With Nac Pan beach being crowned the 'Worlds most beautiful Beach' and Palawan Island crowned 'the worlds best island' three years running in 2017, you can see why millions of people flock here for that dream honey moon or bit of escapism. My BIGGEST tip for El Nido specifically is to avoid tours. Since this stunning island has been given all this publicity it has attracted masses of tourism, and I found that to experience the real beauty of the place - you had to get out an

So my trip to Kruger National Park was quite a last minute one with family and friends - and I really had no idea what to expect. On arrival I got out the car and walked out near to some elephants completely unaware this is NOT what you should do whilst on safari. Around wild animals...I was THAT tourist that got tutted at. I had never been 'on safari' and wasn't really sure what you are supposed to pack. Some sites have pools, some don't, but mainly you will be in a car or a

Many people wonder why I travelled so much, and why others may have that desire to travel too. "What is the point?" I get frequently asked, "the UK is a beautiful little country!". I agree - the UK is a stunning little country, that I also love to explore and appreciate - in fact, I've seen nothing like enough of it yet! Over the years, I've come across very common patterns and reasons as to why some people might travel, everyone has a story and is on their own personal journ

On a long haul flight, what you pack in your 'carry on' is key to the comfort of your journey. I have spent many years and many trips with trial and error trying to master what is essential and what is not to help me enjoy those long flights around the globe. These are a few ideas of what I think are helpful tips and tricks to help with the art of travelling comfortably... The Bag. This is a big one. I have never been a 'bag chick', I was always more into shoes. However, havi

The Cameron Highlands - its full of rolling green hills of tea plantations and strawberry farms - so uniform it doesn't look real. A lush humidity fills the air and old Land rover Defenders chug around the narrow roads. It is much cooler up in the highlands compared to the lower regions of Malaysia, but can be a nice little bit of escapism in peak summer from the blistering heat. Brinchang has amazing night markets at the top of town with a wonderful array of local street foo

I barely scratched the surface of the Triglavski National Park around Tolmin as it is so vast - but what I did manage to see - I loved. This National park amongst the Julien Alps attracts hikers, paraglider's and water sports enthusiasts from all over the world and I can totally see why. This place is like a secret gem hidden within the rest of Europe that not everyone had discovered yet. Sandwiched between Italy, Austria and Croatia (all incredibly popular tourist destinatio

Ljubljana is a little city with a lot to offer. This great spot borders Italy - so you will immediately notice the italian influence of beautiful gelato, tasty pizza and fantastic wine! You can sit in the sun along the Ljubljanica River enjoying a continental breakfast and lose hours people watching, or have an afternoon sit down in a hipster gelato parlour that also serves cocktails with Blue Marlin Ibiza sounds gracing the atmosphere.
