I love seeing new places, going on holiday and travelling with my family. Travel and kids may not always seem like the best idea but in the last few years I have learnt so much from it and now it feels so natural and each time we go I am eager to get away again on the next adventure. Whether it is a holiday in the UK or abroad we have fun whatever we get up to and it is always the highlight of my year and we love sharing this with you. You will also find tips and tricks, destination and tour ideas, recommendations (from both myself and companies) and eco-conscious travel.

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.
