World First Travel Insurance Blog - For The Most Comprehensive Travel Insurance Around
Festivals! Can you survive them?
Welcome to another installment of the World First Wander, our weekly look at what’s hot in travel writing and blogging. This week we are going to take a look at festivals, man’s best friend, last minute deals and Tenerife on a budget.
With Glastonbury only a few weeks away I thought we would start off this week with a few festival tips. Love them or hate them, festival season is upon us so it’s only right that we should pass on a few survival tips. One travel blogger who loves a festival is Vicky Flip Flop so we begin with her 7 Glastonbury essentials you haven’t thought of yet. If you are lucky enough to bag a ticket for the world’s greatest rock festival then these tips will see you right. Especially the one about the tent kite.
Fancy a festival but not sure which one to go for? We found something that should be useful. The handy Festival Value Chart may help you decide as it works out how much it would cost to see all the headliners individually versus the cost of a festival ticket. It’s a great idea. Have a look here.
If music isn’t really your thing then maybe getting stuck into a great book is. So how about some holiday reading inspiration? And by that we don’t mean recommendations of books. We’re talking about The London Short Story Festival on the Londonist website. A different kind of festival!
Glamping next. It divides opinion here at World First. Personally I like to rough it and in the past have been known to not even bother with a tent. However, other members of the team have said they think that Glamping is the way to go. Hence inclusion of Travel Candy’s A Glamping Weekend in Hay on Wye . Doesn’t look too shabby, does it?
Dogs next. It’s true a dog is man’s best friend. Mine, a crazy sheepdog named Bo, is sitting at my feet as I type and she follows me everywhere. But going on holiday with a pet isn’t always so easy. Finding accommodation that accepts dogs (or cats or parrots for that matter) can be a tough one. So, for all of you with similar issues, here’s a blog all about 50 dog friendly holidays in the UK from the ever useful and informative Feet on the ground, a great site dedicated to travellers who don’t want to fly.
During the last few weeks there seem to have been a lot of status updates relating to last minute holidays. I shan’t be going anywhere is a hurry now that I am Dad to a freshly minted 10 day old baby girl, but, if you can, it’s a great way to get great deals. You’ll even save on your Last Minute travel insurance when you book it through World First. We don’t include cancellation cover, which makes it much cheaper than your average policy. Worth bearing in mind when you read the next article, a little something from the Mirror website. Check out 6 hacks to find cheap last minute holiday deals to Spain, Greece and Europe then give us a call!
If there’s one travel blogger who knows a thing or two about saving money it’s Budget Traveller. Check out his 5 tips to enjoy Tenerife on a budget is perfect if you are counting the pennies.
That’s it for this week. Until next time.
