UK Staycation & Travel Blog Posts

The UK is my home country, and although I’ve visited over 45 other countries, some of the best adventures and experiences I’ve had have been right on my doorstep. Call it travel alchemy.

From the Lake District to Cornwall, the Cotswolds to the South Coast, check out my blog posts on UK staycations below 🙂

UK VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS

HASTINGS & EAST SUSSEX

I visited East Sussex back in September, and was the place I propose to my wife! It’s a beautiful part of the UK, and ideal for a long weekend staycation.

Check out the video highlights in the vlog, including some awesome drone footage over the white cliffs on the South Coast 🙂
