Have you ever seen a giant mechanical elephant coming towards you? Well, in Nantes, this is a reality. One of the most popular attractions in the city is the unique Les Machines de l'Île, filled with mechanical animals and puppets. 📍 Les Machines de l'Île, Nantes #france #culture #travel #nantes

A smattering of wine bars around Porto... 📍 Arco Das Verdades 📍 Bonita 📍 By The Wine 📍 Fonseca Port Cellars #porto #winebar #wine #dourovalley #portugal

The winter chill has me looking forward to warmer days in the outdoors, where I don't need 20 layers. Looking forward to heading back to Fontainebleau in 2026. Probably should do some training, to achieve something other than just eating cheese and drinking wine... #climbing #adventuretravel

This time last year, I was heading to New Zealand with Tourism NZ. One of the highlights was being shown around Whirinaki Forest, an ancient woodland with trees dating back 1,000 years, by Maori guide, Taz. The stories, culture, and nature are completely otherworldly! #newzealand #maoriculture

It's difficult to visit Japan and not see at least one Tori Gate. These icons are all over the country. But if you want to see the iconic gates at Fushimi Inari in Kyoto, you need to set your alarm and get up early to beat the crowds. #japan #kyoto #fushimiinari #tourist #travelwriter

It may only just be November, but here's my first piece for the Daily Express... Leave the car at home, jump on the train, and check out these Gluhwein-filled UK Christmas Markets! www.express.co.uk/travel/uk/21... #travel #sustainable #citybreak

Sometimes the hype around a place is real. Milford Sound in New Zealand is definitely one of those places. I was lucky enough to cruise around it and fly over it, but this shot, away from the crowds of the cruise terminal, is one of my favourites. #milfordsound #newzealand

I'm going to WTM in London for the first time this year! I'll be there all day on Wednesday. Tourism boards, operators, and brands, I'm open for meetings - please get in touch. Editors and writers, I'm around for coffee and catch-ups for one of the few times a year I'm in London!

As a self-professed ancient history nerd and a travel lover, there are few places more amazing to me than Pompeii. I headed here in the off-season, in November, and the weather was still great, and the crowds were way less imposing. #pompeii #archeology #italy

I wandered around Bath during the Jane Austen Festival and wrote about why this city is so incredible for history and literature lovers! #travelwriter #cityguide #janeausten www.thetravel.com/i-traveled-t...

If you're looking for a short but picturesque hike in North Wales, head to Aber Falls. The walk from the car park to the falls is well-paved and relatively short.

This is one of the most photographed places around Lake Como. Bellagio is beautiful, but you don't need to spend a fortune staying there. Instead, stay in Lecco and do a day trip - there are plenty of ferries throughout the day! Check out my Lake Como guides on the blog. #lakecomo #italy #bellagio

Did you know that there's a gorgeous vineyard just a 10-minute drive from the seaside city of Zadar in Croatia? The Degarra Winery specialises in fresh, local Croatian varietals. With spectacular views and huge tasting platters, it's well worth the visit. #wine #croatia #zadar

Finding a patch of calm in the crowded sea of people at Arashiyama Bamboo Forest. #japan #arashiyama #kyoto #nature

Spending a few days in the Alta Badia region of the Italian Dolomites was an absolute dream. The town of Corvara is known for its insane mountain cycling races, including a marathon that goes across nine mountain passes and totals 138 km. #marathondlesdolomites #dolomites

The iconic Tori gates are a quintessential symbol of Japan. The most popular spot is undoubtedly Fushimi Inari. To get the best experience, get up at the crack of dawn to beat the hordes. #japan #kyoto #fushimiinari #tourism

While Nara might be known for its hungry and friendly deer, the scenic temples are the real reason to visit. Even if you're not spiritual, it's impossible not to feel moved by the history, architecture, and culture. #japan #nara #temples

Looking to get out and about in the UK this year, but want to lower your carbon footprint, or simply just don't want to deal with traffic and parking? Here's my guide for how to explore the Lake District by public transport. wanderingandwine.com/blog/2025/06... #lakedistrict #uk #travel #hiking

Did you know that this ancient Greek-looking temple in Corfu Town is actually a church built in 1840? However, it's still one of the top attractions in this beautiful, historic town, which has changed hands through the Greeks, Venetians, and Brits over the years. #corfu #greece #ancienthistory

Looking ahead, if any editors are looking for coverage of the Women's Rugby World Cup across England this summer, I am going to a couple of matches and looking for commissions! #journorequest #editors #freelance #sport

Looking for an European old town to wander around this summer without tons of tourists? Well, the Old Town in Budva, Montenegro, is a UNESCO World Heritage site, located right on the coastline. #montenegro #budva #unesco

Killing time in Manchester Terminal 3 and amazed to find that there are zero travel magazines in WH Smith. Surely if there was one place that would still sell print travel content this would be it?
