Are there really no other initiatives in the cruise industry designed to benefit the environment? There has been a huge amount of tumbleweed in response to my #prrequest #journorequest - sadly as I'd expected it to be and I really do feel it should do better. Marine industry?.

Tell me all about the best, greenest, most sustainable and planet-friendly initiatives out there in the cruise industry! Not reusable cups and single-use plastic bans (though this is of course, great) I mean real, meaningful, inspiring change. #prrequest #journorequest #cruise.

Massive congrats to @Ryanair for increasing cabin bag sizes. Shame on the others not following suit — especially @easyJet who clobbered me recently for £60 as my hand luggage was a few cms too big.

Anyone with dual nationality with the UK / another country been caught by new ETA rules that mean if your passport is out of date you can't come in the UK unless you provide false info on the ETA form or pay £589 for an 'entitlement to travel'? Researching for a newspaper story.

I dealt with my fair share of near-fatal incidents on the water during my time living by the sea, so I was delighted when @TelegraphTravel asked me to write about paddleboarding safely. Big thanks to all involved @RedPaddleCo @Bsupa_uk @PaddleUK.

Looking for mid-range safari operators for a multi-generational trip for a national newspaper. And for insurance companies and car hire firms who specialise in / offer good rates for 70/75 travellers+. #journorequest #prrequest #safari #travel.

Skiers — please have your say. Are ski holidays becoming unaffordable in your opinion?.

Ski holidays have never been 'cheap', but prices on the slopes have threatened to blow the budgets of thousands of British skiers this season as costs soar. We want to hear from you 🧐. are ski holidays becoming unaffordable?.
