Why should you travel here?

"It's a true paradise! Although considered expensive, you can find an island for every budget in the Maldives."

Favourite time of year to visit Maldives

"It’s warm in the Maldives throughout the year, but the weather is at its best in the dry season from November to April."

@ulrika.wanderwoman's Top Tips

"The outer islands are more tranquil, but usually also require a 20-60 min seaplane transfer. A wonderful experience, but can add greatly to the cost, usually €300-500 pp."

@ulrika.wanderwoman's Top Tips

"Water villas are totally worth the experience! To save, consider staying just one or two nights in a water villa and the rest in a more affordable room."

A 'MUST' whilst you're there?

"Underwater life is unbelievable in the Maldives and snorkelling or scuba diving is highly recommended. "

Must pack items for Maldives

"Pack plenty of sunscreen, sunglasses, swimwear and a hat, it's incredibly bright in the Maldives with both water and white sand reflecting the light. Don’t take any alcohol with you as it’s prohibited. Alcoholic drinks are only available on resort islands"

@_lisamward_'s Top Tips

"The best time to arrive at this top tourist attraction in the city is just before sunrise. Avoid the bustling crowds that will emerge later in the day for a more peaceful experience."

What do you love most about Inari Shrine?

"It's something completely unique and awe-inspiring. Walking through the colourful shrines with the rising sun breaking through the trees was the perfect way to start my day!"

Must pack items for Inari Shrine

"Comfortable walking shoes! There are many, many stairs to scale to the top of the trail so flip flops won't cut it."

Benefits of a tour guide for Inari Shrine

"There's an abundance of history to this attraction, as well as a couple of paths less trodden on by tourists, so a guide is brilliant for shedding light on these for a more enriching visit."

Favourite time of year to visit Inari Shrine

"Late autumn - Kyoto is very busy, but late autumn is slightly more manageable, and it makes for a more comfortable walk up all the thousands of stairs."

Favourite time of year to visit Tenerife

"The best thing about Tenerife is that the weather is great all year round! I have visited in May, June, July and November. Personally, I prefer out-of-season when it's hot and the island is still quiet."

What do you love most about Tenerife?

"Walking along the coast! From Los Cristianos to La Caleta, there are beautiful sea views, cocktail bars and cafes the whole way!"

Best activities to do?

"Siam park, rent a boat and spot dolphins and pilot whales, as well as a trip to Teide National Park."

Favourite restaurants?

"Bombay Babu, Imperial Tai Pan, Leonardos and Luuma are my favourite places in Tenerife! "

@courtgoestravelling 's Top Tips

"If you are going with a group - look to rent out your own boat for the day. Prices can be great when split amongst a group and it's the best private luxury day out. "

@_kennawilliams_'s Top Tips

"Jatiluwih Rice Terraces Is one of the top (if not THE top) rice terraces to visit in Bali. The earlier you can get there, the better, as there will be fewer people walking around."

What do you love most about Bali?

"Bali has so many beautiful waterfalls. Some require a lengthy hike, while others are in a more populated, touristy area. Whichever one you visit, it’ll be worth it!"

@_kennawilliams_'s Top Tips

"The Ulun Danu temple is beautiful, but it is a small part of a larger “park.” The park does get quite crowded during lunch as there are restaurants on site. Go early!"

@_kennawilliams_'s Top Tips

"Visit Tanuh Lot close to sunset. It will be crowded, but there’s ample space to relax and catch a beautiful sunset on the coast."

@_kennawilliams_'s Top Tips

"Leave all loose items in the car when you visit the Secret Monkey Forest. These monkeys may be adorable, but they are feisty and can get aggressive if you bring bags in with you (they think it’s food!)."

A 'MUST' whilst you're there?

"Chasing the sunset! The sun sets over the Atlantic Ocean in Cornwall, so make sure you witness the beauty of seeing the sun dropping behind the ocean."

Favourite time of year to visit Cornwall

"The summer months of June to September are stunning - the sea is turquoise and clear, and the hidden sandy coves are at their best! "

What do you love most about Cornwall?

"The hidden coves, the quaint fishermen’s villages, the mighty Atlantic Ocean surf, lush green fields, soaring cliffs, fish ‘n chips & cream teas! "

@travellustlarry's Top Tips

"Make sure you walk across the cobbled causeway to St Michael’s Mount. It’s a tidal path out across Mount’s Bay so make sure you know the tide times or get the boat back to the mainland."

Land’s End…

"Make sure you visit the most westerly point of the UK - Lands End. It’s wild, rugged & stunning. Look out across the Atlantic to the next bit of land, the Americas!"

Cornish cuisine?

"Must eats whilst in Cornwall are the Cornish pasty, cream teas, fish n chips, ice cream & the local catch from the Atlantic - not all in one sitting, though! "

Did you know?

"Cornwall was the world centre for Tin mining in the 19th century & and these areas are now World Heritage Sites. You can walk amongst the skeletons of the old engine houses that hug the sea cliffs. "
