Hi I’m Steph, and I decided to start a blog after friends told me I should, and assured me they would read it – they actually wanted my advice. Amazing! So here goes…we’ll see if anyone’s interested.
I love to write, and I really love to travel this amazing world we live in. It’s a bit of a no-brainer really, I don’t know why I’ve waited this long to put pen to paper (showing my age there). I want to share my experiences in this blog and hopefully pick up some new ideas from like-minded travellers too. If you like history, food, architecture, nature, walking and wine then you will probably enjoy reading this.
I’m constantly thinking about the next trip, and the next, and the next. I’m usually about a year ahead of myself in terms of planning, but there’s so much to see and learn. My wish list just keeps growing, it’s like an addiction. The long-suffering husband has given up trying to set limits on the number of trips we take. Now he just comes along for the ride, mostly with a smile on his face (and a drink in his hand).
It’s not about the most exotic destination for me. I get as much out of a trip to Wales with the dogs as I do from jumping on a plane to the Middle East. Brighton, Bruges, Brisbane, who cares? They’re all amazing in their own way. You can honestly take me anywhere, and I bet I’ll find something to enjoy. Typically we Brits like to follow the sun, but the weather has never stopped me from having fun – there’s always a bar nearby if all else fails. I don’t travel light, I carry appropriate clothing.
One last thing – I don’t do budget! I’ve done my share of back packing and camping in the past, but those days are gone. I like to travel in style nowadays – flight upgrades, flash hotels, gastropubs, yes please. Call me a Princess, but that’s how I roll.
