Visits to Prague and England

At the end of this month I will be visiting Prague in the Czech republic. I am very excited at the thought of visiting this wonderful city. I have wanted to visit Prague for many years, since I first discovered fabulous pictures of the magnificent buildings on the internet. I will be travelling with my husband, who is a professional digital photographer. With his images and my words we hope to capture some of the bohemian atmosphere of this marvellous place. We will visit the restaurants, from the five star splendours to the little backstreet local shops. We will explore the Jewish quarter, and I will try to capture the story the locals tell of the Golem. We will sit with the local characters sipping coffee in Wencelas square and soak in the atmosphere as the people walk past. We will try to capture the essence of Prague so we can share it with you. From Prague we move on to travelling around England. We will visit the North of England first, then slowly make our way South to catch our flight from London back to Athens. We are travelling in the winter months of course, so have to fly back to our home in Corfu via Athens. There are no direct flights in the winter months. We will stay with family and friends sometimes, and at other times in a caravan, in a bed and breakfast, and in a hotel. We will travel by plane, bus, train, car and no doubt, on our own tired feet. No doubt our experiences will be funny, sad, chaotic and unusual if past experiences are anything to go by! Watch this space!

Travel destinations needed for review in 2008

Hello Thank you for visiting my blog. I am looking for interesting and unusual travel destinations to revue in 2008. I am fully booked for 2007 with visits and writing contracts, but I am now planning visits for 2008. Please contact me with full details of your destination and tell me if a comped /discounted visit would be possible. I would be travelling with a professional digital photographer. Please note that I live in Greece, which is central for travelling in Europe. Longer trips, ie to America, take more time to arrange because of work schedules. I can be contacted at jjdarbey@gmail.com. If you wish to speak to me by telephone please contact me by email first and I will send you contact details.

Travel writing will never be the same again!

Welcome to my revamped blog. Travel writing may never be the same again! I have decided to change the way that I use this site to talk about places to go and what to do when you get there. The internet has evolved so much since I did my first articles and blogs, that I felt it was time for a radical change to my sites. The internet is now much more user friendly, and millions of ordinary people use it as a source of communication. The internet makes it easy to search for information about just about anything. More importantly, the net makes it possible for me to give you insider information about destinations that only a local could possess. In the coming months I will be using this blogsite, along with its sister site http://www.talkingtraveller.blogspot.com to feature my new travels. This site will feature unusual places to go, with interesting things to do, and fascinating new experiences. It will also feature links to places and people that I recommend to you. The Talkingtraveller site will have features and articles, along with photographs, of the places I visit, and some of the characters I meet up with. This site will also feature stories and events that take place in my home village of Sinarades in Corfu. Thank you so much for your comments and encouragement in the past. Hope you like the new websites.
