Iceland is magical whatever time of year you visit. But to get the full Iceland experience, I really think you need to visit Iceland in the winter. I mean, the country has “ice” in the name after all! Whilst visiting Iceland in winter does make some things harder and less accessible, there are still plenty…
Spending a weekend in Iceland is on many people’s bucket lists as is the country itself. Especially for active travel lovers! Spending 2 days in Iceland had been high on my list for a while and we finally managed to squeeze in a weekend in Iceland as part of the Iceland Air stopover on the…
Amsterdam is one of Europe’s coolest cities but did you know it’s also possible to visit Amsterdam on a budget? There’s not only so much to do in Amsterdam for free, but getting to Amsterdam from the UK can be very, very cheap. Plus once you’re there it’s possible to find cheap Amsterdam hotels, cheap…
My husband and I visited Oslo on a budget after finding some very cheap flights to Oslo Norway through Skyscanner and put the destination as ‘everywhere’ then clicked on the cheapest flight outside of the UK and booked it. This is actually one of my favourite things to do because who doesn’t love a cheap…
In 2013 I was invited on a trip to Venice with my university rowing club of which I was a part. We were to take part in the 2nd International University Regata. The fastest boats would then go on to race in the Regata Storica event which takes place annually along Venice’s Grand Canal. Whilst…

I was amazed on a trip to the Dordogne Valley. I’ve been to France many times for family holidays, and university ski trips and I even lived in Grenoble for 9 months too. I thought I knew what to expect from France, but I was totally unprepared for the beauty of the Dordogne Valley. Over several…
There’s just something nice about catching the train and having it transport you to another destination without having to worry about long queues at security nor having to hang around for a few hours in an airport lounge with no seats (I’m looking at you Stanstead!). When an email from Eurostar flashed up on my…
Saint Malo in Brittany France is the perfect destination for a weekend trip from the UK. For many British people, the region of Brittany in France is associated as a place you go when you’re a baby (it’s easy for your parents to take you to), or a place you visit when you’re older and…
Summer’s great and all but you can’t go skiing in the summer and that’s just one of the reasons I love winter. I’ve been fortunate to go on skiing holidays in the Alps with family, Canada, university and on my own. I’ve skied in some of the most popular resorts in the Alps but the quieter…
