Hello, I'm Mike & welcome to my channel

I have travelled the world for about 45 years, as a solo traveller / backpacker, with my wife as a couple & with my immediate family, including my grandchildren.

I have visited 35 countries so far and across the world, staying in every type of hotel & resort accommodation you can think of, visiting many interesting (& whacky) places.

This experience has enabled me to understand what makes a great place to stay & visit and what doesn't!

I started to post videos regularly in 2023, to begin to share these places with you, to give you insight, to inspire you & to help you make INFORMED travel choices about places you may OR MAY NOT have thought about visiting around the world, as well as in the East of England.

As I am NOT SPONSORED and do not do product endorsements, I will ALWAYS provide you with UNBIASED and BALANCED, HONEST REVIEWS as well as lots of TOP TIPS, which will help SAVE you money & time when travelling there.

Good morning

I hope you are all doing well and looking forward to Christmas and the Holiday season

A couple of people have private messaged me to ask if I was ok, as I appeared a little short of breath on a couple of my Jordan videos (a few more videos still to be posted from that wonderful country, that Im in the process of editing now).

I am ok, but I didn't know when I was in Jordan, that I had a problem with my heart.

The day I got back from Jordan, I was rushed to hospital, as I had a heart attack that was completely unexpected. One of my heart arteries was 100% blocked. I have had a procedure to help that, but when the doctor was doing that, he noticed that another artery was partially blocked and I'm back in hospital tomorrow to have that looked at and / or dealt with.

I've not been able to do anything for the last 4 weeks including driving, so sadly a trip last week to Austria had to be cancelled.

I don't think Ill be able to fly for a couple of months, but hope to resume my travels in the coming months.

As I say, I still have a few great videos still to post over the coming few weeks, so please look out for them and hopefully, a new destination in the new year.

Look after yourselves and enjoy the build up to Christmas

Thank you for your continued support for my channel, which is really appreciated ❤️

I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has subscribed to my channel and left Likes and Comments on my videos

I'm not a full time traveller OR on YouTube for money. I film, edit and post my videos as a hobby, to hopefully inspire and help anyone who is thinking of visiting a place I'm visiting AND ALSO to help anyone who may be researching a destination, hotel, resort OR place to visit before booking to go there. That's why your Likes and comments mean so much to me, it makes it all worth it

I use YouTube as my main research tool when looking to go somewhere, which is why you will always find lots of useful information and top tips when watching my videos. I share this simply because its what I like to see and hear when doing my own research.
I also commit to answering any questions you may have from my videos within 24 hours, as hopefully that will help you with your decision making

Thank you again for all your support and safe travels

Hi everyone
I hope you are all keeping well
I've posted some videos recently of places to visit in East Anglia, UK. Voted by Lonely Planet as a MUST VISIT destination for 2025.
Tomorrow lunch time (Saturday 16th Aug) I will be posting what I believe to be one of East Anglia's most under rated seaside towns
I hope you enjoy the video. Please let me know AND please do let me know in the comments of the video, your favourite seaside destination or, any recommendations of places to visit
All the best
Mike

My 1st video of a 2 day trip to Billund in Denmark is now live. This video is a tour of Lego House, the home of the brick!, which is a great day out for adults and children and you dont have to be a big Lego fan to have fun here!

Subsequent videos will be the fun and very different Lego mini chef restaurant, where you order your food by Lego bricks and get served by robots.

I will also be posting a day trip to the lovely little town of Vejle on the edge of a fjord and rated by Lonely Planet, as Denmark's most under rated city. It is well worth a visit and only 30 minutes from Billund airport by bus.

People dont often think about visiting Denmark for a holiday or even a 1 or 2 day trip, compared to other European countries, so I hope you enjoy this little insight and something different from these videos.

Thank you as always for your continued support ❤️

Hi everyone
Hope you are all keeping well.
Many apologies for the fact that I haven't posted anything for the last 3 weeks. I've had some technical difficulties with uploading, which is now sorted.
My last Maldives video about Male international airport departures and what to expect , which includes some cool on board sea plane footage, will be out tomorrow afternoon UK time. I also have another 9 videos to post from 3 different countries over the coming weeks, including an extreme day trip that you may want to consider, to a European country.
Thanks as always for your fantastic support
Safe travels
Mike

My latest video, Cinnamon Hakuraa Huraa in the Maldives, is now live on YouTube.
A paradise island that can be a lot cheaper to visit than you think.
I hope you enjoy it. Please do let me know in the comments and if you have any questions, as always, I will ensure I reply within 24 hours
Thank you as always
Mike
