It’s no secret that Italy is my favourite country in the whole world. I have visited its islands, cities, mountains and beaches (and I’ve got these Italy blog posts to prove it). Florence is somewhere I visited as part of an epic road trip adventure through Tuscany. At the end of the road trip, we enjoyed 3 nights in Florence, during… View Post
On 1st January I set some new intentions (not resolutions). The main one was to try and start waking up 1 hour earlier (I am not a morning person). But I wanted to make a change to start each day slowly and mindfully; to wake up and put my own needs first. Usually I would roll out of bed and… View Post
As Theo grew from a baby to a toddler, I decided that it was time to move on to smaller, lighter and more nimble every-day pram. We had been using our Joolz Day3 ever since Theo came home from hospital, and the transition from its bassinet to front facing seat was seamless. However, at around 20 months, I realised that… View Post
After spending so much time in our own homes this year, it’s safe to say that we are all really looking forward to taking a holiday in 2021. Whilst cautious travellers are still holding off on making any bookings, it can still be fun to plan and research potential trips. This blog has always been about providing travel inspiration, so… View Post
Hey guys! I’m excited to share some big news. I’ve got a job! It’s an amazing communications role at a national UK charity. Since 2016, running The Travelista has been my full time job and sole source of income. I have travelled the world through a job that I created, and I could not be more proud of this. However,… View Post
I’m very proud to be a Yorkshire lass and love to share all the great things there are to see in my home county of North Yorkshire. As 2021 is set to be a popular year holidaying at home, I have teamed up with Inntravel and rounded up 5 of the best North Yorkshire Staycations. From spa breaks in Harrogate to… View Post
We recently stayed at Lower Campscott Farm, which offers unique child friendly accommodation in Devon, near Woolacombe and Ilfracombe. The farm has eight 4* self catering cottages, each one different from the next. The whole place is geared towards families with young children, allowing them to experience a real ‘farm holiday’, whilst being by the sea. I actually stumbled across… View Post
Last month we bravely loaded up the car and set off on the 6 hour drive from Leeds to North Devon, with our 22 month toddler in tow. This holiday was our Plan B after our flights to Spain were cancelled due to Covid. I was really happy with the Plan B we had come up with and was looking… View Post
As many of you will know, prematurity is now a topic very close to my heart after my own son Theo was born prematurely at 25 weeks. As well as posting about travel and motherhood, I also try to raise awareness about prematurity whenever I can (particularly on my Instagram). But today I am glad to raise awareness on my… View Post
I was surprised and a little bit saddened to learn that 20% of people are still not wearing face coverings when travelling on UK trains. Why? I have travelled by train four times since the travel restrictions were lifted, and every time I have worn a mask without hesitation. So I’ve teamed up with Northern to help encourage people to… View Post
