eSIM technology promises to do away with the headaches of using your smartphone for international travel, amongst other things. I'm going to cover everything you need to know about eSIMs so you can decide if it’s a good fit for you.

Whether you want to buy something awesome that your boyfriend or husband will fall in love with at once, or you’re looking to impress your dad and get him that cool travel backpack he always wanted, you have a lot of options at your disposal.

There’s fashionably late… and then there’s this! 2019 was a big travel year for me, and after the last 12 months that feels like a lifetime ago. Now seemed like a good time for reflection, so I filtered through 30,000 images from across 11 countries to bring you my favourites. While easy travel might still be a little while away, I hope you find some inspiration from these images.

Whew, that was a doozy! 2020 wasn’t easy for most of us - especially in the travel industry. We started this turbulent 12 months in Bali, followed by a trip to Malaysia that got drawn out due to travel restrictions. After March all the plans were thrown out the window. So we made lemonade from the lemons and extensively explored the tropical island of Langkawi, which produced dozens of pages of content on foreverbreak.com.

I put interesting and relevant products to the test so you know what you can trust on your next trip.

FlyLine is a new subscription-based service to give you access to GDS wholesale rates for flights. While this is ideal for frequent travellers, even if you only go on one or two big trips per year, it can still pay itself off several times over.

House sitting is the best way I've found to explore wonderful places like a local, while spending quality time with adorable pets. My favourite service is TrustedHousesitters – the world’s largest community of pet owners and house sitters. I’ll give you all the tips you need to find and score the best house sits so you can share puppy cuddles or cat kisses and travel on a shoestring budget.

Cold hard fact. Mental barriers aside, the only thing between you and your next dream destination is one flight, and a pocket full of cash. Another cold hard fact. Finding a cheap flight is damn hard work. I came across a convenient service that takes the pain out of finding mistake fares and super cheap deals from airlines.

Along my journey I meet lots of fascinating folks. This section of the website features stories from other people that we think you'll find interesting. I love learning from their experiences and this is my chance to share those with you.

There are many idiosyncrasies in the French language. Although it is one of the easiest languages for English-speakers to learn, there are some strange discoveries you will come across that may stop you in your tracks. These go beyond the well-known fact that you have to learn to leave out half the letters when you read the language.

For many people, planning a vacation is one of the great parts of traveling. This is especially true when there is an extended vacation on the horizon. Having the opportunity to take an extended vacation is very exciting, but the longer the trip, the more carefully one has to pay attention to the budget.

France’s Vallée de la Gastronomie is without a doubt one of the most relaxing, pleasant and uniquely French areas of the country that food-lovers can visit.
