For example for my 6 day planned trip to New York, the tool creates a customised trip plan based on my interests which were: ‘culture’, ‘romantic’ , ‘museums’, ‘relaxing’ and ‘outdoors’ The trip planner then pulled together a 6 day itinerary for me and at first instance, I was impressed with some of the suggestions. The city has an amazing food scene-I’d love to check out some of the amazing food trucks here like Kimchi Taco for their Kimchi Tacos, go to Katz for monstrous pastrami sandwiches and try the iconic New York style bagel-heard Absolute Bagels is good.

I’ve been visiting Lisbon for several years but somehow I never made it to Sintra for some reason. From all the advice I received from friends in Lisbon, its best to dedicate a day, an overnight stay, possibly 2 nights if you want to get to the best out of Sintra. In many cases, I feel like I’m being given a dreary monotonous history lesson which I could read in any guidebook. The tour beautifully named ‘Once Upon a Time in Fairytale Sintra’ offers you the chance to take in some of Sintra’s key highlights in a few hours with a few extras chucked in that include a trip to the westernly most point of Europe.

One of the fruits of my micro adventures across Latvia is this new little e-book: Latvia Itineraries which you can download today for free from the blog ( click on the image on the right hand side bar ) or via this link This by no means is a comprehensive guide to Latvia but a good taster of what you can expect from this beautiful country. There’s not a lot written about Latvia, especially of cities outside Riga so this e-book will help you plan your trip, especially if you’re planning to spend a few days outside of Riga. Latvia, changed my life and showed me so much: I hope this guide is the beginning of a great big Latvian adventure for you too.

One of the highlights of visiting the castle is paying a visit to the castle stables where you can book a creative workshop and learn everything from pottery to leather making, Baltic jewellery and also make the famous walking sticks which are symbol of the area. The Castle was made to resemble a mighty ship with the northern forecastle tower being the front part of the ship, the lofty main tower being the spar of the tallest part of the ship and the southern tower forming the ship’s rear. Hop to the top of the viewing platform of the Castle’s northern tower to obtain a bird’s eye view of the pretty Gauja Valley and the rest of the Museum Reserve, a large area which is dedicated to the preservation of some key sites and buildings of great archaeological and historical importance. On the way from Turaida to Krimulda make a stopover at Gutman’s Cave which has graffiti dating from the 17th century and is famous also for the legend of Rose of Turaida.
