People often ask me, “What have you learnt during your travels?’
‘Don’t bungee jump with your false eye in!’ is my usual response.
Below we have put together some serious and somewhat less serious travel tips and advice that we hope you find of interest.
In our blogs we will try and avoid too much nanny advice as we are sure you are all old enough to know better than to take a selfie with a polar bear, that sunburn is unpleasant and of course that it is a stupid idea to dine on oysters before a long-haul flight!
The following page contains a collection of blogs dealing with travel technology, tips, health and insurance advice, we can pass on; skewed towards the visually disabled traveller and their sighted companion.
