Whether you’re heading out for a weekend getaway or an extended holiday, planning is key to pulling it off without a hitch. By thinking ahead and putting a few important measures in place, you can ensure the journey becomes a fun family adventure rather than a tiring chore.

Visiting the Cornish Seal Sanctuary

We love Cornwall and have made it our holiday destination 6 times in the last 10/11 years, visiting a wide variety of amazing beaches and well-known attractions. During our 2023 holiday, we finally got around to adding the Cornish Seal Sanctuary to our list. We had heard such great things from others and were really excited to see it for ourselves, and (spoiler alert!) it did not disappoint. If you love animals, nature and supporting genuinely brilliant causes, this is somewhere you absolutely need to pop on your itinerary.

How to Build Equity in Vacation Properties Without Taking on Maintenance Headaches

*Collaborative Post

Owning a vacation property used to mean managing a second home full-time. Between repairs, seasonal upkeep, HOA rules, and coordinating renters or guests, the idea of “relaxation” often took a back seat. For many buyers who want access to high-end vacation living, the work behind the scenes has never felt worth the equity, until now.

Slow-Travel Spain: From Madrid’s Heart to Coastal Charms

*Collaborative Post

There’s something about Spain that makes you want to slow down. Maybe it’s the late dinners, or the long chats over coffee in shaded plazas. Maybe it’s the way people wander rather than rush. Whatever the reason, it’s a wonderful country to experience at a different pace, one that allows you to take in not just the places, but how it feels to be in them.

If you’re thinking about Spain for your next break, Spain vacation packages can offer a great starting point, especially if you’d like a bit of the planning taken care of. But if you’re hoping to travel more slowly and mindfully, Spain is one of those countries that rewards that kind of approach.
