Hi, I'm Stuart Williams, and welcome to STU STEPS AWAY.

Extreme Day Trips, budget travel challenges, cheap flights, train adventures and transport experiences across the UK and Europe.

From £33 trips to Poland and £30 returns to the Italian Lakes, to high-speed trains across Spain and one-day adventures in Luxembourg, Copenhagen and beyond, I'm proving you don't need weeks off work or a huge budget to have an adventure.

Soon to be semi-retired after years behind a desk, I'm spending my second act collecting experiences instead of things. If there's a scenic railway, bargain flight, ferry crossing or travel challenge that sounds slightly ridiculous, I'm probably on it.

Expect honest travel vlogs, rail journeys, European city breaks, local food and drink, practical travel tips, real prices and plenty of unexpected twists along the way.

New adventures regularly.

Join me for the next mile.
