Published on June 8, 2022June 27, 2022 by VictoriaLeave a comment

If you’re looking for something calm and peaceful to do whilst in Bristol then I recommend a visit to Bristol Botanical Gardens. Here are my photos from our recent trip and my review.

Welcome to Travel Vixta, a family travel blog sharing our travelling adventures, travel tips with kids, UK days out and events, Bongo campervan stories, kid-free trips, travel bucket lists and, well, anything travel related!

I’m Victoria Sully, married to Ben and our children are Bella and Reuben.

Now our children are both school age, I am itching to travel more.  We purchased a Mazda Bongo Friendee poptop campervan in June 2018 with the aim of exploring more of the UK on a budget.

Ben loves camping and I’m trying to love it!  Ben’s quite happy staying in a tent, but I’d rather an actual bed, so let’s just say the van was a compromise!

Ben counts a stay in the UK as a holiday, I think a ‘proper’ holiday involves getting on a plane to go somewhere with guaranteed sunshine, golden sands and turquoise seas!

I absolutely love mountains, lakes and coastal paths.  I prefer to disappear somewhere with less people and to explore on foot.  Though I won’t say no to a boat trip.

Pre-kids I travelled a little and Ben mostly with work.  Read more about our history of travelling, before I started this blog in November 2018, by clicking here.

Since starting my travel blog, I now share all our days out and travel adventures in this travel diary.

You can also discover my husband and I blogging at three more blogs:

Find all things healthy living at Healthy Vix.

At Lylia Rose, my money and lifestyle blog, you can discover how to get free money, ways to make money online, my matched betting blog and lots of money saving tips!

At Wood Create you can discover my husband and I writing about all things home, garden and DIY.

From April 2021 my husband Ben joined me in writing travel articles for this blog.  We hope you enjoy :)

In September 2021 we moved to Cornwall from Gloucestershire!  We are excited to explore this beautiful county, share our adventures and stunning photos of Cornwall on our blog.  Keep an eye on my travel diary category for lots of ideas for things to do in Cornwall and the amazing places we have found.  I think it’s going to feel like a travel adventure for a few years!
