Holiday ideas from the heart

Sometimes the hardest part of booking a holiday isn’t finding somewhere to go – it’s deciding what kind of trip you actually want.

After travelling to more than 75 countries (and plenty of places closer to home), I’ve learnt that there isn’t one perfect holiday. The best trip is the one that fits your budget, your interests and the amount of time you have available.

This guide brings together my favourite holiday ideas, whether you’re travelling solo, with friends, as a couple or with children in tow. You’ll also find plenty of practical tips and inspiration to help you choose your next adventure.

Camping and outdoor holidays

Camping holidays don’t have to mean roughing it either. From safari tents and luxury lodges to family-friendly campsites packed with activities, there’s an option for every comfort level.

Festival guides

If you’ve followed my travels for a while, you’ll know festivals have always been one of my favourite ways to experience a destination.

Whether you’re planning your first festival or you’re a seasoned camper, you’ll find guides packed with practical advice, packing lists and honest reviews based on my own experiences.
