Welcome to Little Miss Gem Travels
Little Miss Gem Travels is my small corner of the internet dedicated to helping you see the world whilst holding down a full time job.
Travel is my passion but instead of packing my life into a backpack and heading off around the world I spend as much of my spare time as possible escaping for day trips, weekend breaks, short getaways and the occasional longer trip, travelling further afield in order to see more of the world.
It took a long time for me to be bitten by the travel bug, in fact I was 30, but when it finally did happen I decided to make it a priority. I suddenly had an overwhelming urge to travel and see as much of the world as possible, but instead of quitting my job and packing my life into a backpack I decided to take it slowly, to enjoy my travels more by taking trips intermittently throughout the year.
On this blog you will travel with me, on day trips, weekend getaways and slightly longer trips to destinations that have fascinated and inspired me. I will be staying in family run B&Bs and quirky hotels, eating delicious and unusual foods, wandering unfamiliar streets, exploring villages, towns, cities and walking across beautiful landscapes.
However, this blog won’t just be about individual trips, it will also focus on products and services that I have personally used, experiences (both positive and negative) and how they have affected me, and how travel and blogging have affected both my mental and physical health.
I hope to inspire and encourage as many people as possible to step out of their front doors and discover the world around them, realising that travel does not necessarily mean carrying your life on your back and heading off to the other side of the world.

It doesn’t really matter where I am in the world I will usually be clutching a mug of sweet black coffee, hunting down a beautiful bookshop, looking for a cat to cuddle and wondering whether it’s acceptable to be wearing pyjamas.
