February 2021

February was a cold, short month, but we’re excited here in the UK because by the end of the month we are getting close to spring! The snowdrops have been and gone and the crocuses are out in our local park. Pre-Covid, February was a month when we’d be skiing either in the Alps or…

January 2021

A new year and we thought 2021 would be one to celebrate the end of Covid and that we might be travelling again, skiing in the Alps, but that was not to be. We hope that this year will bring an end to it, albeit later than we’d hoped. Meanwhile at Action Packed Travel, we’ve…

We then thought that, as well as having a…

August 2020

So far we’ve had 76 five-star ratings on Apple iTunes in the UK, and 79 in the USA, but “What an interesting and diverse world you are opening up for us in a nicely laid back way. Very informative and some are also wonderful archive material,” is definitely the loveliest quote we’ve had from anyone…

July 2020

On the last day of July, when lockdown and travel is as unsure as ever, we have now recorded our first episode on location. It was in our home town of Winchester, so that wasn’t too difficult, and we’re going to be doing others in the UK. We’re not able to go further afield, as…

June 2020

This month we did something new – we went on someone else’s podcast. We met Wendy Payne from Travel With Wendy on the Buzzsprout Podcast Community on Facebook and decided to do a swap – so we interviewed Wendy for our podcast and then she interviewed us. But Wendy doesn’t only have a podcast, she…
