This month I headed down to Cardiff to chase Snoopys! That’s not a sentence I ever expected to say, but thanks to leading public arts organisation Wild in Art in collaboration with the charity Dogs Trust, this awesome Snoopy sculpture has been brought to life on a sculpture trail around Cardiff, Caerphilly and Porthcawl in South Wales. In just…

Gosh, I’ve been wanting to start a newsletter for years, but it’s one of those things I’ve just never got round to. However, I decided 2021 was going to be my year, so here we are: introducing Travel Junkie Girl’s monthly newsletter! With my blog posts tending to be long and detailed, I never get the…

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…

Well, the last couple of months have not been a barrel of laughs that’s for sure and not just because of Covid-19. In my last post I discussed how I was coping with the Coronavirus lockdown situation and what I was doing to stay positive. Unfortunately less than a week after I published it, Mr TJG and I…

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…

Autumn is my favourite season of the year for lots of reasons. The heat of the summer is over and the long cold nights haven’t drawn in yet either. It’s one of the shoulder seasons for travelling which means lower prices and quieter tourist areas (always a bonus!) However, my main reason is the fact the trees turn…

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…

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…

October arrived and the trees where I live were refusing to change colour. I wondered if autumn proper would ever arrive. Then the temperatures suddenly plummeted and the leaves decided to start changing very quickly and in lots of cases just fell off the branches missing that stage completely. I was very aware that if I didn’t get out…

I’ve been visiting Carmarthenshire for many years now due to having family in the area, but I’ve only just managed to get to Dolaucothi Gold Mine. What a treat was in store for me! I visited on a grey drizzly day, but as the most part of the attraction is underground, this is the perfect place to…

Mwnt Beach in West Wales is a gorgeous sandy beach set in a beautiful sheltered and secluded bay. In 2011, the Daily Mail placed Mwnt Beach at the top of its list of “Europe’s top ten loveliest hidden beaches.” I agree with the first part – it is a gorgeous sandy beach with no debris or litter in site. How…
