Visit Stonehenge & experience something magical

Stonehenge

Excited to experience something magical, mysterious and truly magnificent? Journey back in time and explore the UNSESCO World Heritage site of Stonehenge, one of the most distinctive landmarks in the UK.

This 5000 year old structure is quite easily the most sophisticated stone circle in the world and with just a two and a half hour train journey, it’s an easy day trip from London. But go early to beat the crowds and pre-book your tickets!

“Sunrise with its first rays shining into the heart of Stonehenge behind the Heel Stone is a truly magical time to visit. Also be sure to make a detour and enjoy a Roman bath experience in Bath! ”

Why I love travel: 

There is so many different cultures to experience and history that goes way beyond New Zealand's few hundred years of course - stunning natural beauty can be enjoyed all over the world.


My travel tips:

  • If you are there - do it. Travel is all about experiences that create wonderful memories, so don't regret not doing something because you were concerned about the price - the bank won't mind and you will talk about it for years to come. 
  • Pack light as you can always find a laundromat - though I do need to take me own advice! 
  • Find the most comfortable walking shoes you can find and break them in before you go. You will probably do lots of walking in some countries .... old European cobbled streets can take a toll. 
  • Be prepared to and learn how to tip so you don't get thought of as a bad tourist - most of the world tips for service and yet it's so foreign to us, but very important to do so. 


My top 5 favourite destinations: 

  • Pacific Islands - a close tropical beach escape. The rest of the world dreams of these exotic locations and they are just there for us. 
  • Canada - amazing wilderness experiences on a grand scale.
  • Italy - organised chaos! I just love the expressive personalities of the people, as well the fabulous food and drink and amazing history. 
  • Vietnam - a bit of everything from great beaches to amazing food and stunning rural scenery and different minority cultures.
  • Mediterranean Cruise - why not take your hotel with you - wake up each day with a new culture and experience to be had - this is the place to cruise!

What's in my suitcase:

  • Too much - I must do better!
  • One universal adaptor and a 4 plug New Zealand multi box
