Biggsy Travels is a blog about ‘unique travel experiences’. Things that nobody has written about before, or better still never experienced before. From winning a private jet to running the New York marathon with a supermodel.

Not everything can be a “one-off” though so you’ll find more repeatable ones too. With enough useful hints & tips for you to decide whether you want to try it for yourself.
