The Travel items you don’t actually need

Some people have a set packing list formed through years of travel and experience that works for basically every trip, and others can simply throw things in a bag and are good to go. I go for the former. When I set off for my round the world trip a few years ago I was

Walking the Thames Path

Whenever I’m in London, I love to spend the whole afternoon strolling along the south bank of the Thames from Westminster to London Bridge.

It’s hard to Staycate when you want to go

I’m pretty sure that if the word ‘staycation’ wasn’t popular before, it certainly is now.

With many people looking to make the most of stay-cations or shorter trips to neighbouring countries, this is the perfect time to work on packing light and travelling with hand luggage only.

10 Must Do’s on the Isle of Wight

The travel industry has been hit hard over the past few months, and although we might be desperately clinging on to that autumn holiday abroad, the reality is that international travel is not going to return to “normal” for a while.
