  • ❤ SRI LANKA 🇱🇰  I've been going through photos of my Sri Lanka trip and wrote up a review of one of my favourite places that I stayed in - @galoyalodge which is an incredible eco lodge, perfect if you're looking for a proper getaway. They're located by the Gal Oya National Park, where you'll find virtually none else, a real luxury nowadays.   They also have an array of fantastic experiences, including this boat safari, where I experienced the most beautiful sunset of my life....ten minutes before this photo I was sipping a cup of masala tea watching a family of elephants swim in the lake - pure bliss. Swipe right for more pics ➡️  🌿 Link in bio       @srilanka #selectiveasia #tripandtoniccollection #galoyanationalpark #srilanka #srilanka #srilankanfood #srilankatravel #sigiriyarock #sigiriya #asiatravel #srilankatrip #exploresrilanka #srilanka_travel #beautifuldestinations #passportpassion #natgeotravel #seasia #asiantravel #travellingasia #fantasticearth #ig_great_shots #tasteintravel #passionpassport #welivetoexplore #mytinyatlas #traveldeeper #suitcasetravels #travelblogger #familytravelblogger #ukftb
  • 🌿A few weeks ago I jumped on a train in Brighton and ended in one of the greenest places I've ever seen, the lush region of the French Ardennes. 🌿We spent the weekend discovering the best of what the region has to offer, from adventurous activities to cultural experiences - all of which I've shared on my latest post (link in bio) 🌿Enjoy, and start planning - this place is a real gem! #ad #ardennesfamilies . . . . . . . . #ardennes #igersreims #ardennestourisme #traveldeeper #suitcasetravels #familytraveltribe #familytravelmoment #familytravelblogger #guardiantravelsnaps #travelstoke #passportready #beautifuldestinations #travelmore #travelnow #beautifulplacesonearth #livetravelchannel #travelphotography #tbin #ukftb #ftb100 #travelblogger #familytravelblogger #searchwandercollect #cntraveler  #thatsdarling
  • #Ad - Press trip 🌿 Another splash of green on the grid 😍 A lovely picture of me and @alexjadep trying to row in a straight line 📷 thanks to @ardennestourisme ❤ The canoes were rented through Canoe Semoy (not on insta, but a quick Google will find them), who also do paddle boards and can arrange your bikes and other outdoorsy activities. Super friendly and helpful - to be honest, every local business we encountered was like this, small, local and very attentive. The canoes themselves were fit for a family of 3, one adult at the front, child in the middle and the other adult on the back - perfect for those with little ones! The prices are ridiculously reasonable too, for a 2.5km journey it's only €11 for a family canoe, or €13 for a paddle board 🙌 It was one of the highlights of our trip, and I cant wait to go back with C 🌿 Have you ever been to the Ardennes region before?
  • Welcome to the Place Ducale in Charleville 😍 Clément Métezeau was commissioned to build the city's main square by the city founder Charles Gonzaga, and if you think it looks familiar, you're absolutely right! Place Ducale is a sister square of Place de Vosges in Paris which was created by Clement's brother Louis. The square still takes centre stage in the city, and is home to a beautiful carousel which would certainly make my little one very happy. During our visit the rain made a showstopping appearance, so our guide kindly took us to the most beautiful cafe just off the main square (you can have a peek in my story highlights). Nothing like learning about the city's history while sipping one hot chocolate and nibbling on a slice of the local sugar pie 🤭 ◇ #Ad / press trip ◇ #ardennesfamilies
  • The greenest of greens and bluest of blues...The views from Roche a Sept Heures over the Meuse River and Monthermé are postcard perfect, the rolling hills behind the town and the Meuse running through it. 🌿 The Trans-Ardenne cycle path runs alongside the Meus for 87km, from Charleville-Mézières in the south to Givet in the north - that's 54 miles of a flat cycle track where you get rewarded with views like these...! I really want to come back with Charlie, and cycle between village to village over a few days - the path is so flat and peaceful, perfect for ride with kids. AD - press trip #ardennesfamilies
  • Good morning from the Ardennes! I'm here on a press trip to explore the region and some of its many experiences. It is without a doubt one of the greenest and most picturesque places I've ever been to 🌿 So far (in one day!) we've spent an hour gently canoeing on the river Semoy, surrounded by views like this; picked up bikes in Montetherme and cycled the flat path of the Trans-Ardenne alongside the Meuse River with equally beautiful views and ended the day going on the highest zip wire in northern France! I've fallen in love with the region and have been busy plotting a visit with my little one - its perfect to unwind, turn off your devices and have adventures in nature. 🌿 I'll be sharing it all here, but if you're curious for now head to stories for more. 🤩 AD press trip @britmums @ardennestourisme #ardennesfamilies
