Photography, reading, walking with my dog, learning languages, meeting people, watching wildlife, horse riding, trying something new, … These are some of the passions that fuel my life and encourage my travels
This blog is my way of exploiting my love of writing and photography. I am keen to share my travel ideas, experiences and photographs. I hope you will find inspiration here, and that you will join me for a chat now and then by leaving a comment. Most importantly, I hope to pass on a smile or a chuckle.
If you want to contact me for interviews, commissions or to buy prints, please drop me a line at dsmyth@travelwithintent.com or call on +44 7973552583

Thank you for following our blog. Through our photography and words we hope to inspire others to get out and see the world. And perhaps through those travels the world will become a smaller and less threatening place as we discover the many kindred spirits who share our passions, hopes and aspirations. As Mark Twain said, “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.”
It’s never too early or late to discover and follow your heart. Make time for the people, work, and causes you truly care about. Somehow, we think you already know this. 🙂 Cheers, Wooly and Raeski.

Hi Debbie, I was new to blogging last year and I guess I have explored hundreds of different blogs over the year – people who live in Spain, writers, photographers, foodies, book reviewers and some I struggle to define! That’s a lot of reading. And you too have read my blog, in its first year, when I was finding my way. So as a big THANK YOU for your support, I’d like to nominate you for the Dragon’s Loyalty Award.
Please click below to read more about the award:-

Many thanks, and Happy Blogging in 2014.
