The Royal Family’s 3 Favourite Holiday Homes

1. Balmoral Castle


The Balmoral Estate is one of the royal family’s most revered possessions. The land was originally bought up by Queen Victoria in 1852, when she demolished the old buildings to make way for a new, larger castle.

When Abroad


Like so many other frequent travellers, I truly appreciate the amount of time and effort that hotel staff put into prepping my hotel room. There is nothing quite like walking into one of the Scottish highland hotels and being presented with a room that is absolutely spotless. Since I have frequented these particular hotels so often, I have come to expect a certain level of service, and they have never let me down.

Getting your Kilt Right in Edinburgh

A kilt isn’t a piece of clothing you should just throw on. One should know a bit about the famous Highlander garment first, at least how to wear it without embarrassing yourself.

Baku’s Long Defence

The oldest part of Baku is well defended. Protection from invaders was once provided by the city’s 12th-century defensive walls. However, the best defence of the city today comes from its status as a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is this that protects the defensive fortifications, which have been well preserved as a result.

Head over Heels for Sardinia


Never in my life have I been to such a beautiful place as Sardinia. The culture, weather, and general experience is something that should be admired, as it is something truly unique. Although it may seem as though I am bragging about this wonderful little island, to be truthful, I had not even heard of it prior to researching our trip. It seems to be one of those hidden gems that our wonderful world has held onto for quite some time, exposing it to only those that care to journey off the beaten path. Luckily, I have a wife that is more than willing to go out of her way and research interesting travel destinations, as I would have never come across Sardinia if it were not for her efforts.

Short Breaks In Scotland

Planning a short break in Scotland is a great idea. The waters are clear, the air is fresh, the scenery is magnificent and the culture is rich and vibrant. Last time I was in the country was with my family when we visited because we could stay in a friend of ours’ uncles’ cottage for free.

Sardinia

Have you ever known anyone who has been to Sardinia and have not thoroughly enjoyed their visit?


Sun, sea and good food is just a small part of what the world has to say about this autonomous region of Italy.

One Summer Holiday Suggestion in the UK


Have you decided where to go on a holiday this summer? Don't tell me you are going fly to a foreign country again! It is senseless to spend a bunch of money for a foreign vacation, when you can stay in your home country and have a great and cheaper holiday experience.

The Power to Suprise

Add caption
What is the best thing to do if you want to make someone happy? Probably to buy some fancy gift or a romantic dinner in expensive restaurant will be a good thing. Well, I personally can figure out more interesting and not that expensive present. What about a holiday? I am talking about a simple holiday somewhere outside the home country. The power to surprise is something that cannot be read in the books or learn at school. You either have it or don`t. The idea of the present is to give amazing satisfaction every single time and still be original.

A trip to the stars

To see the stars will be something unique and most people dream to touch it one single day. There is another expression for the term of stars, which is called Barcelona. Don`t get me wrong that Barcelona is the most shiny and respectful place on the planet earth. For sure there are many other cities which can

La Rambla

It is normal to see crowded streets full with energetic tourists come in Barcelona to grab some piece of the inspiring atmosphere, but I have personally never seen so many people in La Ramla street.
The Rambla originally was a small street stream flowing just outside the city walls. In the 16th century convents and a university were built along the
