After a 4 hour flight from London, we step off the plane at Paphos airport and the heat hits us. It aways amazes me the difference in climate that 2,000 miles south can make. Shame we can’t move the UK next to Cyprus. You can see why so many expats move here! We hired a car from the airport as we like to travel around the island and explore. We stayed in Coral Bay in a private villa booked via…
Unlike no other place on earth, the Amazon rainforest is a bucket list destination for many people. Going on weekend breaks to Italy or venturing across the other side of the world to New Zealand is understandably appealing, but none of it compares to an immersive experience in nature.

In the travel industry, older travellers have long been tagged as being the most conservative demographic in terms of their preferences and habits – to put it bluntly, the most stuck in their ways.

Have you always dreamed of travelling the world and getting paid for it? Now you can do it through travel vlogging. But not everything sounds as fantastic as it sounds.

If you have ever dreamed of that white sand, palm fringed lagoon idyll then you are not alone! The desert island fantasy must be the most desired holiday experience in the world. For some that would be the ultimate lifestyle. Imagine waking up with the sun every day, apart from Monsoon season of course. Imagine having nothing to do but swim, breakfast, swim and lie in your own hammock. Perhaps spend the afternoon fishing or diving. Cocktails arrive as sundowners…
For the past twelve months or so, it would be fair to say that all school holidays have blended into one. However, all being well, this is gradually changing.

Chartering a private jet is all about making choices. You have to choose an airport close to your destination, the right jet, entertainment, and onboard dining.

I have provided some insight that can make this choice easier for you. 1. Consider the number…

Travel isn’t for everyone. Some people genuinely enjoy the quiet life, at home, in their slippers, watching other people have adventures. It’s funny though, that those people always seem to light up and speak fondly of the one time they were forced to leave their comfort zone and visit somewhere alien to them (perhaps on a school trip to France or a family holiday to Florida). If only they could see that they love having stories to tell and context…
