Travel has always been a key passion of mine and I am constantly planning my next adventure! I have been lucky enough to visit some fantastic areas and countries all over the world, however I have a strong love of Europe. I often think it is easy to forget about the incredible destinations we have close to home and what a variety these offer and the plus of no jet lag too!
In just a 3 hour flight, you can be exploring the fascinating landscapes and geography of Iceland, fantastic in both winter with a chance of seeing the Northern Lights and summer for outdoor activities at a slightly warmer temperature!
Then of course there are the capital cities or little towns, steeped with history or just for a weekend break away from the usual day to day. We also have some wonderful beaches to enjoy and delicious Mediterranean food and even incredible mountains with a plethora of activities.

"Many thanks for the great service from you guys, it was a pleasure dealing with you and you made everything ridiculously easy. I am off on safari next year, I purchased the vacation at a silent auction and so the travel agent came with it, dealing with them makes me realize just how exceptional your service is. I will be recommending Scott Dunn to friends and family and hope to work with you again on my next trip."

My top tips

When in Dubrovnik, take the cable car up the mountain just before sunset to enjoy a ride up with an impressive sea view sunset and then enjoy a ‘sundowner’ in the bar at the top.

In North Vietnam, make sure you take a Junk cruise in Halong Bay, it is amazing sailing past the floating villages and jumping off for a kayak to further explore.
