I love planning trips almost as much as taking them. This growing collection brings together practical, first-hand itineraries for day trips, weekend breaks, city escapes and longer adventures.
My itineraries are shaped by the things I enjoy most when travelling: local history, distinctive neighbourhoods, memorable food and the character of a destination. They are carefully paced to help you make the most of your time without making every day feel rushed.

How I Plan My Trips
Every itinerary is based on first-hand travel and reflects either the route I followed or the route I would recommend after experiencing the destination.
I aim to create itineraries that are:
- Realistically paced
- Organised to reduce unnecessary backtracking
- Focused on history, food and local character
- Detailed enough to be useful while leaving room for spontaneity
- Honest about what is and is not worth fitting into a limited trip
Travel rarely goes exactly to plan, and I do not think it should. These itineraries provide a useful structure while leaving space for unexpected discoveries, long lunches and places that make you want to stay longer than expected.
