I used to get extremely burnt out and couldn’t even handle booking a hotel or flight when I did have time off. I thought “Wouldn’t it be awesome if someone would write a guide that gave you one perfect escape; the hotel, sight, flight and restaurant.” So that’s what I did. (Although this one doesn't have a spa!)

My new series of mini-guides, although part of a much longer journey, is specifically designed to give you the precise information, the recipe you need to have the adventure – without getting bogged down with too many choices or details.

Venice waits for you. It is the home of the artist, the writer, adventurer or madman (depending on how you look at it) for thousands of years. Their spirit abides, Marco Polo, Da Vinci, Shakespeare, Christie… haunting the canals, which demand exploration and defy explorers.

'You will come away feeling as if she was sharing with you personally and will want to read more of her life adventures.”

'I finally feel like I'm really living, not just surviving.'

“I’ve just booked my first holiday in 13 years!”
