The days are long, the sun is shining and Bristol is awake and ready to party!! 

I genuinely don’t think any Uk city celebrates summer quite as well as Bristol does. It’s not just that there’s always something going on, it’s the fact that so many of the summer events in Bristol are completely free to attend! Whether you’re travelling alone or with family, you’ll always find something to do in Bristol without breaking the bank. There are so many smaller events to stumble upon throughout the summer months, but here are the four biggest events throughout summer in Bristol that you can’t afford to miss!

From Suitcase to Sofa: Meaningful Ways to Hold Onto Travel Memories

Post in Collaboration with Anavo Group

Hey Friends,

As we get older it becomes increasingly important to cherish the precious memories of the adventures we’ve had. Personally, I love surrounding myself with memories from my previous travels - both in order to perk myself up on harder days, and to remind myself of the experiences that have helped me grow into the person I am today. I don’t travel as often as I used to, so finding little ways to keep the magic alive at home feels more important than ever. If you're craving a dose of wanderlust from the comfort of your living room, here are a few creative ways to surround yourself with memories from your trips.

5 Must See European Destinations to Visit This Summer

European summer is just around the corner, parents are gearing up for sunny half term breaks, and with the long days and warm nights on the horizon, I've found myself looking ahead to sunny weekend city breaks or beach trips. 

Having just had to cancel our cruise this year, I've got absolutely nothing booked and a bit of "blank page" syndrome. There are so many places I would love to re-visit from previous cruises, because one day in port just isn't enough! At the same time, it's a big world out there with lots to explore! If you're in the same boat and looking to book some summer trips, allow me to share a few of my all time favourite destinations to inspire you.

Can You use Your Phone on a Cruise Ship?

Can You Use Your Phone at Sea?

Like Christmas Eve, everything is packed and ready to go, the house is walking a fine line between show-home and organised chaos, and you're ready for an early night before the big day. But while you're getting ready to board your cruise ship, you might be wondering how to keep in touch with friends and family throughout your trip. It's common knowledge that cruise ship wifi packages are tantamount to daylight robbery - so can you just use your phone on board instead? The short answer is yes. You will be able to get a mobile phone signal while at sea but, before you breathe a sigh of relief, keep reading for the full story. If you don't, you could be liable for a phone bill worth several hundred pounds! 

GigSky Review - Are eSIMs Worth It for Cruise Holidays?

A few weeks ago I wrote an article answering the question “can you use your phone at sea?”. In case you haven’t read it, the TLDR is that you can use your phone at sea as long as you have money to burn. Using your phone as normal at sea is a surefire way to give your future self a very nasty surprise.

For years I have told people to ensure they turn their phone to airplane mode as soon as they leave port. However, since sharing that article a few weeks ago I have actually found a way to use your phone at sea without bankrupting yourself, so of course I had to share the information with you!
