Travel is fun, invigorating and exciting. But it can also be bloody stressful too. With deciding which of your ten pairs of shoes you need to throw out of the packing mix to locating passports before you set off to the airport, we all wish travelling could be a little more stress-free. Don’t you think? There’s definitely some handy hints & tips that can make travelling more of a breeze and less of a chore and I’d love to share them with you.

As some of you might know, I FREAKING LOVE HOLIDAYS AND TRAVELLING, it’s no secret that I am happiest when I have a trip planned. At the moment I don’t & it’s killing me a little bit inside. We can’t decide where we want to go or what the budget will allow, so it’s slowing my processes down, and I need to remind myself why I need to book a holiday. So whilst yes, this post is for my readers – it’s also a post for me too.

Waking up in the rather large, cosy, king sized bed at the Mercure Oxford Eastgate Hotel was a type of morning I’d like to repeat. Every weekend. But sadly I can’t. My bank balance probably wouldn’t thank me and there’s a small issue of who would look after the dog. So when we do get to enjoy, boy am I going to saviour it. Probably one of the snuggliest beds I’ve ever had the pleasure to stay in, my night sleep was perfect. With a quick cup of tea before heading down for breakfast, it meant I could revel in for an extra 15 minutes longer.
2016 has been filled with some of the most exciting travel adventures I could have dreamt possible. We have been lucky enough to travel abroad four times this year, which for two people who only get 20 days annual leave a year, is pretty good going. Having been in the travel industry (before moving on to pastures new) for eight years, travelling and heading on holiday has always been a top priority for me. It seems selfish to some to go away that many times a year but I want to explore the world bit by bit because I am madly, deeply in love with learning about the world whilst getting a break from every day life. Everyone has their vices, right? Mine just happens to be travel!
We spend all year saving for that special holiday and a huge percentage of why us Brits decide to go abroad is to escape the grim weather we have here in the UK. So what happens when it rains when you are on holiday? We stomp our feet, try do a “sunshine dance” and do that terribly British thing where we moan about things we can’t change. But, truth be told there is some beauty in amongst the madness and a little bit of rain won’t hurt anyone. Let’s face it, no-one wants to worry about whether it’s going to rain on holiday but why not have a bit of a back up plan, just in case? I’ve put a few tips together of how you can make the most of your time if it rains when you’re on holiday…
