I don't think I've actually ever been to a French Restaurant before, so when I was asked if I fancied going to Cote Brasserie in Trinity Leeds to try their menu and write a review I was intrigued. I'd promised my friend Louisa for a while that next time I got a food review invite I'd bring her along, so we were pleased it was for somewhere fancy (and that we were able to pop to … [Read more...]
Deciding To Cancel A Trip
When you book a trip, you really look forward to it. You start to plan what you want to do at your destination, what you want to see, you buy the guide book and you make lists.

Being an ex trade union official, I've seen this SO MANY TIMES. … [Read more...]
But Laura, how DO you travel so much?
'But Laura, how DO you travel so much?' I'm always asked how I manage to do so many trips. People expect that I'm spending a fortune, that I have no annual leave left and that I'm probably in debt. Well-they couldn't be more wrong. I manage to do the trips I do without spending lots, and without using tons of holiday so I thought I'd share my tips with you guys. At the … [Read more...]
