About us . . .

Hi, I’m Tom, author of the articles on All Points to Travel. My partner Chenai and I love to travel together. Chenai features in a lot more of the photos than me, as she is about 600% more photogenic! We may even feature some articles about Chenai’s vacation style and outfits in the future.

Together we have been exploring as often as we can afford to and find the time to do. We love taking mini-breaks in Europe, and further afield if and when we can. We also love to be out and about in the UK, and have days out and weekend breaks as often as we can. We’ll report on some more of these and do some UK hotel reviews as the blog grows.

We prefer to book flights and accommodation as separate entities, and we prefer independently run accommodation in the main. We love a bit of luxury if the budget permits!

We are quite aware of the impact of short term lets on local people, driving up their rents as more and more of the local housing stock is taken up. For that reason, we tend to stay in hotels as opposed to AirBnB or short term lets. We will only post articles on hotels that we would personally recommend, where we ourselves have had a top notch experience.

Sometimes the best thing about a trip is just walking around taking in the general atmosphere and beauty of a place, perhaps popping into little cafes or boutique shops here and there. I hope that the posts will capture and reflect on this rather than just being run downs of the usual “must sees” from the Trip Advisor top ten. I want to try and capture the feeling of our trips as best I can in my own words, hence I do not use AI to write any of this blog.
