20 things to do if you’re not travelling this year
Being a ‘travel blogger’ who hasn’t actually travelled properly since 2015 means I’ve been taking my own advice on this for the past four years! Moving city and buying our first house has really put the strain on our bank accounts, so here we are – well out of practice and full of cabin fever. If you’re not travelling this year and aren’t sure what to do with your time, here’s a little inspiration from travel-deprived me, to you. 1 // Try that ‘let’s go sometime’ place You’ll think you’ve ‘been there done that’ with your town or city, but there’s bound to be somewhere you’ve meant to visit but…

Hotel tea and coffee – my holiday must-have
If there’s one thing that disappoints me when arriving at a hotel, it’s wanting a lovely cup of tea after unpacking and finding that there are no tea-making facilities. Hotel tea and coffee feels a little bit like Christmas morning – you’re excited for the break from work, not much effort is needed, and at the end of it you’re in a beautiful sleepy haze.
