Hello there, thank you for visiting Travel Jems.

Here’s a little bit about me:

I’m a Northumbrian born and bred and still live in the North East on Wearside. I feel very lucky to live so close to great beaches, countryside and cities. I adore the North East and the UK  but I’m also passionate about exploring the rest of the world.

I absolutely love to travel! on land holidays, cruises, short breaks and for great days out…and I love hearing other peoples experiences and sharing my own. My sense of adventure has lead me to some amazing places both abroad and nearer home. I love planning where to visit next and there’s always somewhere new to explore. Advances in travel over the decades have made the world more accessible than ever before.

We’re lucky in the 21st century to have so much information at our fingertips to find out what’s on, what’s new or plan a dream holiday however, too much information can also make it difficult to decide! therefore you cannot under estimate the power of a great recommendation.

Travel Jems will bring you inspirational features on places I’ve visited abroad, in the UK and the North East along with great events, places to eat, things to do, what to wear, great deals and loads more…and I’ll be throwing in the odd competition here and there too.

June xx
