The writers and editors at World Words are seasoned travellers, yet the thrill of planning and embarking on a trip remains as exciting as ever. With that wanderlust constantly burning, we thought we’d create a space where our writers can share their experiences and discoveries, travels and trips with our audience. We call it… Our Travels.

We are a wonderfully mixed bunch with a common passion. We might travel alone, with a few friends or with our families. We might venture to intrepid, far flung locations or tootle down the road to see what’s on our doorstep. This month, World Words writer Samantha Wilson tell us of her most recent mini-break to the Province of Girona, Spain; an experience that she shared with her husband and her baby daughter. You can read all about it below…

First, we took you to the remote chilly outcrop of Isle of Harris, Scotland. Then we experienced the Mediterranean charms of Corsica, France. Next, cultural Quebec, Canada and fun Dubai, UAE. Now, for our fifth and final (in 2016) Our Travels blog, we are heading back to Europe to the far northern hotspot of Reykjavik and Southwest Iceland.

Our editor-in-chief Joe recently visited Iceland on long weekend break, staying in the small town of Hafnarfjordur, just outside Reykjavik, and exploring the southwestern corner of the island. Scroll on down to read his thoughts…

The Black Forest to Southern Chile: Even More New Destination Guides for Expedia

Posted on by

A couple of weeks ago, on this very blog, we revealed that we’d had brand new destination guides published by Expedia. What’s more, we gave you previews of three of these published pieces: Southwest Washington, Western Nicaragua and the Isle of Skye. The truth is, we’ve been writing literally hundreds of new guides for Expedia over the last few months, so on reflection, we feel we shortchanged you. Therefore, we’ve decided to add a few more.

Take a look below and you will find three more brand new Expedia destination guides written by the World Words team. The geographical spread of these is just as stark as our previous selection, taking us everywhere from the heart of Germany’s Black Forest in Europe to the south of Chile in Central America. So scroll down to take a look.

Washington to the Isle of Skye: An Entire World of Destination Guides for Expedia

Posted on by

As regular readers of the blog will know, we write a lot of destination guides for Expedia. And we mean A LOT. We have written about all four corners of the globe for this leading online travel company, whether it is Genoa in Italy or St Louis, Missouri in the US. In fact, just take a look through this project list for Expedia and you will find dozens of travel guides stretching back more than three-and-a-half years. And those guides are just the tip of the iceberg.

However, it’s been a while since our last set of guides for Expedia, so we are delighted to reveal that a whole new batch have just been published. These are spread far and wide, from tiny Scottish islands to vast American states. We’ve included extracts from three of these recently-published travel guides below, so scroll down to take a look.
