Welcome to the TRAVEL hub on The Purple Pumpkin Blog!
Who doesn’t love to travel? It might not always be to far flung places, but getting out of the house, and away from your normal surroundings is always a great experience.
You’ll find Trip Reports from our travels in this hub – days out, weekend city breaks both in the UK, and in Europe, as well as our annual trips to Walt Disney World!
And I also share Wanderlust Destinations, Travel Tips, Travel Printables, and more!
