It’s one of the best feelings in the world when you’ve clicked confirm and booked your flights for a holiday. What follows are days of excitement as you think about all of the incredible things you’ll get up to whilst abroad, but then it dawns on you that it’s time to start prepping for your trip – only you don’t know where to begin.

Image credit The second you decide you’re going travelling, everyone tells you that you must keep in touch, send pictures, and Skype as often as possible. Staying in touch helps everyone at home know you’re safe, and they get a little glimpse into what you’ve been getting up to. Anyone who’s travelled understands how easy it is to get swept up in the excitement of...
Bravery is not the absence of fear, but the ability to take action anyway. A phrase which certainly applies to travelling all over the world. In fact, it is totally natural to have some anxiety or apprehension about visiting places that we have never been to before. However, the good news is that some strategies can help us to manage our worries. Something that can...
Health is something we need to reinforce whilst we’re on holiday. Sure, you’ve taken yourself off to a tropical beach to enjoy the sun, the sea, and the sand, but that doesn’t mean you’re now suddenly immune to sunburn and any skin issues arising from too much exposure! You’re going to have to make a liberal use of sunblock, and keep an eye on those moles on the...
A lot of families travel to be together around Christmas time. If your relatives live far away, you might need to plan your trip carefully to avoid the traditional holiday stress. Indeed, with a lot of vehicles on the road, it’s fair to say that the journey is going to be challenging. However, if you’re going to make the most of your time with your family, you need...

Many a times, the hotel you see online while booking presents an entirely different picture of what it may be in real...
When a major life change occurs, it often leads you to reassess your pirorites. One of my main passions is travelling, and having spent the past 10 years exploring over 50 countries, I am determined to continue to do so. It may look slightly different and perhaps not be as frequent. That is because I am expecting to have a little person in my life. Yes, I am actually...
Travelling and photography go hand in hand. It is not often these days that I don’t go anywhere without a camera (or my phone). The perks of modern technology eh! Whereas rewind to 1998 when I went on a school trip to London, with a hand written journal and two disposable cameras with 27 shots in each. Not knowing what I had captured until I could have the...
Going to Malta and not visiting Gozo is like going to New York City and not visiting Brooklyn. It is quite a trek to get there granted, especially if you go by public transport. However, it is just beautiful. It has Instagramable doors, perfect little bays to swim in and a more chilled vibe than that of the larger Island of Malta. Getting to Gozo To get to the island...
Before travelling to Malta, we considered and reconsidered hiring a car vs public transport. On a previous trip to the Balkans, we hired a car. It was amazing – we had so much flexiblity and saw so much too. However, it was expensive.
