Over the years though I have come to realise that travel doesn't have to only mean the BIG trip, weeks, months, or years of traipsing off to brighter horizons. A lot of people can’t afford this. They have jobs they love, they have friends and family they are close to, they have lives they have built. Why can’t we get that same feeling from day trips, road trips, armchair travelling with the odd BIG trip thrown in? So this is what I hope to do with my blog by providing information and stories of my adventures closer to home and abroad, a virtual guide book of sorts.
