Self Catering Travel

We wish that we could travel more than we do. For those people who have never left the country it is something they long to do, while for those people who have travelled and even do so regularly, they still wish that they could see or do even more. This is not about being ungrateful for what you are able to do; it is just that you might have the travel bug.

This is not a real disease that is brought about by germs; it is an excitement that is brought about by the discovery of new and different things. Once you have the travel bug it means that while you may love being at home, it also means that you are planning your next trip a day or two after you get back from the last one.

It also, of course, means that you want to be able to travel relatively cheaply so that you can keep travelling and exploring. Hotels can be very expensive, as any seasoned traveller knows. But there are such things as self catering cottages with hot tub.

While staying in an hostel or backpackers is fun when you're younger, they lose some of their appeal as we get older. Maybe it's the bunk beds or the communal bathrooms, who knows.

But there is a great alternative and that is self catering. You find an apartment or a cottage and you fend for yourself.
