Jet-setter slogans
Can you guess which country’s tourism slogan is ‘Where happiness finds you’? If not, you can find out whose it is, plus every other tourism slogan on a world map created by UK website Family Break Finder.
Beyond our own ‘100% Pure’, there’s El Salvador’s ‘The 45 minute country’ or Morrocco’s ‘Much mor’.
(The answer is Fiji, by the way.)
Dinner with a difference
An invitation to dine with locals is on offer from tour organiser Trafalgar.
With a Be My Guest experience, you can have dinner on a reindeer farm in Finland, or perhaps you’d prefer afternoon tea in a 16th-century Irish home?
If you want to travel as a local, it’s the way to go. www.trafalgar.com
Back to basics
For a bit of peace of mind on your holiday, you could start using a RiutBag. A backpack with a twist, the zips are reversed so they are against your back, making it hard for you to be pick-pocketed.
With the bags starting at $51, it’s a great investment for your next trip. www.riut.co.uk
New city, new friends
If you’re a solo traveller and organised group tours aren’t your thing, why not do a spontaneous guided tour?
An app called Travel Guide Finder allows you to check in to a tourist site; find travel buddies to explore with you, or even find a professional tour guide to take you around. www.travelguidefinder.com.
