Travelling is the best investment you can make — and the worst if you end up in a dodgy hotel in Benidorm with a broken air-con. At Mademoiselle Bulle, Kristina shares honest destination guides, budget tips, and packing hacks that actually work — because nobody needs a "capsule travel wardrobe" article written by someone who's never queued at Stansted.

The appetite is enormous: according to ABTA, over 45 million holidays abroad were taken by UK residents in 2023, and the average spend on a week's holiday reached £1,200 per person. That's serious money, so our articles focus on maximising every pound — where to go, when to book, what to skip, and the hidden gems the guidebooks miss.

City breaks, beach escapes, solo travel, family holidays, weekend getaways within the UK — whatever you're after, there's a guide here written by someone who's actually been (and isn't being paid by the hotel).
