English Writer Explores
I’m Victoria Connelly – a writer who makes films about the beautiful places I visit both in the UK and further afield. From ancient churches and literary haunts to exotic palaces and country gardens filled with blooms. There are also films about my solo travels which I hope will encourage and inspire anyone who might have an adventurous spirit but who's a little nervous to take that first trip alone.
I hope you find my films both relaxing and inspiring – somewhere you can escape to which, I feel, is needed now more than ever.

My new video is out today! Have you been to Nice in the south of France? I had a wonderful two-night break here exploring this vibrant city. It might just be my new favourite place for solo travelling!

Hello everyone! I'm so thrilled to be posting the latest in my 'Solo in...' series. This time, it's the vibrant city of Milan in Italy. I had a super-quick, super last-minute trip there last month and I really hope you love the video. Have you been? What did you see if you visited?

I hope you've been enjoying the videos from my recent trips. I feel so lucky to have explored a little of southern Spain and Puglia in Italy, and it's definitely whetted my apetite to explore even more of these two stunning countries. I'll be sharing some films from closer to home for a little while. Any ideas where the next one will be from? Here's a little visual clue. Viewers of a certain ITV show may be familiar with this scene!

Better late than never! I've managed to record my voice over for the new video and it will be published later tonight. I'm so excited to show you around Alberobello and the place where I was staying in Puglia. It really is a magical area!
