When the world is your oyster there really is a no end to all the places you could travel to for exploring or for a holiday. The problem is how do you decide where to go, and when? Something that I’ve never been brave enough to do is book a ‘mystery holiday’ but it really… Read More
We stayed at YHA Canterbury in one of their cosy wooden lodges. We explored Canterbury town, the Christmas markets and the local woodland. It was the perfect base!
