Before we left for Iceland, we had agreed that we needed to plan out every aspect of our trip, including visiting the Blue Lagoon. We were only in the country for 4 days, and we were keen to make the most of it. I had an itinerary all mapped out, but if you have been…
Since coming back from Iceland, I’ve been reflecting a lot on my experience of visiting the Golden Circle. Did I enjoy visiting the Golden Circle? Well the answer is both yes and no. Yes, I did see some really spectacular things but I didn’t enjoy this part of the road trip as much as I…
I was very excited about arriving in Berlin. Not only were the next 24 hours going to be a lot of fun, but the hotel also looked like it was going to be pretty amazing too. I was going to be staying at the 25Hours Hotel Bikini Berlin, and it already looked like…
Krakow is Poland’s most charming city where majestic history meets world-class infrastructure and service. Its beautiful monumental vistas, high safety standards, and hearty cuisine attract hordes of tourists annually, and a great number of them arrive in Krakow from other parts of the EU by car. With a new sense of adventure inspired by my…
The alarm was set, but the clocks were due to go back in the early hours. I foolishly put my faith in my smart phone to update to the new time automatically, and wake me with enough time to get ready before leaving for the airport. The alarm went and low and behold, I was…
When I first looked at planning the itinerary for our Iceland road trip, I talked about visiting the fishing village of Grindavik and heading towards the waterfalls near Vik. If you’ve been following my Instragram account recently you might have noticed that there was a bit of a change of plan. It was very last…
If you are planning a trip to Dubrovnik, then you are definitely in the right place. I am desperate to visit this Croatian city after my sister went to a wedding there last year. She fell in love with this Mediterranean jewel of the Adriatic sea, so I asked her to share with me what…
When I heard about the Elding Whale & Dolphin watching tours from Reykjavik I knew that it was something I wanted to do. Going to Iceland is as much about exploring the country as it is about exploring the North Atlantic and I wanted our adventure to feature a trip out to sea. I was…
Since we visited Amsterdam, so many people have said to me they had not thought of taking their children to the city, which I think is a real shame given that there are so many things to do in Amsterdam with kids. In the UK, Amsterdam still seems to have a reputation for being an…
My first visit to Iceland taught me a few things about travelling to the country and I would definitely do a few things differently but there are also some things I would do the same. If you are after some travel tips for visiting Iceland, then these are the things I learnt during my recent…
If you need ideas of where to take kids in Amsterdam then one place I suggest you put at the top of your list is the NEMO Science Museum. It’s an interactive playground for children of all ages, and will be a guaranteed highlight for any family break in the city. The NEMO Science Museum building…
I’m going to Iceland in a few days, and I’m literally so excited. I think the adventure and the landscape will absolutely blow us away. We have hired a car, as I think this will be the best way to explore what the country has to offer in the short space of time we have there….
On our recent trip to Amsterdam, we stayed at the Hampshire Hotel on Rembrandt Square. It was a great location for our trip as it was easy to get to by tram from Central Station and had good access to the attractions we wanted to see. In particular it was a few tram stops away from…
I have been lucky enough to visit Barcelona, Spain a few times now. Unfortunately though, I have always been left with an empty feeling of ‘just passing through’, which leaves me less than fulfilled as a traveller and explorer. Because I find cities the most stimulating places to visit, today I want to share the…
Sponsored post in association with American Express® You may have seen the blog post I wrote recently about how I’m excited to be partnering with American Express, on an initiative to pass on my passion for travel to my daughter. I wrote about how we were planning a family trip to Amsterdam and had decided…
If you are looking for a great place to stay near Disneyland Paris or want a family friendly holiday park in France with lots of activities then I think I’ve found you the perfect holiday destination for you. I’m really excited to be able to share with you Al Fresco Holiday’s La Croix Du Vieux Post…
