Discover some of her hidden treasures & seek out experiences...
2020 - 2027
Six years of very, very slow and immersive travel, painfully slow & on a shoe string & 50% by public transport, bus/train/foot.
In my home country, England, the country where I was born, have a British birth certificate and a British passport and a National Insurance number.
Ever heard of national service - I've just done more than my share, and some!
Due to the forced sale of my two bedroom apartment with a little sweet garden, landscaped by myself - my home (rsa insurance followed by covid) I have been able to uncover some treasures - here are some of my favourites so far...
Founder & visionary & director of yours to experience Ltd 2016 - current year which is 2026 - still here.
Previously - head of a2btravelextras.com & co founder &

St Botolph's, a parish church at the heart of the ancient university city of Cambridge. There has been a church here since the time of the ancient Trumpington Gate, and appropriately for a church dedicated to a patron saint of travellers it welcomes many thousands of visitors each year to admire its beautiful 700 year old building enriched by some fine Victorian decoration.
Queens College - famous for ancient buildings and a riverside site; if you visit, you’ll see that the College has evolved throughout its six centuries and that Queens’ as a place and as a community is very much engaged with the present and looking to the future.
Why not have your photograph taken by the Mathematical Bridge or enjoy a punt ride.

Fancy a challenge?
The Thames Path is a long distance walking trail, following England’s best known river for 185.2miles (298 km) as it meanders from its source in the Cotswolds through several rural counties and on into the heart of London. On its way the Trail passes peaceful water meadows rich in wildlife, historic towns and cities and many lovely villages, finishing in Woolwich just a few miles from the sea.
Please note: I only walked a small part of the Thames Path - Shepperton - Weybridge - Walton BUT still magic - met with Egyptian Geese family, eight goslings.
Allow half a day and don't forget to stop off at either the local pub or coffee shop, you've earned it!. You can always loop back around by crossing the Thames via a short boat ride :-)
How lucky am I to also capture a pair of black swans (Cygnus atratus) in flight coming down to land on the water - the river was branching into two and one of the swans went the other way so once he had landed he had to turn around to find his mate!

Fish and Chips
Recommend a local fish and chip shop in the area you are visiting to really get to know the local friendly people. A great way to fill yourself up and feel part of the local community.
Check out the specials board.
A selection of great fish and chip shops I visited include: Farncombe (one of my favourites) Midhurst, Chertsey (another one of my favourites)
Old Woking, Selsey, East Wittering - shack by the sea and the Hand & Spear, Weybridge for a great pub version of fish and chips or check out Crown & Anchor, Dell Quay, Birdham - outside in the summer - sooooo good, atmosphere amazing :-) and views spectacular.
