Thanks for stopping by! I’m Justine, a photographer and traveller from the UK. I’m in love with the great outdoors, adventure travel and offbeat places, always with the aim to spend as little money as possible. And that’s what Lost in the Midlands is all about.

You’ve come to the right place if you love or want to know more about:

• Adventurous and independent travel that doesn’t break the bank, particularly hiking and snorkelling
• Exploring the more unusual places the world has to offer – places that don’t get a lot of travellers but also visiting popular places at unusual times (check out my ever-growing series of off season travel guides)

My aim for this blog is to help and inspire you to get on the road and have your own awesome adventures, regardless of your age, experience or budget. So if you’re looking for ideas or inspiration, advice or information, or perhaps just a good old story, then make yourself at home…
