When I was 16 years old I went to work in Germany in a family run hotel - the Hotel zur Post in St Goar on the river Rhein. It was a great experience and to a large extent is where my love of travel, hospitality & languages began. #traveltribe #travelbloggers

Today I should have been leaving for India to escort @greatrailjourneys "Five Star India, Shimla & Tiger Safari" tour. My thoughts are with all of my friends in India who are having such a hard time 💚 Photo taken in Jaipur 2 years ago. #taveltribe #greatrailjourneys

Very strange travelling on Eurostar with one other person in the carriage! Paris is notably quieter than London - far fewer people on the streets. I guess that's down to having to carry a signed declaration to justify every trip away from your home. The police are checking!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends & colleagues in the States. I hope you're keeping safe & well & fingers crossed I'll be able to see you all soon! #thanksgiving #traveltribe #travelbloggers #traveladvisor #traveladvice #traveltips #travelgram #travelblogger #turkeyday

Great news that British travellers can still get emergency health cover in Europe after Brexit. The new "Global" Health Insurance Card isn't global - it covers Europe & now excludes Iceland, Norway, Lichtenstein & Switzerland. which.co.uk/news/2020/12/b…

I'm really enjoying watching the Real Marigold Hotel again on the BBC. I have had the pleasure of taking several groups to visit the Khatu Haveli in Jaipur & can't wait to get back to Jaipur again! #traveltribe #travelblogger #jaipurcity #khatuhaveli #greatrailjourneys

In my view, the prettiest train station in France is Limoges-Bénédictins because of its beautiful art-déco style (picture 1). Nevertheless, congratulations to Metz (picture 2), voted winner in the 'Most beautiful station of 2020' competition! #plusbellegare2020 #traveltribe
