A travel writer gets asked 'where's your favourite place on Earth' approximately 100 times a year.

My answer never changes.

Walking the newest section of the King Charles III path today. Beautiful day for it! Eastbourne to Hastings (second leg continues on to Rye).

Often the case with headlines, aye. The piece explores how Tui cancelled hols to a part of Finland due to lack of snow - a scientist from Uni of Lapland talks about forecasts for Rovaniemi by 2070 (30% of xmases without snow) and challenges including reindeer struggling to feed thru pack ice, etc.

Hi there - that looks like a lot of fun!

Did you read the article? Which part do you disagree with?

This natural spectacle easily trumps the northern lights (and you can see it in the UK) Somerset’s sunset starling murmuration may attract the crowds, but come at sunrise and you will have the spectacle all to yourself

After an hour of build-up, the chatter of half a million starlings had reached its crescendo.

I pulled my binoculars to my eyes and saw a motorway of starlings, whizzing from right to left just above the reeds.

The show was about to begin.

Yeah, about a million of them setting off for the day!

Yesterday morning, I went to the Somerset Levels 90 minutes before sunrise.

After the tempestuous weekend it was calm and clear. I waded through deep puddles accompanied by the hoots of a tawny owl, the whee-oo of widgeons, the squeal of a water rail.

And then, as if from nowhere, from the reeds:

Blue sky, pink clouds.

Lewes station this morning, with the lumps and bumps of the South Downs beyond.

Hey #travel nerds. Where are we looking at in this pic?

(Clue: it was taken in the evening.)

On your marks, get set...

Life in Bosham is governed by the tide. At low tide, an ice cream van emerges alongside the seaweed in Bosham Quay.

Then as the tide comes in, people travel about on kayaks and sailboats, while visitors enjoy fish and chips on the sea wall. #travel #sussex

I appreciate you Jack 🥰❣️

The money-saving hack that airlines hate So-called ‘skiplagging’ has risen in popularity, but airlines are doing everything they can to shut it down

A money-saving loophole known as “skiplagging”, the dark art of sneaking out of an airport before your ticketed journey is complete, is on the rise.

Airlines hate it, and passengers should be wary of it.

My explainer explains it all.

Here is a nice toadstool, spotted at Sheffield Park a few weeks ago.

Thanks! A few more where this came from...

I remember when Twitter was a genuinely exciting place for #travel journalists, film makers photographers (etc) to share their stories.

Wonder if we can recreate that over here?

On my part, I'll be sharing bits and bobs from my travels as a newspaper journalist / as a man of the South Downs. 🌄📷

No way! I really really liked it.

Was La Cabra (coffee) open when you lived there? Insanely good.

I visited the ‘happiest city in the world’ – here’s what I learnt Aarhus was recently named the happiest city in the world – it is likely to make visitors joyful, too

Aarhus was recently named the happiest place in the world / universe.

Could this possibly be true?

I paid a visit to find out 🇩🇰🌞 #travel

Did you know that Rome, right now, is one very big and very noisy building site as it prepares for the Jubilee Year?

I went last week on assignment. And I took lots of photos, but this was my favourite.

The drama, the romance, the passion, the pathos. Like a Roman tragedy in one frame.
