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.
![Back on track 🚆 With so much uncertainty, it's been a strange time to be thinking or writing about travel. But after pretty much blankly staring at a screen for the last month I’m back blogging and using the time to catch up on some of the projects that've been lurking on my to-do list for too long. And first up is embracing my train geek side and creating full itineraries for my one-week European rail trip ideas. If you fancy exploring Europe by train when the world opens up again, these posts will tell you what trains to take, how much they cost, how to book and what to see along the way. The first is Northern Europe by train – a week-long trip packed with canals, chocolate, cosmopolitan cities and the stunning scenery of the Swiss Alps [link in bio]
