Another hot Malta bargain (this summer)
Summer holidays in the Med can be pretty expensive, especially if you’re going at the peak time of the school holidays. Which is why I was so pleasantly surprised to find some offers for deals to Malta this summer between May and October. Despite that being the peak season, you can still pick up some [...]
There’s always a bargain
I’m always watching the rather brilliant icelolly.com website for good deals – even if I have absolutely no intention of travelling. The deals they offer are somewhat staggering, although a quick flick over to tripadvisor reveals that many of the cheapest deals are in sub-standard hotels. Having said that, for cheap trips to Spain, you [...]
Another site for cheap flights (if you ring up)
I used to use a travel agent to book all my flights, and then Kayak came along and I assumed it was cheaper just to run a search that way. It’s certainly a lot easier to do it online, rather than ring up and wait for an agent and then painstakingly talk through the dates [...]

So when I found an eBay store offering cruise vouchers, with similarly ill-designed graphics I nearly clicked away.
But I thought it wise to [...]
Another way to see the world
Since taking time out of a career and ‘gap’ years are so fashionable now, I thought of sharing an idea with you that involves a lot of travelling and getting paid. And if you have sea-legs, then this might be a brilliant opportunity!
I am of course talking about getting a job on board a cruise [...]
A tip for flightless ‘around the world’ holidays
Ok, so you’re looking to go around the world and you don’t want to fly. That’s understandable : flying in planes makes your carbon footprint something of a monster. If you’re like me and believe that the journey there is quite a lot of the fun, then going overland will definitely appeal to you.
