Would You Consider a Staycation in Maidstone?
In this economy, many of us are probably now considering holidays a bit closer to home. Covid definitely also had a hand in making the idea of a “staycation” more normalised. If you’re in the UK and considering where to go this Summer, feel free to join me in this review of our stay at 13 The Mallows in Maidstone. Amongst my friends, the staycation has actually been somewhat of an annual tradition. Every Summer, one of my closest friends hosts a weekend away for her birthday somewhere in the UK.

5 Reasons Why You Should Go On A Cruise
Here I am, thinking about booking another cruise, again. I’ve only been on two cruises so far, but I absolutely loved them! The first was with Royal Caribbean in 2022, where I saw seven different southern Caribbean islands in seven days. It was pure magic and I didn’t want to leave. I remember wanting to pretend I had covid just so I could stay on the ship for an extra week! The second cruise was with Celebrity Cruises where I went to four more Caribbean islands in seven days. I experienced sea days with this cruise, which is where you spend the whole day on the cruise whilst it sails to the next country. That was a nice chance to reset and just laze around in luxury.

Visiting Nature in Costa Rica (#4)
A staple when soaking up nature in Costa Rican is a hike part way up an active volcano to see gorgeous waterfalls. Paraiso Volcano Lodge, the lodge we stayed at I described in the previous article, was nestled in between two volcanos with a third a reasonable drive away. There is Miravelles, which we skipped but would have loved if we had a whole day to dedicate; then there is Rincon de la Vieja, which I had originally aimed for since it has natural hot springs nearby; and then there is Tenorio, which we did.

Our Volcanic Accommodations in Costa Rica (#3)
When scouring the Internet for a great place to stay, we knew it had to be inland surrounded by nature as well as within suitable driving distance (under 90 minutes) from a slew of enjoyable activities. We found it at Paraiso Volcano Lodge (paraiso translates to paradise) at the border of the Guanacaste and Alajuela provinces on route 164.

Travel Hindsight- Why You Shouldn’t Always Go for the Cheapest option
There was one thing I really wanted to do on our Central America trip, that was to take some Spanish classes. I mean Duolingo is all well and good up to a point but I was dying for the fun experience of real life learning. We had been advised to take classes in Guatemala because they have one of the easiest dialects to learn, with a clear accent and slow pace.

Stilts Calatagan Beach Resort in Calatagan Batangas, Philippines
We traveled from Manila to Calatagan, Batangas, on December 23, 2023, to visit their lovely beach. Our major goal is to visit a public beach; unfortunately, I believe that practically all of the beaches in Calatagan are privately owned. We decided to visit the Stilt Calatagan Beach Resort when we got to Calatagan because we didn't know where else to go. Our driving experience has been poor; when we get to Santo Tomas, Waze directs us to a road that is both narrow and winding around the mountainside.
