Travel.
This section of my website is about the places I have travelled to on longer holidays, weekends away, or short-day trips. I have loved travelling since childhood, when my parents took my sister and me on fantastic holidays. I would like to be able to visit every continent on the planet, and I am slowly working my way through them.
There are seven continents on our wonderful planet: Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe and Australia. I have currently visited 5 of these continents. I need to visit Antarctica and Australia to be able to say I have visited them all.
There are many countries on earth. I am a long way off even being able to say I have been to a small amount of these. Still, I have visited these: Andorra, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, England, France, Iceland, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Mexico, Morocco, Netherlands, Peru, Scotland, Spain, Switzerland, USA and Wales.
I have also visited the Vatican State and the dependent territories of Gibraltar and Greenland.
Some of these places, as in the case of Denmark, Iceland, and Greenland, are only on this list because I stopped in them briefly on flights and didn't leave the airport or the immediate area around the airport. Others like England, USA and Spain I have lived in for some time during my life.
I will be visiting India in 2025, and I hope to visit Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, and some of the countries that are closer to me in Europe in the next few years.

Cruises. Article Count: 70
My first cruise was across the Atlantic onboard the Queen Mary II with my mum because she could not fly, and this was the only way we could get to America. I then did an add-on to a coach tour in China and cruised up the Yangtze River. Years later, I went on my first cruise around the Mediterranean, and I was hooked. Within a year, I had been on four more cruises.

Escorted Tours. Article Count: 72
Escorted coach tours are organized travel experiences where a professional tour guide accompanies a group of travellers throughout the journey. These tours typically involve travelling by coach and include a pre-planned itinerary with various stops and activities.
I wanted to try a holiday where I would see many different things but one in which I didn't have to drive or organise anything myself. I thought I would try an escorted tour to see if I would enjoy this type of holiday. I enjoyed the experience, and I have been on a few since that first one in 2011, going to North America, Peru, China, and Japan and have now booked one to visit India.

Short Trips. Article Count: 21
These articles are all about the short trips or day trips I have taken, the places I went to and the things I have seen on my travels. Some trips were taken while I lived in countries such as Spain or the USA, and others in the UK. Some were to see a city or place, and others were to sports or music events.

Other Holidays. Article Count: 18
Welcome to the "Other Holidays" section of my website! Here, you'll find stories and memories from various trips that don't quite fit into the other categories. These tales are from older holidays, so they might take a bit longer to fill up and could have some errors due to my fading memory. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed experiencing them.
Feel free to explore the subcategories, including my adventures in Marrakech, Spain, the USA, and Jamaica. Each story is a glimpse into the unique experiences and unforgettable moments from my travels.
