I’m Lucy (hence the dodgy loose/Luce pun), a freelance editor and designer from Cheltenham in the UK with a passion for travel. Back in 2011, I gave up the day job after 10 years in London to develop a more flexible lifestyle. I did the whole ‘give up everything and travel for years’ backpacking trip in my 20s, but now with a business, house, family and friends, I’m trying to bring them all together. So I mix up travel and home life – with trips ranging from weekends in the UK and Europe to more far-flung exotic trips.
I still travel on a budget, but have done my share of hostels, overnight buses and instant noodles. Today my travels come with a touch of luxury – proper beds, internals flights and a glass of wine included. Join me as I share my travel tales, tips and photos – and if you have a travel question, drop me a message at lucydodsworth@yahoo.com or on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram.
My favourite travel blogs
I’m something of an obsessive travel blog reader (especially when I’m supposed to be doing something useful) but have a few favourites that I keep coming back to:
- Part-time travellers combining travel and everyday life: Eff It I’m on Holiday and John the Go
- Parents exploring the world with and without their kids: The Travel Hack and Mummy Travels
- My fellow Top UK Travel Bloggers: Travel with Kat, The Travelbunny, Weekend Candy and Savoir There.
![With its spectacular architecture, Prague isn’t known as the ‘City of a Hundred Spires’ for nothing, but it’s also got 30 bridges, castles, palaces, parks and gardens to explore – and not to mention Europe’s cheapest beer. But although Eastern Europe is known for its good value, Prague’s popularity has pushed prices up for visitors. So if this gorgeous city’s on your wishlist, my new post [link in bio] has all my top tips for saving money on sights, views, food, transport and more to make the most of Prague on a budget .

![#ad Canada's a country that really captured my heart – and my new post [link in bio] is an epic two-week road trip itinerary right across the heart of the country, travelling from Calgary to Toronto, from the prairies to the lakes. Along the way we found everything we’d expect from Canada – spectacular landscapes, wildlife, great hiking and kayaking routes, First Nations history and delicious food and drink – but with a few twists along the way too
