How to use your Explorer Cards on a Staycation...

Sometimes we get asked whether the Explorer Cards are still suitable if you're staying in the UK (or your home country), rather than going abroad.

The answer is Yes!

In fact, last year whilst I was quarantining with my family, you guys challenged me to a card a day, and I was able to adapt all the prompts to our home & garden. Imagine how much scope there is when you're actually allowed into the real world!

Here are some tips to make this easy for you to enjoy on your days out and about:

🪁 Scan through them before heading out for the day; some will jump out at you (like scavenger hunts & photo safaris) as being extremely easy to enjoy anywhere

🪁 Pay attention to the titles on the cards. Some of them have recommendations, such as: "perfect for museum days" or "perfect for city sightseeing"

🪁 Use your imagination. The cards aren't just fun for youngsters. Let your own inner child out to play to find the fun in every day and be inventive in how you apply some or all of a particular prompt to your day out.

Most of all, have fun!

Happy Adventuring!

🇫🇷 Everything you need to know about travelling to France in 2022 ❤️⁠
⁠
It's our first official and I'm talking you through the four 4️⃣things you need to know if you're planning a trip to France in 2022. ⁠
⁠
Save this post for quick reference, and head to our latest blog post (link in bio) for the full low-down.⁠
⁠
1️⃣ Before you go - Make sure you're fully vaccinated (this includes a booster shot); take an antigen test not more than 24 hours prior to arrival; get all your paperwork in order - this includes a "declaration of honour" which you need to sign and confirm you do not have any symptoms of C-19.⁠
⁠
2️⃣ On Arrival - Don't forget about Brexit! You'll need 3- 6 months left on your passport, proof of a return ticket and possibly proof of accommodation. Keep your Declaration of Honour with you too. ⁠
⁠
3️⃣ Out & About - In France, a mask is not a mask is not a mask. Handmade masks are out; "Category 1" or surgical masks are in. Social distancing strictly applies. You'll need to book time slots for entry into galleries and museums, plus have your "Pass Vaccinal" at the ready (your NHS app showing vaccination will do).⁠
⁠
4️⃣ If you're returning before the 11th Feb you'll need to take another test coming back into the UK. You can book this at the same time as your pre-departure test. ⁠
⁠

It's my birthday! I'm turning 29 in Paris! 🙈

To celebrate with you all, I'm running a site-wide 10% off sale for today only.

That's the equivalent of free UK shipping ⭐

Does anyone else have a birthday today?

"None of the great Parisian cultural figures - around whom many trips to Paris revolve - went there on holiday. They were writing, thinking and painting in the place they happened to live. They were interested in things - the beauty of ordinary objects, the meaning of life, memories - that don't belong to any one particular place. Perhaps the ideal outcome of two days in Paris is the realisation that we don't need to visit Paris at all".

If you're someone who loves to reflect and think more deeply about life, you will absolutely love the "How To Travel" collection of mini-essays I am proud to stock.

I am a classic case of travelling to Paris to follow in the hallowed footsteps of the artists, intellectuals and writers, in particular, whom I admire. But, as the piece on "How to spend a few days in Paris" points out, the art is found within us by dint of our powers of mindful observation and being present in the life we are leading, not by heading out on a pilgrimage in the hope of an epiphany.

I will forever travel in the rich pursuit of personal growth. But if the last two years have shown us anything, it's that to be a traveller is to be a seeker, and that is a lens that can be worn in the details of daily life, even if it takes more conscious application than when the world around us is new and different.

The rugby fans among you will know that the Six Nations are beginning today! 🏉 With travel to international games not on the cards as it usually is, a Rome City Break might help you pretend you're heading to the Stadio Olimpico to cheer your team on...

Are you going away soon?⁠
⁠
My sister and I are (hopefully!) going on an adventure tomorrow morning... Cvid test pending 😅⁠
⁠
We've been busy planning our trip with the fabulous app (not affiliated - just think they're great!)⁠

📌 Save this post for Feb Half Term!

Here’s a mini roundup of three of my favourite Explorer Cards, perfect for a City Break with little adventurers over the February half term.

1️⃣ Safety first! This Daily Mission card makes sure you establish personal safety rules that set them up for life, whilst including your youngsters and making them feel like respected contributors.

2️⃣ Chatty kids will love this one, and shy children will benefit from the manageable challenge. Bonus points if they can pluck up the courage to repeat a new phrase in the local language.

3️⃣ This is one of my all-time favourites. As well as sparking lots of fun conversations and serving as a unique souvenir, it also encourages your child’s critical thinking skills 💡

Would your children enjoy these? Let me know!

Who else loves unwrapping something pretty? 💕

Happy Lunar New Year to all who celebrate! 🌟🐅

In 2022 we're heading into the Year of the Water Tiger, which promises big leaps forward, creativity, and passion, albeit with some emotional ups & downs...

Even though I'm a Rooster, apparently the Tiger aligns most closely with Aquarian energy in the Western Zodiac, which is my star sign... so fingers crossed for great adventures this year 😉

What's your Chinese Zodiac sign?

If you could take any of your friends on holiday right now, who would you go with and where would you be jetting off to? 🤩 Tell us in the comments 👇🏽

We heard the other day that one of our lovely customers was sending a holiday in a box to one of her travel besties because it's been too long since they'd been able to explore the world together!

With Galentine's just around the corner, how about sending your girls a holiday in a box?

Yesterday was Holocaust Memorial Day.

It honours the memory of all those lost in the N**i genocide and persecution of the Jewish People in the 1920s and 1930s.

In recent decades it has also come to embrace the memory of those who perished in the genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Dafur.

It is an opportunity to remember that peace must be vigilant, and that atrocities begin with the dehumanisation of the "other".

Encouraging the exchange of cultures, providing opportunities to learn from and about each other, and not turning away from difficult truths are all part of the process of prevention and reconciliation, and they are not always easy.

Engaging in travel that is mindful & respectful of context is one small, but powerful, way to be part of writing a better story for humanity.

We don't travel for social media. We travel for the love of each other.
