Packed with history, tradition and scenic views – St Andrews is a real Scottish gem. This small city is set on the coast of Fife to the northeast of Edinburgh. It’s been pulling in the visitors since its days…
Modern and multicultural, Toronto is eastern Canada’s powerhouse city. It’s a huge, sprawling place, made up of smaller, individual neighbourhoods. But a weekend in Toronto is just enough time for a taste of the city.…

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]
