While I was pregnant with George I read a lot about travelling with babies. I read tips and advice and a million and one explanations of how travelling helps babies develop into well-rounded children who are open to other cultures and comfortable in new environments. To be totally honest, I don’t know how true this …

If you’re looking for the best things to do in Menorca, then look no further. For a comprehensive local’s guide to Menorca, complete with things to see, do and try while you’re on one of Spain’s Balearic islands, read on: I’m a firm believer that no one is more qualified to give you a guide …
I’ve just returned from an epic trip to Montana. I feel like I’ve said ‘epic’ a lot to describe this trip but that’s the only word that sums it up so perfectly. I was out there for one week with the Expedia Viewfinder team and we road tripped around the state, beginning in Missoula and …
Hi, I’m Elle, I’m 31 and I’ve never been to a festival. *waits for horrified gasps to die down* Yeah, I know. The thing is though, in Australia, where I grew up, festivals aren’t the rite of passage that they are here in the UK. But probably more importantly, I’m scared of camping. We broke up, …
There are a few destinations you’re likely to think of if someone mentions Scotland. Edinburgh is of course one of them, with its picturesque buildings and atmospheric alleyways. Glasgow is another; the edgy metropolis with arts and culture galore. And if you’re really adventurous you might picture the Highlands, or islands like Skye or Mull. …
London is one of my favourite places in the world for a city break. There’s just so much to do and with each visit you can discover a different side to the city that you didn’t even know existed. But with so much to do in London it can be difficult to plan a weekend …
As if getting to travel to the spectacular Philippines wasn’t exciting enough, I was in for a big surprise. When I received my invite to experience the inaugural Emirates flight from Dubai to Cebu, I didn’t even try to play it cool before responding with an eager “Yes please!” It was almost as an afterthought, …
Travelling with a baby is a whole new adventure in every way possible. Navigating the airport, let alone a new destination, is an experience and with each new trip comes a whole host of learning for future ones. Before my baby came along, travelling to and from a destination could be tricky anyway! It’s taken …
If I were to ask you to describe your perfect holiday, I bet for many of you it would go a little bit like this… A small island paradise that feels a million miles from home but is actually just a short (and inexpensive!) flight away. A place with beaches so beautiful you’re going to …
Last month I spoke at Traverse blogging conference in Cardiff. I decided to talk about the blogging topic I’m most frequently questioned about – how to transition from being a hobby blogger to a full time blogger. There are so many amazing bloggers out there, working hard and ticking all the boxes and maybe …
Cynics amongst you may believe that it simply isn’t possible to travel for free in the UK using travel hacking methods (airline and hotel rewards). Usually this would be a fair assumption. After all, the British government absolutely stuffs us on our airline taxes (whilst our American brethren usually get away with a poxy $5.60 …
“Party in April. Sleep in May”. That’s the tagline accompanying Whistler’s annual Ski and Snowboard Festival. To be honest, it tells you a lot of what you need to know about the event… having just attended, I can confirm; sleep is most definitely needed. With late spring and summer being full of ski holiday deals, …
