For me, holidays are all about the great outdoors. If i'm on a city break I love to head out and walk the streets, investigating all the cool spots I see along the way. And if I head out into the countryside or out to the coast there's no stopping me. I'll try my hand at all sports and have a passion for surfing and snowboarding - so I love to keep my eye on all of the dealchecker ski deals! I also love planning a holiday around a cool event, like when I went to Salzburg and headed up into the Alps for a music festival at the Salzburgring, it makes your trip really memorable.

UK BREAKS

I'm pretty passionate about going on holiday in the UK, there's so many cool places to go - just always take a brolly! From walking in the Lakes to beautiful gardens in Cornwall and wandering the streets of cities like Bristol and Lincoln I love them all!

SPORTY HOLIDAYS

I love lying on a sunlounger as much as the next girl but I love my sport too - watching and doing. Whether it's watching football at the Nou Camp or surfing my way around Morocco there's nothing more relaxing in my book.

SKI HOLIDAYS

The stunning views, the physical challenge and stopping off in the cosy little mountain top cafes for a winter warmer is what it's all about - that and getting a great deal! Ski holidays can be so expensive!

TRAVEL TIP - "Do your research in advance and always take a map!"

A lovely two weeks in Devon eating too many cream teas.

BEST HOLIDAY

A really fun holiday that started in Amsterdam and then ended up at a festival in the Austrian Alps just outside Salzburg.

DREAM HOLIDAY

Every time I see offers on holidays in the Maldives I'm very, very tempted.

TRAVEL NIGHTMARE

When we went by plane for a surfing holiday in Morocco we had to watch all the baggage handlers throw our (expensive and delicate) boards around! It was totally horrible but luckily they all got there by-and-large unscathed.

SUNLOUNGER OR ALWAYS ON THE GO?

I think you have to mix it up, it's nice to do nothing and just relax but I also want to feel like I've done something with my holiday!

WHAT'S A GREAT DEAL FOR YOU?

Getting the absolute most out of my budget and having a fab time doing it.

WHERE IN THE WORLD IS THE BEST FOOD?

When we were road tripping through Portugal we ate delicious meals for really cheap prices everywhere we stopped.
