Call me optimistic but now more than ever it feels like the right time to plan the next adventure. Even if you can’t do it just yet, and all you do is escape for 10 minutes in a little day dream. The planning phase is usually one of the most exciting parts about travel. Scanning…
If you’re finding yourself with a lot of time on your hands (like me) then this could be the perfect time to research your next trip. So I’ve adapted one of my most popular articles about the 3 best backpacker islands in Thailand. In addition to the backpacker and traveller this article is also useful…
It’s no secret that staying fit while travelling and keeping active is difficult! Don’t feel guilty about that. If you want to truly explore a new destination then staying fit just falls down the priority list. Understandably so. Having travelled extensively for 10 years, I’m proud to say I’ve managed to stay fit most of…

Dominican Republic Travel Tips: 5 hidden gems you probably didn’t know about
Let me start by fully clarifying, the Dominican Republic is far more than an all-inclusive or party destination. In fact it’s a little sad that so many people visit the country but barely see it at all. Now, the infrastructure isn’t perfect and travelling around off your own back isn’t ideal here. But you can…
On my first trip to Oman I had Salalah firmly at the top of the list of places to see. It was always somewhere I wanted to go, top of an incredibly long list of things to do in Oman. It’s a country that’s not that well-travelled, but that’s changing rapidly. Oman is beautiful, and…
If there’s one thing I love about group travel, it’s meeting like-minded people from all over the world with one thing in common, adventure! This activity-based trip from Intrepid Travel is one of their famous ‘hike, bike and kayak’ offerings. These are 3 things I love, in fact I just did a short triathlon in Winchester…
It was my first visit to the Muğla Province of Turkey, and like anyone, I had some preconceptions. I thought Dalaman and the surrounding towns of Marmaris, Feyithe and Ölüdeniz were limited to package holidays and attractions you can find all around the Mediterranean. I was wrong, it has so much more to offer than…
You often hear the it’s the people that make a destination. I’ve never found this more true than in Kerala, India. It’s somewhere that can distance itself from the rest of India, often being compared to Sri Lanka. But why? That could be the people, the landscape or the culture. Or perhaps the mix of…

Bucket List Road Trips: Driving from San Francisco to Mammoth Lakes
If you’ve followed Intrepid Escape for any period of time, you’ll have seen that I love nothing more than a good road trip. It’s all about the flexibility to plan the exact trip you want. Not to mention the open roads, good music, and great company (the latter is not absolutely necessary). So what better…

A Seaplane Tour of San Francisco: Amazing Sightseeing in California with Klook
It’s one of the United States’ most popular cities, and a gem on the California coast. It was my second visit to San Francisco, so I wanted to see it in style. First time around was somewhat rushed. I only had a day or two to run around and see the sights. This time I…
Let’s start with one very important fact. Obertauern is the Ski Resort with the best snow depth in all of Austria! It’s often nicknamed the “home of snow” or Snobertauern, and it’s easy to see why. It’s usually open early in the season and if there is one place that’s guaranteed snow, it’s here. Scientific…
I’m going to make a wild assumption. Registering for The Great Ethiopian Run is probably not on your bucket list. Not yet at least. Although if you find yourself here, reading this article, you are either interested in the event, in Ethiopia, or interested in running. So, here’s my chance to convince you why it…
When I plan to visit somewhere, like you I research a whole host of options looking for the best things to do. The must-see spots, tourist hotspots, hidden gems, unique experiences etc. Nowadays I use a mixture of Travel Blogs like mine, Google and social media to find my inspiration. It always disappoints me how…
Typical holidaymakers go away to escape from the real world and take a break from their reality. And so they should. As a person who is constantly engaged in the digital world, I like nothing more than disconnecting. In fact, I plan to take a digital detox in the very near future. One of those…
Ever since the first trip I’ve ever taken, I’ve appreciated the benefits of group travel. From adventures in South East Asia, to city hopping in Europe, I love group travel. Yes it has its downsides, and sometimes you just want to travel solo. However if you get like-minded people together, looking for the same thing,…
After visiting Vilnius this summer, the Baltic Sea Coast of Lithuania was bumped up my list of places I want to see. It’s known locally as a stunning area and a bit of a hidden gem. It might not be the case in the neighbouring countries, but for us Brits it’s undiscovered. Based out of…
Would you believe me if I said that before this trip, I have never been to Poland? Sometimes I can’t either. I have so many Polish friends who would be mortified by that statement. The worst part is I’ve known it’s a bit of a sleeping giant in travel. Specifically, in terms of the outdoor…
In my recent article about New Brunswick and the Bay of Fundy, I put together the perfect itinerary for exploring New Brunswick and the Bay of Fundy. It was my first time exploring the Atlantic Coast of Canada, and some of these places have been on my Bucket List for years. Please note that we…
Bristol is easily one of my favourite cities in England. I’ve been there over 10 times, mostly for nights out I must admit. I was at University up the road in Cheltenham and a lot of bands would pass through Bristol. Despite this, I still find more to Bristol on every visit. Different layers, new…
Hopewell Rocks is one of those iconic places that I’ve dreamt about visiting for many years. After seeing photos of it in newspapers, magazines and Instagram. Or when Rich McCor from Paperboyo turns it into a bear (image below!). I kept saving it as a “favourite” time and time again or flagging it as a…
