What’s your latest travel discovery? We fell in love with the gorgeous island of Gozo on our recent trip so this week I’m sharing my guide to the best things to see and do on the island.
It’s a half-term school holiday for lots of us next week so we’ll be taking a break from Faraway Files while we all go off exploring. You can find out which exciting places we’re going to by following along with us on Instagram.
One of my favourite ways to spend a few hours is visiting an art exhibition and then treating myself to coffee and cake in a nearby café. Cultural Wednesday’s post about Culture, Coffee and Cake could have been written just for me. Catherine wrote about some of her favourite museums in London and told us where to find the best cafés for afterwards.
My son and I treated ourselves to lots of cake and culture when we visited Amsterdam earlier this year. After all, who can resist Van Gogh’s Sunflowers and pancakes all in the same day? But now I want to visit the Hague after reading Your Dutch Guide‘s great post. In 24 hours we could see Vermeer’s The Girl with a Pearl Earring, take a boat trip down a canal and even go to the beach!
I was equally as excited when I read Amy and the Great World’s wonderful post about Lake Bled in the Autumn. Amy’s photos of the lake and its surroundings are just magical. I felt inspired enough to start looking at flights to Slovenia straight away.
Welcome to Faraway Files, the travel link up hosted by Katy from Untold Morsels, Erin from Oregon Girl around the World and Clare from Suitcases and Sandcastles.
This is the place to link up your travel posts every Thursday. Faraway Files is a weekly file of the best travel ideas on the web. We want to dream of faraway places, to make new travel plans and share our travel secrets. Inspire us to travel to places we’ve never considered before or revisit a place we thought we knew. We know that you can feel faraway even when you’re close to home so share your experiences of travels near and far wherever you are in the world.
So let’s inspire and share each other’s posts. All three of us will try to read and comment on every post and we’ll share them on social media too. Each week we’ll choose our favourites and highlight them on our blogs and social media channels using #FarawayFiles.
How it works:
- Link up one travel-related post and add the Faraway Files badge onto the post or your blog (code below) or link back to the hosts.
- The link up will go live every Thursday at 8am, UK time, until midnight on Friday. It will alternate between Untold Morsels, Suitcases and Sandcastles and Oregon Girl around the World. This week’s link up is right here.
- Link ups work best if everyone shares so please comment on all three of the hosts’ posts and at least one other.
- Tweet us your posts (@suitandsand, @UntoldMorsels, @oregongirlworld) using the hashtag #FarawayFiles and we’ll retweet to our followers.
- Love Instagram? Share your favourite photos from your posts with us, tagging #FarawayFiles and we’ll add our favourites to our Faraway Files Instagram feed.
- Check out our Faraway Files Facebook page too.
