Premier Inn Now Offer 30 Minutes Free WiFi

Premier Inn is now offering guests 30 minutes of free WiFi per day in all of their UK hotels.  I phoned Premier Inn to ask if the 30 minutes free WiFi is per room or per guest and they told me it’s per guest and that guests will be given a code on check-in to [...]

Exploring Europe Through Wine

The vineyards and wine cellars of Europe are great tourist attractions and I can understand why – try some new wine, perhaps have a tasty meal and enjoy a good view while you’re there. When I lived in southern Germany, I thoroughly enjoyed having easy access to a variety of vineyards. Here at Europe a la [...]

25 Things to Do in the Netherlands

For a small country, the Netherlands, often (incorrectlly) known as Holland,  has many features which are well-known throughout the world: tulips, windmills and cheeses, just to name a few, and not to mention one of the most famous capital cities in the world in Amsterdam.

10 Places to Visit in Slovakia

I spent a fantastic year living in Bratislava, but it’s not the capital of Slovakia that I’m going to tell you about today – instead, I’ve compiled a list of travel tips on what to do in Slovakia which are located outside of Bratislava. It’s still a relatively little-known country on the tourist trail but [...]

25 Things To Do in Hungary

Hungary is one of those particularly unique countries in Europe – despite being landlocked and sharing borders with seven other countries, it’s developed and maintained a quite distinct language and culture. Hungarian is well-known to be one of the most difficult languages in Europe, but fortunately plenty of Hungarians speak a little English and you [...]

10 Things To Do in Bulgaria

Bulgaria is a beautiful country in Eastern Europe full of art, culture, history, and fun. Prehistoric cultures in the area date all the way back to the Neolithic Period, and some of that history can still be seen today.

Beat Airline Hand Luggage Restrictions with Rufus Roo

If you want to beat airline hand luggage restrictions, then wearing a Rufus Roo jacket could be the solution. While the six-pocket jacket isn’t going to win any fashion awards, the manufacturers say it can hold up to 10kg of luggage. Presently many airlines have a maximum size for hand luggage and a 1okg weight [...]

Karen, I am working on your guest post now. Something about travel you say? Anything specific you want? I will brainstorm tonight and tomorrow.

hey Karen, love the content of your blog- all about Europe and everything amazing about it! I'd love to write a guest post for you if possible - perhaps on the Moorish influence in Granada (specifically the Alhambra) or the enchanting viewpoints of the city. I used to live in Madrid and traveled often to Granada since it's our second home. Hope to hear from you!

Hi Karen, I would be very interested in writing a guest post for you. And vice versa for me, if you want to write one. Please inform me on what you are thinking about for the travel site. I am ready to contribute! :)

Let me know what kind of post you want me to write.

a presto,
Kate :)

How soon is too soon to start attending conferences and events?

I have a 2 month old travel blog that I have been working very hard to establish.  What I am trying to figure out is how soon is too soon to start attending travel events and conferences?Will it be a boost to my blog at this point, or will it be a relative waste of time?  Is it too soon to start networking and making contacts?  What do you think?Have any of you attended any conferences or events, and what was your experience?Thanks so much for your input,Shanna…See More
