Lisbon is one of Europe’s leading capital cities and has grown considerably in the past few years as a real contender as a must see.

I travel to Lisbon every year as my family are originally from Portugal and even though I was born in the UK I absolutely adore my heritage and love going back.

I travelled to Jamaica with my husband and two small daughters (aged four and one).

Our first big holiday away since the girls were born, I was very apprehensive about how well they would be catered for but once in Jamaica there was ‘no problem’.

With a population of just 120,000 Cairns is a city set in the heart of North Queensland surrounded by lush tropical rainforests and the perfect base to explore the surrounding regions and the Great Barrier Reef.

Far North Queensland and Cairns is a destination that has something to offer every traveller and every budget whether your wallet is fat enough for a five star resort like the Hilton or Radisson or you’re on more of a Robinson Crusoe–type budget you’ll find Cairns is a city that caters for everyone.
