Blair Castle • Scotland17 Sep 202400:43:46

Blair Castle is one of many castles in Scotland.

In fact there are so many castles that you may not be sure which ones are worth visiting and which ones are not.

My personal opinion is Blair Castle is worthy of some time.

This lovely castle is located in the village of Blair Atholl and sits just within Cairngorms National Park.

There is a lot of intriguing history — including some Queen Victoria stories, beautiful pieces of furniture and gorgeous plaster ceilings that wowed me.

Plus it has a magnificent garden that you'll want to wander through.

Tune in as we explore Blair Castle in Perthshire, Scotland.

Isle of Mull • Scotland03 Sep 202400:51:47

The Isle of Mull is a beautiful island off the west coast of Scotland.

Since it's not too difficult to get to, it is quite popular with both Scots and other visitors.

And I can see why.

It's a gorgeous Scottish island with a lot to see, do and experience.

The Isle of Mull is not always easy to get around.

But for those who come and explore, you'll be rewarded with wildlife, beaches, historical sites, mountains, good food and friendly people.

If you are looking for a peaceful island to experience some of the best of what Scotland has to offer, be sure to put Mull on your list.

Kilmartin Glen • Scotland05 Mar 202400:29:06

Kilmartin Glen is an amazing site in Scotland.

Yet it’s not a well known site with many travelers.

Which is too bad.

Because it's truly special.

Stone circles, burial cairns, standing stones as well as a sacred place to crown the King of Scotland.

Add in a very impressive and informative Visitor Center and Museum and Kilmartin Glen is one of the best sites in Scotland.

If you love ancient sites, then tune in to find out all about this fascinating place.

Umbria • Italy23 Jan 202400:47:21

Often overlooked by its more famous neighbor, the region of Umbria in Italy has a lot of the same treats as Tuscany.

But with fewer crowds.

Small towns with cobblestoned lanes.

Rolling green hills dotted with vineyards.

Delicious food and world class wine.

Gorgeous churches with incredible art and architecture.

Plus Umbria is a bit more mountainous so the scenery can be a bit more dramatic.

So if you're looking for a destination in Italy that is a bit different yet feels familiar, put Umbria on your list!

Don't forget to check out Wander Your Way Adventures. Our first tour takes place from June 16-28, 2024 and is called Marvels & Tastes of the Dolomites Italy. It's going to be an amazing trip!

Europe Travel Bucket List Revisit 202409 Jan 202400:39:46

Wander Your Way Adventures are here!
https://wanderyourwayadventures.com/tours/marvels-tastes-of-the-dolomites-italy/

The first small group tour happens June 16-28, 2024. And we're going to Alto Adige (South Tyrol) Italy! Wine, food, hiking, Novacella Abbey and the stunning Dolomite peaks. Hope to meet you there!


Do you have a travel bucket list?

Maybe you have a specific Europe travel bucket list?

I always have a list.

In fact, in February of 2023 I put out an episode about this very topic.

But things change.

So I think it's a good idea to revisit your Europe travel bucket list each year.

Maybe you actually were able to cross some places off your list.

Perhaps you've added some new destinations (of course you did!).

Maybe you've shuffled some spots around as certain places have become more of a priority.

Now I get it that some people don't like the idea of a "bucket list".

So maybe a better term is a "wish list".

Whatever you call it, I truly believe in dreaming big when it comes to travel.

You can make your travel dreams come true (and I can help)!

So what's on your Europe travel bucket list?

Send me a message at Lynne@WanderYourWay.com and let me know!

Stirling and Doune Castles • Scotland14 Nov 202300:45:25

Stirling Castle is a well known castle not far Edinburgh and Glasgow.

It's definitely on the tourist trail with good reason as it's an incredible site with lots of history.

And it was a very important castle in its heyday.

Nearby Doune Castle is less important.

Yet it still has some intriguing history.

And it has ties to a cult movie favorite — Monty Python's Holy Grail.

So if you like castles, of all sorts, then tune into this episode to learn more about these 2 amazing — yet very different — castles in central Scotland.

How does this sound?

Well if it sounds appealing then tune into this episode to learn more about the Scottish Borders.

Alpe di Siusi • Italy11 Jul 202300:46:59

The Alpe di Siusi — Seiser Alm in German — is a destination I've talked about before.

It's this incredible high alpine meadow in the Sudtirol province of northern Italy.

In this episode, I'm going to offer up some updates on this amazing destination as well as make a case for why you should stay a couple of nights in the Alpe di Siusi.

Because you can actually spend the night — or 2 or 3 — in this gorgeous piece of Italy.

And by spending the night you get to see the sun rise and set across some beautiful peaks and you may be able to tackle some of those tougher or longer trails.

It's really a very special and unique place to spend a few nights.

As we come to the end of the year, I like to look back at the year in Europe travel.

2022 was a bit crazy as many of us really began to travel more as the pandemic went into management mode.

So what will 2023 look like for Europe travel?

And how can you prepare for all that may come?

Tune into this episode as I reflect back on Europe travel in 2022.

And as I look ahead to what I think travel to Europe will look like in 2023.

I'll also offer up a few tips to help you plan for your European adventure in the new year.

County Mayo • Ireland29 Nov 202200:51:31

County Mayo is one of the best destinations in Ireland.

And it sees far less visitors than some of the other counties — which I think make it even better (fewer crowds!)

County Mayo has some charming villages with awesome pubs.

It has a national park — Wild Nephin & Ballycroy National Park — and a Dark Sky Park.

There are hills and peaks along with some peaty bogland.

The coastline is amazing with sandy beaches and sea cliffs.

And County Mayo has some incredible historical sites — from castles to the all important Céide Fields.

I love this county!

And I think you will too.

So tune in to find out about all the amazing things to do in this Irish county.

Lago d'Iseo • Italy01 Nov 202200:36:43

Known as the "romantic lake" Lago d'Iseo Italy is a beauty and worthy of that title.

While others may flock to Lago di Garda or Lago di Como, Lago d'Iseo sees fewer visitors.

It's smaller.

More intimate.

And gorgeous!

There are charming lakeside towns and villages to explore as well as lots to do in the great outdoors.

Lago d'Iseo also has something the other lakes don't — a beautiful island in the middle of it.

Yup.

This is a destination in northern Italy you'll want to put on your list.
