Road Trippin’ with eShores | QueenBeady

For those of you who are long time or regular readers of my blog you’ll know I’ve got an incurable case of wanderlust. It’s funny how now that I’m no longer in the Travel Industry I travel a lot more. With four trips booked this year, one of which took place in March, I’m always looking for new and exciting destinations to get my teeth into, be it soaking up the sun in Mexico, to wandering the streets of Nice, to people watching in Amsterdam, I know I’m at my happiest exploring. The infamous Route 66 turns a grand old age of 90 this year and eShores is celebrating with various bloggers by sending them a pack of goodies to keep them occupied on a long road trip!

I don’t know about you, but I am 100 billion percent ready for some good weather & I think it requires jetting off somewhere European for a little city break, don’t you? It’s less than five weeks till we jet off to sunny (I hope) Nice for a weekend to check out one of University Room’s accommodations. I’m super excited to wander down little streets, people watch with an iced latte in hand and enjoying the sunshine on the promenade. Nothing beats getting a Summer holiday wardrobe ready and I’ve been looking for some inspiration when visiting this beautiful, sea front, French town.

How to Travel with just Hand Luggage | QueenBeady

If you had told me that in December 2015 I would have been able to pack a whole weekends worth of clothes in one travel backpack for a city break to Amsterdam I would have laughed at you square in the face. Beady does not pack light. No Sirree. But, I did. I managed to pack 3 day & 3 night outfits with toiletries and shoes in to one bag. And when we go to Oslo at the end of this month we only have hand luggage again. I know some of you may be crying out in horror! How, you might ask? Well I’m going to tell you how to travel with just hand luggage…

Fathers Day Gift Guide for the Adventurous Dad* | QueenBeady

It’s not something you usually see gracing the screens of QueenBeady relating to male items, but, as like most girls & ladies at this time of year we are frantically trying to think of new and exciting gifts for our Dad’s in the run up to Fathers Day so I wanted to make sure I could help a sister or two out. Thank me later y’all. But seriously, men are just notoriously hard to buy for & I for one can be left pulling my hair out trying to think what on earth can I spend my hard earned cash on to make sure I see some sort of smile on my male counterparts face. As ever there is a travel / adventure theme underlying with these gifts which I hope you will find most useful for the 19th June in my Fathers Day Gift Guide!

Exploring Cities in the Right Pair of Shoes* | QueenBeady

If you are anything like me, I need to have comfortable feet. They are the part of my body that keeps me going on long, busy days and they needed to be treated with the care & attention they deserve, so when I’m travelling to new city destinations I know my feet are gonna take a pounding. Hashtag sorry feet. So it’s only right that they are treated to the comfiest pairs of shoes to make sure that I can cope with the long days. I never want to be that person that moans ‘cos they’ve got blisters and they wanna go back to the hotel. Na-Ah! So I’ve done a little round-up to help you on your way to exploring cities in the right pair of shoes…
