10 Enchanting Weekend & Day Trips from Graz, Austria

Image
This guide to weekend and day trips from Graz was produced in collaboration with Visit Graz and Visit South Styria, who hosted me on this trip as part of Propel Conference by Captivate. All wine-induced ramblings however are my own. As an avid city breaker who has darted frenetically around Europe for the past five years, I always get this warm giddy feeling when I have the opportunity to explore a place I know literally nothing about. After all, there’s a certain monotony to well-treaded destinations. Hopping from sight to sight (all of which you’ve encountered relentlessly on Instagram and Pinterest) can start to feel uninspired at best, and boring at worst. So when I boarded my flight to Graz for the Propel Conference, I admit I dove in blindly, with zero expectations or clue what I would find. Little did I know, Styria would bust out of all of the following in its bottomless bag of tricks: the world’s tallest underground slide, an alien-shaped art museum, an A...

Road tripping Dorset’s Jurassic Coast

Road tripping Dorset’s Jurassic Coast UK | Europe Travel Guides Published: June 2018 I might be biased, but the coast in Dorset is one of the best places you can visit in England, and indeed the UK. Being my childhood home, I’m ashamed to say it took me nearly 30-years to drive the Jurassic Coast but it was well worth the wait. From pre-historic history to beaches you won’t believe exist in Great Britain, this is one road trip you have to do when you visit the UK. The Jurrasic Coast gets it name thanks to the millions of years of history imprinted into the towering cliffs along the coastline. Even now you can still find pre-historic fossils taking a stroll along the beach and just recently fossils from mammals dating back 145-million years were discovered. Beyond that, the perfect ocean waters, cute pubs, fish and chips and fresh air hikes make this an ideal 3-day or even one week escape into the south of England. The colourful reflections of Weymouth canal ...

Vineyards, Relaxation and Star Gazing: A weekend in Alentejo, Portugal

Vineyards, Relaxation and Star Gazing: A weekend in Alentejo, Portugal Portugal | Europe Published: May 2018 | Partner content produced on assignment with Lonely Planet + Booking.com In south-central Portugal, to the right of show-stealing Lisbon and above the summertime fun of the Algarve, the underrated and understated Alentejo region packs a punch. Technically two regions, Alto and Baixo translating to higher and lower, The Alentejo is awash with Roman and Moorish history, designated dark sky star-gazing reserves and countless grapes hanging from vines ready to be turned into one of Portugals greatest exports, and my favourite refreshment, wine. The visitor count might not be as high here as other parts of the country, but that is very much its charm. Cruising along a near-empty motorway for a weekend escape, the rolling green countryside of vineyards with the odd castle provided a refreshing vacation from the bustle of the city. I was on a mission to unearth a unique plac...
