there a lot of late! Yes having travelled there twice on blog assignments in as many months this summer, it’s fair to say I’ve […]

In my general travel experience, it has to be said that travelling to islands never works out as cheap as hitting up mainland destinations. There’s usually an added cost of getting there, plus services tend to be a little more expensive after you arrive too – either due to the fact that options are limited, […]

It’s as if fate knew I was going to write this piece… This week I’ve met 2 new Italians (friends of friends who live in London too) and when I asked them both to name their favourite part of their home country, both said (without a moment’s hesitation I might add), Sicily. Ummmm hello! Even […]
