A year ago today, I jetted off to Los Angeles, surely the most glamorous city in the United States.

Here’s the top spots I recommend for when you visit, which will no doubt add lots of sparkle to your Insta feed!

How COVID-19 has changed the urban landscape

How COVID-19 has changed the urban landscape

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected everyone and everything, including quickly changing the way cities now look and operate.

In London, as in many cities around the world, health protection has been built into the urban landscape, in order for day-to-day activities to resume safely. Whilst tourist numbers are down in London, those who do come can be reassured by the safety measures in place.

This photo blog portrays some of the initiatives that have been adopted in the capital, including widened pavements to enable social distancing, hand sanitisers in key locations such as Piccadilly Circus, and clear signs and road markings to remind people on how to prevent the virus from spreading.

Create the perfect travel itinerary

Create the perfect travel itinerary

It’s always a good idea to have a travel itinerary for any adventure. Having an itinerary means you won’t be spending hours in your hotel room trying to think about what to do for the day, as everything would have been planned in advance.

I often get asked how I plan my trips – including how I manage to fit in visiting lots of places into a day, to how I choose restaurants and modes of transport.

For any adventure abroad, I always create a travel itinerary to ensure I visit the best places and maximise the amount of time whilst on holiday. In this blog post, I’m going to show you how to create the perfect itinerary, with a recent example I did for Toronto, so you can make the most of your future city breaks!
