Hi and thanks for stopping by! This is my corner of the internet where I share my love for travelling and also my appreciation for the history of the world – two things that go together quite well I think!

I’m Kirsty and I’ve been a travel blogger for almost 10 years now, starting when my kids were younger and we had dreams of exploring Europe in a camper van!

I like to share bucket list type travel experiences but hopefully in a way that makes them accessible to all. We’ve travelled to some amazing places and have plans to do so much more too!

I now travel with my husband James and sometimes with our dog Annie. My kids are grown now but do come along sometimes!

We love ticking off the must see travel sights, history destinations, road trips and out of season travelling in the winter (I blame getting married in February – so many city anniversary trips!!).

Our favourite places are Scotland, England, Europe and USA but so much more to explore!
