I didn’t set foot on foreign soil until the age of 13, on a school holiday to the Black Forest in Germany, travelling by coach and ferry. I adored everything about that first trip, from the little things like driving off the ferry on the other side of the road, the strange money and the language, and I knew from that day on, that I wanted to explore as many different countries as time and money would allow and to experience local cultures first hand. I’ve been fortunate in being able to fulfil my dream and to share my love of travel with my family but, naturally, there are so many destinations still out there waiting to be explored.
Travel as much as you can, as far as you can, as long as you can. Life’s not meant to be lived in one place
The countries I’ve been fortunate to visit to date are:
Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Guernsey, Hong Kong, Hungary, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Jamaica, Jersey, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macau, Malaysia, Malta, Morocco, Monaco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Romania, Russia, Singapore, Slovakia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, Vatican City.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by bowlines, sail away from the safe harbour.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore, Dream, Discover.
Mark Twain
As well as overseas travel, I’m also a firm supporter and champion of the British Isles. From dynamic cities to rural towns and villages and from seaside resorts to national parks there is so much to enjoy and be proud of. Within this section of my blog I explore short breaks and days out at places of interest.
Hopefully, drawing on my personal experiences, I may be able to pass on some useful insights and travel tips to help you get the most out of your holidays and perhaps inspire some of you to visit destinations that you might not previously have thought of.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I’m already looking forward to sharing my travel stories and photos with you. Do come along and join my adventures!
