The shifting sands of Fuerteventura’s wild northern coast, a national park snaking down the north of the island where golden dunes ripple beside turquoise Atlantic waters near Corralejo, wind-sculpted sands stretching endlessly. Quiet beaches bask under the scorching Canary Island sun, distant volcano silhouettes and rolling waves creating a serene escape. @renateruge8380 @Andy_waterworth @britishguildoftravelwriters @travwriters #corralejobeach #fuerteventura #corralejo

A winter wonderland. Bad Gastein, a historic spa and ski town 100 km south of Salzburg, Austria. Situated at 1000 metres, it offers great high altitude skiing, hiking and wellness in thermal spas. Enjoying the full moon dinner at Sportsgastein and lively après-ski at the Silver Bullet bar, Hof Bad Gastein. @visitaustria, #feelaustria ,#lebensgefühl @visitgastein #visitaustria

Cranbrook's Pink Salt Lakes, north of the Stirling Ranges in Western Australia. Heading down to Albany on the Great Southern Highway. This place is awesome and well worth a quick pit stop.

Wild about @wildluing and a helicopter view of a wonderful stay on the beautiful island of Luing in Scotland with Renate Ruge. Pictured here, our 'neighbours', the gentle breed of cow The Luing, a mix of a Highland cow and Beef Shorthorn, ambling along the shoreline and fields around the property.

Salema is a tiny fishing village found in the far western Algarve. Caught on camera - its long golden beach stretching beneath steep cliffs. A peaceful escape from the busier beaches and great for a long lazy lunch at beachside restaurants like A Boia. #portugal #visitalgarve #salema ​⁠​⁠@britishguildoftravelwriters

It was just a perfect day, and glad we spent it with you, Darren and Amanda, our Aussie pals at Mollydooker Wines 🍇🍷 Found at the heart of South Australia’s McLaren Vale, at boutique winery Mollydooker (named after the left-handed founders), it’s all about the experience… After ‘doing the shake’, every pour is more delicious than the last. It was hard to choose a favourite out of the bold, full-bodied reds with smooth, velvety textures, each sip telling a story of McLaren Vale’s rich terroir but Miss Mollydooker and Blue Eyed Boy were real winners and you can only taste these drops at source, as it is not readily available in the UK. Luckily, the Boxer Shiraz is a favourite tipple of ours and we always have a few bottles of this lovely wine in for Christmas. The Mollydooker Shuffle is a fun and fascinating ritual where the wine is swirled and aerated to release its full depth and flavour. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfbap3Ihdbs With stunning views, this is one peaceful setting to sip and savour. And not far up a track through the vineyard to ‘shuffle’ home to bed at Rare Earth retreats to enjoy more wine by the open fire and sleep among the vines. #mollydookerwines #mclarenvale #winereview #southaustralia #winetasting #foodandtravel #vineyardchurch #southaustralianwine #visitaustralia #travel @mollydookerwines @rarearthretreats @travwriters @mrs_amanda_e

We loved our stay at Rare Earth Retreats, set among the vines of the Mollydooker vineyard in South Australia’s picturesque McLaren Vale wine region and in shiraz heaven... This super luxe off-grid accommodation celebrates sustainability and luxury in equal measure, built to reflect the local terroir, the kitchen stocked with locally sourced provisions and Mollydooker wine to enjoy by the fire. With world-class food and wine on the doorstep and set in a place of pure peace, it was easy to disconnect from everyday life. The king bed has French linen bedding and there’s a bath on the deck, perfect for a sunset soak with panoramic McLaren Vale views… https://www.instagram.com/rarearthretreats/ @rarearthretreats @mollydookerwines #mclarenvale #southaustralia #visitaustralia #southaustralianwine #offgrid #slowliving #travel @travwriters @renateruge
