I've FINALLY visited Bruges! What a place! The back story: I've wanted to visit Bruges ever since I read Monica from The Travel Hack's boozy Bruges weekend post back in 2014. What could be better than sitting in the main square, sipping Belgian…

When you think of Bruges, you should think chocolate, frites and mayonnaise, and you should think beer. Strong beer.

I've started to learn something about my travels recently that I want to share with you. The older you get, the more complicated your search criteria becomes for holidays and accommodation.

Poland has been on my to-do list for the last couple of years. It's cheap country to visit, a short flight from the UK, and has a rich, turbulent history that I was keen to learn more about.
At the beginning of each year, I keep an eye on…
