@gracegrangetravel
I’m Grace, I’m 30, a proud Welshie and obviously all things travel obsessed! When I finished studying to be a pharmacist at uni, I took some time out to travel, where I met my fiancé, Matt and we explored Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Canada together. After that, I started sharing my travels on Instagram and helping others plan their trips, which I love so much.
I’m definitely the type of traveller that likes to visit new places, but there are a few exceptions. I love Italy (who doesn’t?) and I could keep going back to Croatia. I always like to have everything planned well in advance, too, with a full itinerary, including restaurants, beaches, experiences etc. I really love doing the research and getting to know what my trip will look like because it makes me excited. I always think ‘when will I be back here?’ so I like to make sure I’ve got all the best things covered.
Grace’s perfect trip:
- Foodie finds
- Beach vibes

Grace’s picks
Check out where Grace has been so far and her fave picks from when she was there, including hotels, experiences and local recs…
Copenhagen, Denmark
As soon as we arrived in Copenhagen, I knew we were in for a great weekend away. The cyclists, the colourful buildings and the beautiful waterfront – I already loved the city’s vibe. I spent three full days exploring the city, but it has SO much to offer… here are my top tips and recs for how to make the most of a short-n-sweet city break to the Danish capital.

New York, USA
New York is such a dream destination for me and arriving at the airport for the first time, I was filled with excitement as to what the next few days would hold. I’d spent hours prepping the itinerary making sure I was making the most of our time, as well as the really difficult decision of picking where to eat from my huge list of restaurants, bakeries and fast-food spots I’ve had saved over the years… Read Grace’s full itinerary.

Makarska, Croatia
Touching down in my favourite European country, it felt great to be back and I was looking forward to exploring a new area I hadn’t been to before. We spent the next few days in Makarska, a fishing town about an hour south of Split. The town itself has a long promenade lined with bars, restaurants and plenty of excellent ice cream stalls to choose from. Then, you reach the waterfront and Old Town area, which has lots of history and charm – the little streets are great to get lost in… Read Grace’s full itinerary.

Porto, Portugal
If you don’t like sightseeing, urban beaches and great food, you definitely won’t like Porto… I was lucky enough to spend a short-and-sweet four days there, and I fell in love! There’s so much to see (and taste) in the city, as well as some beautiful nature you can escape to just outside. If you need help planning your trip to Porto, here’s what I got up to… Read Grace’s full itinerary
