My Favourite Travel Spots & Experiences | Culinary Travels

Travel may be difficult right now, but that doesn’t stop us from dreaming about new adventures and favourite destinations around the world.

 

Another blogger recently challenged me to answer some questions about my past, present, and future travels — so let’s dive in!

 

My Favourite Travel Spot in the World

My absolute favourite spot is The English Market in Cork. Not just a place to shop, it’s a feast for the senses.

Mostly local produce is sold by friendly staff, often from family-run stalls that have been around for generations.

Stop by the Farmgate Cafe for tea or a bite. Sit on the balcony to watch shoppers, listen to the rapid Hiberno-English dialect, and soak up the vibrant local atmosphere.

 

My Favourite Travel Country and City

After exploring many regions, I’ve fallen in love with Italy. The food, culture, and language are irresistible.

For a city, nothing beats Cork, Ireland. It has a thriving food scene, historic sites, and beautiful nearby beaches.

If I Could Move to a City Permanently

It would be Cork. Permanent? That’s the dream!

 

My Career and Work in Cork

I’d likely continue my career as a Nurse, likely in emergency medicine. But if I could dream, I’d turn my blog and freelancing into a full-time gig.

My First Travel Experience

The first country I remember visiting was Mallorca, Spain. Sunny days, beach play, and delicious food left lasting memories.

 

Favourite Seasons and Travel Destinations

Spring: Murcia, Spain
Summer: Norfolk, UK
Autumn: Cornwall, UK
Winter: Rome, Italy

 

Places I Avoid

Areas affected by war or unrest are not safe for travel. Safety always comes first when planning trips.

 

Worst Travel Experience

Aberystwyth, Wales, during a school field trip in winter. Cold, wet, and hunting marine wildlife in rock pools made it memorable for all the wrong reasons!

 

Best Travel Experience

An Italian road trip from Rome to Orvieto, Umbria, exploring small towns along the breathtaking countryside, and childhood trips to Florida, including Disney World and the Keys.

 

All-Time Dream Destination

One destination: Borneo. I’d love to volunteer at an orangutan sanctuary and explore tropical landscapes.
