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.

Family travel
These days, my adventures often include playground stops, beach picnics, child-friendly attractions and plenty of snack breaks. I’ve discovered that some destinations are surprisingly brilliant for families, while others require a little more planning.
Road trips
Road trips give you the freedom to stop whenever something catches your eye, take the scenic route and discover places you never expected to visit. Here you’ll find suggested road trip routes, scenic drives and practical advice to help you plan an unforgettable journey.

Travelling alone can feel daunting at first, but it can also be incredibly empowering. With a little preparation and the right destination, it’s one of the best ways to build confidence and experience somewhere at your own pace.
Beach holidays
From golden Mediterranean beaches to hidden UK coves, I’ve been lucky enough to explore some incredible stretches of coastline over the years. You’ll find guides covering beach destinations, family-friendly resorts, hidden gems and tips for making the most of your seaside escape.
European weekend breaks
I’ve been fortunate enough to visit some wonderful European destinations, and they’re ideal whether you’re travelling as a couple, with friends or as a family. Europe is packed with fantastic cities that are perfect for a long weekend.

Travel doesn’t have to be expensive, complicated or involve flying halfway around the world. Sometimes the best adventures are a weekend camping under the stars, a spontaneous road trip, a family day at the beach or finally booking that European city you’ve always talked about visiting.
Throughout VickyFlipFlopTravels you’ll find honest destination guides, practical travel tips and plenty of money-saving advice based on my own experiences. My aim is simple: to help you travel more, spend less and come home with stories you’ll never forget.
