This means if exploring the beautiful and diverse landscapes of this country is on your bucket list, west really is best!

There’s no question, a trip to England’s New Forest national park just isn’t complete without visiting some of its wonderful pubs! From historic spots to flower-adorned gardens, dog-friendly to family-friendly, there’s a huge range of fantastic boozers within this glorious area of Hampshire, and visiting at least a few really is a classic part of […]

Before my arrival into Peru, I have to admit I’d never even heard of Huaraz, let alone considered travelling there. As such a huge country and with a tight travel timeframe, I’d already pretty much mapped out my time in Peru before my arrival into Lima in September as I fled the impending winter in […]

I have to be honest, until about a year ago I had never even heard of Bohemian Switzerland… and that’s despite having travelled previously to the 2 major cities nearest to it – namely Dresden in Germany and Prague in the Czech Republic. And this may give you some idea of a) how off […]
