Tis the season for Christmas markets. All over Europe. Literally everywhere. But how do you actually enjoy them without the requirement to sharpen your elbows to get anywhere near the Gluehwein? New festive blog live #travelblogger #travelblogshare www.someoneelsescountry.com/post/tips-fo...

Austria says happy St Nicholas’ Day - mind the Krampus (who reimagins utterly terrifying!) 👹 #travelblogger #traveladdicts #froheweihnachten

Taking advantage of literally the only day of passable weather in the last three weeks to get out to lovely #Aldeburgh on the #suffolk coast. Really should write some more UK content for the blog! #travelblogger #traveladdicts

….and now I feel ancient 🫣 Although seeing Sister Bliss spin this at Glastonbury will always be one of my musical highlights.

Spent a couple of Thanksgivings stateside and nothing will compare to the views from Angel’s Landing in Zion NP - 2021 (two weeks after the borders opened!) Happy Thanksgiving to all those celebrating 🦃 #travelscapes #traveladdicts #travelblogger

North Korea wants a word.

Because this will - of course - make up for the wholesale gutting of National Park budgets and laying off of skilled and knowledgeable staff…! 🙄 Another reason to pick Canada right now🇨🇦

Long overdue and all the evidence from Europe shows it makes no difference at all to visitor numbers. That said… 1. It should be transparent where money from the tax is re-invested (the Canaries do this well) 2. No Vegas style 22% “resort fees” thanks very much. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Yet another #Brexit boon - on arrival, queuing for an hour to register for EES (for a country that would have let us in with just a passing glance at passport pre-2020). Congrats yet again to everyone who voted for this, you’ve done us all proud, clap clap. 😒😫🤮

Looking forwards to this

Barring picking up some bug on the flight back last weekend, loved #SriLanka. Everyone said to skip Colombo but I was pleasantly surprised. Well overdue creating some #travelblogs off the back of this trip… #traveladdicts #travelblogger

Saving this for a trip next year!

Even in the rain, Sri Lanka is charming! Shoes took a little while to dry mind you… #traveladdicts #travelblogger #travelblog #srilanka

Doesn’t matter how old you get, seeing this number of #elephants this close is never not going to be unbelievably cool. Minneriya National Park, Sigiriya, #SriLanka 🇱🇰 home of the largest single gathering of Asian elephants on Earth #traveladdicts #travelblogger #travelblog

Sundays in Sri Lanka - just the 870m drop for company. World’s End hike in Horton Plains National Park #traveladdicts #travelbloggee #hiker

Ignoring East-meets-West cliches, it’s impossible not to be attracted to a city that spans two continents and 1,500 years of history…far too much to see in one visit! New blog - Second Time in Istanbul - now live. www.someoneelsescountry.com/post/second-... #travelblogshare #travelblogger

The Camino remains a hiking bucket list goal !

Completing this year’s summer roadtrip blog series, a jaunt round Northern and Western #Ireland featuring the Antrim Coast, Derry, Slieve League, Galway and much more besides… Have a read here: www.someoneelsescountry.com/post/summer-... #travelblogger #travelblogshare #traveladdicts #roadtrip

The moment of staring at Notre Dame’s façade and asking the big questions… Is that the pope being sat on by Satan ✅ Is that pitchfork doing what I think it is ✅ Is that a vomiting man being speared by a devil ✅ Definitely a blog - and maybe a photo piece - coming soon! #traveladdicts #paris

It will never not be cool to see visitors fall in love with the city I (for now) call home! Very good blog below 👇

Quite a surreal moment to see my name next to an article in @cntraveler.com.web.brid.gy 15 Best Ways To Experience Queer Berlin 🇩🇪🏳️‍🌈 (from a pretty extensive shortlist). It remains my favourite city on Earth 🌍 #travelwriter #traveladdict

#Dorset by afternoon and evening light on that rarest of occasions A British bank holiday Roadtrip not cursed by crap weather #traveladdict #travelwriter

This is one hell of a Roadtrip - *adds to travel wishlist* 🇨🇦🇨🇦🍁🍁

www.someoneelsescountry.com/post/perfect... New blog in my Summer Roadtrip series on my favourite part of Italy - #Puglia and #Basilicata. All you could want from Italy - millennia of history, great cuisine ahd wine and views to die for. #traveladdicts #travelblogshare #travelbloggercommunity

More reasons to love Puglia ⬇️⬇️😋😋

Orecchiette often get overlooked, as does Apulian cuisine more generally. Big mistake - they’re absolutely delicious and I thought Puglia had some of the beet cuisine anywhere I’ve been in Italy! 🇮🇹

Lofoten is - for my money - the most beautiful place on Earth. But with the ratio of visitors to locals reaching 40:1 in summer, how can you stop it becoming an Arctic Disneyworld. My article for BBC Travel published last weekend. www.bbc.co.uk/travel/artic... #traveladdicts #travelblogshare

That’s one hell of a high kick! Day one of #Wexford #Fladh a festival of Irish culture, music and dance that has taken over the town. #traveladdict #travelblogger #ireland

Things I love about #ireland 1. Shopfronts 2. Pubs There’s more but this isn’t a bad start! #travelblogger #traveladdict

Coastline, culture and a whole load of Communist kitsch. Three reasons - amongst many - why I have #Bulgaria among the best summer roadtrips in Europe 📣 New blog post below 👇 #travelblogger #travelblogshare #travelbloggercommunity #traveladdicts www.someoneelsescountry.com/post/the-per...

Less than 2hrs from London ✅ Landscapes to make the jaw drop ✅ Puffins galore ✅ The world’s only roundabout under the sea (it’s pretty funky) ✅ Welcome to the Faroe Islands! #traveladdict #faroes #visitfaroes #travelbloggercommunity

I despise the phrase “hidden gem” but these locations actually fit the brief - not heard of any of them but look sensational!

24hrs in #Berlin? GO! The 100 is still Europe’s best value sightseeing bus - €3.80 single ticket (valid for 2hrs) and you get 80% of Berlin’s main sights en route. And then stop for currywurst. Obviously. #travelblog #traveladdicts #travelbloggercommunity #visitberlin

A thoughtful take on a hot topic in Europe right now, recognising tourists can be both the problem and - part of - the solution. Well worth a read with your morning coffee!

Agree completely with heading north for beaches that won’t burn your face off! Poland is one I need to discover more of…🇵🇱🇵🇱

Off to Paris tomorrow - was never the biggest fan until last summer when they held the most sensational Olympics of all time. Any recommendations for underrated attractions/districts ? PS - Not packing quite so much patriotic headwear this time! #travel #traveladdicts #travelblogger
