Here are my top 5 places I would love to visit and explore, either solo travel or backpacking with a friend. So here it goes... I have always wanted to visit New Zealand ever since I was little, and my brother and I have tried to persuade my parents endlessly to take us, but it…

It forms a peninsula encompassing wild moorland, sandy beaches and picturesque harbour villages such as Porthleven where we based ourselves for the week. Nowhere else in Britain quite captures breathtaking natural beauty like this sunny county on the…
