UK Travel Blogger & Festival Lover
What is VickyFlipFlopTravels all about?
My blog totally started out as me and my adventures – I just wanted to share the cool places I was visiting, and where I was going. Now, I like to think of it as a treasure trove for anyone wanting to visit the places I’ve been, to see how to enjoy them from a different angle.
I’ve been travelling for the past nine years.
Let me help you with the best two-week itineraries, week-long adventures, weekenders, and festival guides.

“Why was she backpacking alone?” “What was she doing meeting a man on Tinder?” The victim blaming I’ve seen online this week, for Grace Millane, the British backpacker murdered in New Zealand, has been disgusting. Suggestions that a 22-year-old woman was in some way asking for it, or that it was inevitable, that if she dared to travel and to use the tech[...]

At the start of this month I felt left behind. Seemed like all my non-blogger friends were / are off having babies, sometimes going in for seconds, getting promotions, planning their weddings, just generally getting round that Game of Life board faster than me.
