A friend mentioned Lake Garda for our summer trip and once I looked into it, it was pretty much a no-brainer. Here are 5 reasons to visit Lake … [Read more...]

Or, less specifically, “anywhere in Asia please.” I have no idea where this obsession has come from, other than to say it’s probably my fault for hosting Japanese students as a favour to his big brother’s school when Dexter was growing up. Which, as an aside, is an awesome thing to do and we all loved every minute. But I totally agree with him that it would be an amazing place … [Read more...]

As my summer holiday to Italy approaches, my thoughts turn to the one and only time I have ever driven abroad, coincidently also in Italy. It was a pretty stressful experience if I'm honest. My ex partner didn't drive so the onus was on me, and suffice to say going up the motorway the wrong way wasn't a great start.
