The golden rays of late afternoon sun are beating down onto the park’s dry, bleached grassland. A pair of zebras are reflected in the still surface of the watering hole as they drink. A safari truck rumbles along a…
Penguins waddling along the beach, primary-coloured beach huts, rocky mountains and expanses of blue ocean – Cape Town has to have one of the best natural settings around. There’s a lot to see in the city itself, but if…
A safari is a real wishlist trip, and something I’d been dreaming of doing for years. But even when you’ve picked a location there are so many different options – self-drive or guided, private reserve or National Park, tented…
It’s the last of our five game drives in Balule Game Reserve, just after our final coffee stop and at the end of 15 hours out in the bush on safari in South Africa. We’ve been weaving our way…
When I first heard my trip to Canada included a few days out in the remote Great Bear Rainforest, I did wonder if I was going to be roughing it. But it turns out that at the Great Bear…

After two long days of travel, through trains, planes, buses and boats, I had finally arrived at my first stop in Costa Rica – Tortuguero National Park. Named after the turtle, or tortuga, it’s one of the most important…
The Catlins were never part of my original New Zealand itinerary. Deep in the far depths of the South Island, this coastal area is as far south as you can get on the mainland, with not much between you…
The turquoise waters off the coast of the Cayman Islands are so clear you can see the sand on the sea bed below. But that’s not all you might see beneath you. As our boat pulled up onto a…
![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]

![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
