Our blog is here to keep you updated on all things travel and all things Excedo.
We'll keep you in the know about the hottest destinations, and the newest, most exciting places that we're travelling to. We regularly visit the destinations that we offer, so we'll even keep you informed when we're on the move, with live updates coming from the Antarctic to the North Pole. You'll also find special offers and late availability slots here, so keep checking back.
As well as updates on where's in and what to see, you can also find out about what to eat, with recipes from around the world provided regularly by our in-house foodie, John Denton, in our Global Gourmet blogs. We'll also give you other top tips on international cooking and recommend some of the best wines we've come across on our travels. We think a very important part of travelling is experiencing a country's cuisine, so even if you can't be out exploring the world right now, you can at least taste it.
So, be sure to keep checking back for up-to-date travel reports and info on our destinations - you never know, you might be inspired!

Party in the parades of Rio and dance to the beat of the drums in Salvador, the atmosphere of the Brazilian carnival is second to none. It will chew you up with its vibrant music, colourful costumes and killer caipirinhas and then spit you out four days later with a rather sore head. For the die hard, the five-day ‘resaca' period follows. This translates as the five day ‘hangover period' but simply entails more partying on the beach for most Brazilians.
