We like to save you time and money by sharing in-depth travel itineraries of our trips, including all the details about where we stayed, what we did, where we ate, how we got around and how much it all cost. I’m a geek when it comes to planning and love nothing more than finding unforgettable experiences around the world. I love places that have a story behind them or simply knock you off your feet with their beauty – be they little coffee shops, friendly guesthouses, or hidden nooks within the city. I find places that are cosy, creative, unique, and sometimes bohemian, hipster or green.
These itineraries are packed full of those experiences, and will help you to get the best out of your trip. We also have guides to some of the specials places to stay around the world, including hip, boutique hotels, best AirBnBs and glamping places.

“It’s just like the village in Beauty and the Beast.” This was my first thought when arriving in the tiny village of Eguisheim, just down the road from the equally charming town of Colmar in France. With cobbled streets, candy-coloured houses and wooden beams, it was like stepping into a scene from the film I’d … Read more
Bristol is well-known as one of the UK’s most creative and exciting cities. It often tops the charts of the best places to live in England and, after moving here in 2016, I have to agree. Londoners like me flock to Bristol, tired of the pace of the capital but still keen to have all … Read more
Visiting Lapland in wintertime is like stepping into a fairytale, filled with beautiful creatures amid an endless snowy forest.
