Travel stories, road trips, and practical advice
Travel Patch is an independent travel blog with contributions from a group of family and friends as a way of sharing our love for travel, road trips, and discovering the world beyond the usual tourist routes.
We share our stories, detailed itineraries, and practical tips based on our experiences across Europe, and beyond. We'll tell you the mistakes we made, the highlights of our trips, and maybe a funny story or two.
Our travel style ranges from an action packed few days booked based on a cheap flight, to a meticulously itinerised fortnight booked in stages over the course of several months, to solo adventures in far flung places.
Having to work for a living is the only thing slowing us down!

An Accidental Travel Blog
While planning a trip, I was searching for an answer to a very specific question and eventually found it on a small, personal blog — not a glossy travel site, just someone sharing their experience. It wasn’t perfect, but it helped. And that stuck with me.
