I've been enjoying my trip down travel memory lane this month. It's been an opportunity to think back about places I haven't thought about for some time, like these two Q cities. Quebec City, Canada: My memories of Quebec City are fuzzy now, as it's been more than 20 years since I was there, but… Continue reading Travel A to Z – Q

Travel A to Z – P
Some day soon we'll be able to go somewhere more exciting than the supermarket. Some day soon we'll be able to go further than the end of our street. Until then, I'm travelling in my mind back in time and for P I am revisiting two places that I had just one full day in,… Continue reading Travel A to Z – P
Travel A to Z – O
It won't be sometime until May until the restrictions on movement are lifted and it's possible to go somewhere without an essential requirement. So while I can only physically travel around my neighbourhood, this month I've been travelling much further in my mind and back in time. Oludeniz, Turkey: We are not ones for package… Continue reading Travel A to Z – O

Travelling back in time this month, one letter at a time. Naples, Italy: Naples' reputation as a crazy city is thoroughly deserved. I remember the walk from the train station to the town centre was a live stream of noise and chaos. Traffic all over the road, drivers driving with one hand on the wheel,… Continue reading Travel A to Z – N
Travel A to Z – M
Travel is currently a state of mind rather than a reality. I am spending this month travelling back in time and place in alphabetical order. And today we reach the halfway point of the alphabet. M was a tough choice - there are lots of places starting with M! But which one to choose? Munich,… Continue reading Travel A to Z – M

Luxor, Egypt: In the grand history of my travel, one place stands out as the champion city of hassle, and that is Luxor. From the moment we got off the bus it started. There was a man ready and waiting to tell us out hotel was closed, that we should come to his hotel instead.… Continue reading Travel A to Z – L

Kruger National Park, South Africa: There are many national parks in many countries, but Kruger is one of the largest game preserves in Africa. It's famous, and deservedly so, and a highlight of my travelling life. I would happily go back there for a week or two. Several times. For as long as my budget… Continue reading Travel A to Z – K
Travel A to Z – J
I'm travelling in my mind this month, back through time, recalling places been, and thinking about places yet to be seen. Jaisalmer, India: From Delhi, take an overnight train for 17 hours and wake up in Jaisalmer, a city close to the Pakistan border. Known as the Golden City, it's a fort city on the… Continue reading Travel A to Z – J
Travel A-to-Z – I
I'm taking some time this month to travel back in time and reflect on some of the wonderful (and less wonderful) places I've been able to visit, and to think about places I will visit in the future when travel is possible again. Iguazu Falls, Brazil/Argentina: Possibly the biggest waterfall in the world. If you… Continue reading Travel A-to-Z – I
Travel A-to-Z – H
While we wait for Covid restrictions to be lifted, and to have permission to stray a little further than the streets around our homes, I'm using this month to reminisce about places I've been lucky enough to visit, and to think about places I will go in the future. One day. Hay on Wye, Wales:… Continue reading Travel A-to-Z – H
