Planning Travels

Welcome to Travels Thought Out; a place to read, discuss and ask for help with your travel ideas. I share my thoughts and inspiration on travel, through my blog and third party links.

The content here is free, impartial and not sponsored.  If you would like to support travelsthoughtout, any contributions via the Support Button at the top of the screen are very much appreciated.

If you have any ideas, questions or requests, please get in touch via this email.

The aim of the blog is to offer a slightly different, perhaps quirky perspective on travel.  Ultimately I hope you find it is useful, entertaining and interesting. I love to travel when I can, but I also love to plan, travel vicariously, research and learn. Sometimes this turns into real travel and sometimes it does not.

Please feel free to contact me, or there is an option to leave a comment after each blog.
