Unusually for me, 2017 has been a pretty slow start in terms of travel. I normally have some winter sun booked, a week skiing and a weekend away. Not this year. I skied in Meribel back at the end of February, which was awesome, but i’ve found myself itching to get away again. But I […]
I’ve lost count of the number of ski slopes I’ve hurtled down in my lifetime. I will always remember my first slope, though. Without having had any lessons, and with the upmost stupidity and bravado, I chucked my 18-year old self down a sleep slope that connected our hotel to the green slopes in the […]
What a week of skiing that was! I pretty much covered the entire Three Valleys ski area, including the ‘fourth valley’ Orelle. With so many runs and pistes under my belt, I thought I’d pick out my best red and blue runs in the Meribel valley for you to find and enjoy 🙂 Combe de […]
Singapore is one of the gateways to South East Asia and Australasia. As one of the main airport hubs for transfers to Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia and the Philippines, you will undoubtedly experience a layover in Singapore sooner or later. Last year I had a 12-hour layover in Singapore, en route to Papua New […]
With a heated indoor swimming pool, spacious living areas, beds for 15 people and a large outdoor hot tub, could this be one of the best Airbnb houses in the UK. Introducing The Cornhouse.

The latest news is the pound is soaring against the Euro, and whilst UK staycations have taken off this year, it […]
It’s that time of year again – the nights are getting longer, the temperature is dropping, and it’s time to choose your next ski destination! Over the last couple of seasons, the heavy snow hasn’t hit until mid-January, so if you’re planning on going skiing earlier in the season, or in late March and April […]
Remember how excited I got about my adventureproof Sungod sunglasses (see the video)? Well, the customisable kings at SunGod have done it again – they have created great value, top performing ski goggles, and they are just as customisable as the sunglasses. Known as the Sungod Revolts, these ski goggles are only rivalled by the […]
It’s now been 2 months since I first had a play with my Panasonic LUMIX camera, and it is proving to be a fantastic addition to my travel blogging gear. As you’ll see in my review post and on Instagram, the Lumix GX80 has added a much needed crisp picture dimension to all my photos. […]
Have you ever booked a weekend away in the UK, not really knowing what to expect, but coming away with a great sense of relaxation and enjoyment? Well, that is exactly what happened to me when I stayed at Swan House B&B, in Hastings old town a couple of weeks ago. Like a lot of […]
