Welcome to a new edition of Monday Escapes. For those of you who are new to our travel-loving community, lovely to have you – we hope you enjoy reading our inspiring posts from bloggers all across the globe. Every week, Allane and I get to enjoy so many stories and photographs, some we may have missed if it hadn’t been for Monday Escapes.
One story in particular from Rosie Woodhouse about her time in Jordan, made us both rather emotional and teary. It’s a thought-provoking and humbling article about her time meeting Syrian refugees, so please show some it some love, alongside the other top picks we’ve made.

What is Monday Escapes?
Monday Escapes is all about looking back a wonderful, happy travel memories and sharing them with others. It doesn’t have to be abroad or even a written post. If you want to share your favourite snapshots – whether it’s a famous sight, scene, dramatic view or even a favourite family photo, then please feel free to link those up, too. Likewise, posts don’t have to be about holidays or weekends away, they can also include day trips, walks, attractions – any travel experience that you want to share.
