About us
We are passionate about travelling and enjoying life experiences. We have grown up children and no pets so we am able to travel when I want (work permitting) although we do travel sometimes with family and young children. Also we consider ourselves to have quite a young, optimistic outlook on life therefore our experiences on my holidays reflect this.

Why we set up the website
We have set up this website as we want to provide down to earth views, advice and tips on some of the destinations we have visited. Many of the other travel websites are solely about far and exotic destinations which can be quite costly to experience. Although we do visit some of these destinations we also visit destinations which are nearer to the UK including places of interest in Europe.
We are of an age where the back packer scene or the club scene is no longer for us, but we do like to have a good time! We like to have fun sometimes having a drink well into the early hours and meeting many different people. Also we like to join in games and activities if staying in a holiday resort. One of our main reasons for different destinations is to go sightseeing in fact we like to get as much as possible out of our holidays. On this website we try to cover weather, destinations, places of interest, things to do, entertainment (if in holiday resort), food and drink and nightlife.
Our aim
Our aim is to give advice to travellers both on a budget and those that have a bit more to spend on their trips. Some of the tips we give at the end of each destination review are things we have learnt while we was there and would have been useful to know before travelling. Many are money-saving tips and we all like to save a bit of money – we believe that if we keep costs of our trips as low as possible we can have more of them woo woo!
New to writing blogs etc
We are new to setting up a website and writing about our travels so I am sure it will come with some flaws – We are not a professional writers! We are not influenced or receive any payment from any Hotel. Travel Companies etc just our honest view and opinion. The main thing we hope is that it will give you a bit of an insight and provide some ideas and tips should you wish to visit any of the destinations. Over time we have visited so many places which are now fond memories. We have wrote about the places we have visited over the last view years.
REMEMBER – Always get advice on safety and security especially when travelling to certain countries. There are many sites out there who will provide the advice. We tend to look on the UK government site first of all as this gives information regarding entry requirements to the country along with safety and security advice https://www.gov.uk/browse/abroad/travel-abroad
