Hello again dear readers and future travellers. Have you survived the heatwave(s)? It was a scorcher wasn’t it. Global warming isn’t helping. In these times, we humans will have to adapt to the heating world by travelling more sustainably, out of season for cooler temps, or locally. If you’re a Brit who fancies a summer seaside holiday, well fear not, as we have a lengthy coastline to cool off and explore. In 2023, I visited the Isle of Wight – England’s largest island. Locat

Paris. Versailles. Monet's Garden, Giverny. Bonjour chers lecteurs et futurs voyageurs, bienvenue sur mon blog. Summer is here at long last in Europe, although we have just endured a recent sweltering heatwave.

I decided to embark on what I called an Andalusian Adventure, exploring the Southern Spanish region and two of its cities: Malaga and Seville. It was amazing! Abundant in history, stunning la

New shoots mean new travel plans. My latest piece may inspire your next travels. It’s a route that you can take any season, rain or shine. It’s also a route close to my home. In this post I will cover the historic cities of Durham, York and Lincoln – all of which are in the North and East of

Hello dear readers and future travellers. Winter is coming. It has certainly arrived in North East England where I live; it has snowed already! Most of the time, Northern England is damp and wet in the winter, so a bit of snow is a welcome change, especially in the run up to Christmas. The snow and frost transform the gloomy grey dullness into a crisp white winter wonderland. With the winter season now upon us, I was left wondering what my next article should be. I then remem
