This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Aruba Tourism Authority for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. With its turquoise waters, soft sand and laidback attitude, the Caribbean has completely won me over. I’ve visited seven islands, but somehow I haven’t made it to Aruba yet. But it’s on my short list, […]

My husband in the golfer in this family, and I’d love to treat him to a day out on the golf course in Lanzarote… While I lie on the beach of course! Here’s some helpful information if you’re lucky enough to have this idyllic Canary Island on your travel itinerary. To golf or not to […]

As much as I love the beach (which is a lot!), I always feel the urge to explore after spending a day or two lying on the sand. So I really enjoyed this guest post about  visiting Teide National Park, which sounds like the perfect complement to a Tenerife beach holiday! What’s your reason for […]

For some, travel is all about bragging rights. “This one time in the Amazon…” “If you think that Thailand is great then you’ve got to get to The Philippines …” “So I just got back from space…” And that person who just got back from space could be YOU if you win the KLM Royal […]

Would you like to take a really quick trip to Japan? One of my favorite interviews on this blog is with a friend who toured Japan for just one week — a very ambitious trip where he managed to see Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, Himeji Castle and Kyoto Imperial Palace.

The Caribbean has so many wonderful resorts, and I was very pleased to see that this guest post listed one of my all-time favorites: The Reefs in Bermuda! I’ve dined at The Ritz-Carlton in Grand Cayman, and that is a very special place too. As for Eden Rock on St. Bart’s, well, a girl can […]

I’ve been to Mallorca but I didn’t make it to Sa Coma. When I get there one day, I’ll be sure to follow the packing list from this guest post. Although Sa Coma isn’t quite as popular as the neighbouring resort of Cala Millor it still attracts a fair number of travellers. Some choose to […]

Who isn’t dreaming about the Caribbean at this time of year? If St. Lucia is on your mind,  then I hope this guest post will be useful. Goodbye laptop, so long work. Hello, sanctuary. When you first set eyes on the island of St Lucia, this is the type of thought that will be going […]
