Post Covid-19 Great British Staycation Bucket List

As we emerge from lock-down and pubs, restaurants and tourist attractions start opening up once again, not to mention in demand hairdressers, I’m sure like me you’re itching to get out and about a bit more. As foreign holidays are still largely off the cards for the time being, the Great British staycation is expecting…

Why You Should Visit Wakefield Cathedral

The iconic image of the city of Wakefield is the cathedral’s spire as it is visible from all over the city and from miles around. Yet there are many that are unaware that Wakefield is even a city, let alone that it has a cathedral. It certainly doesn’t rank high amongst the UK’s most popular cathedrals when…

Top 19 Travel Experiences of 2019

A new year and lots of new things to look forward to… But it’s also that time of year when you look back over the previous year and take stock: what happened – the good and the bad. There’s plenty of 2019 that I’m glad to see the back of including lots of ill health. However…

Top 18 Travel Experiences of 2018

Oh 2019, you came around so quickly… I don’t know where the end of 2018 disappeared to and now its half way through January! It does mean one thing however: it’s time to look back at what I’ve been up to throughout the year. This time last year I wrote about my Top…

Travel Junkie Girl’s Summer 2018 Travels in Review

Autumn is definitely here to stay – the fleeces, scarves and boots are out and the heating is set to come on for when we wake up (yes, I’ve finally done that for the first time since April!) But while I’m planning autumnal walks amongst crisp fallen leaves while collecting conkers, I’m taking a look…

Discovering Worcester on the Worcester Stands Tall Sculpture Trail

As the Worcester Stands Tall giraffe sculpture trail enters its final weekend of a 10 week run in the UK city of Worcester, I look back on how exciting my trip exploring the trail and the area was. Without a doubt, the greatest joy about these kinds of sculpture trails for me is how they introduce you to a city…

Architecture in Preston: A Tour of the City Centre

One of my favourite things to do when visiting a city is to wander round looking at all the fantastic architecture. It doesn’t matter which city I go to, there’s always some exciting and unique buildings to discover. The architecture in Preston was no different. I hate to admit I knew very little about Preston prior…

Top 17 Travel Experiences of 2017

Looking back at 2017, I’ve had some amazing experiences and been to some incredible places. My plans may have had to change a bit from my original hopes for the year and from February onwards I had to stay in my home country, but all that has meant is I’ve gotten to discover more great things about the…

Ill Health Hasn’t Stopped Me Travelling: My Summer of English Travel

I can’t believe that it’s Christmas already. It doesn’t seem two minutes since I was just starting my Christmas shopping (and I start early in the year, lol) Now the big day has been and gone, I can’t help but think: Where has the year gone? And where has Travel Junkie Girl been? I don…

A Sombre but Beautiful Return Trip to Derby, England

It was this time last year when I first visited the city of Derby, one of Britain’s smaller cities, situated in the English Midlands. It’s also in my opinion the most underrated British city, with many not even considering it a city but rather a large town. As a non-local, you really don’t see or hear…

Impressions of Malta: Valletta and Mdina Travel Guide

Cast from your mind the image of sun-seeking beach holidays. I’m here to create a different impression of this sun-trap in the Mediterranean. Historic pride with a mix of cultures and beautiful cities – this is the Malta I found back in January. Despite the puzzled looks on friends’ faces querying why you’d visit Malta at this…

Churches & Chocolate in Brussels

Cathedrals, Churches and Chocolate… These are a few of my favourite things! So on my recent trip to Brussels, my second time visiting the city; I made a day of these fine things! Staying in the hotel district of Brussels near Rogier metro station, it was a short walk to the Hotel Metropole for morning coffee, or in my…
