Another great travel companion

11th October 2025 By David Pike

From the earliest times we have gazed at the horizon and wondered what lay beyond.

The desire to travel and discover is instinctive – and today it’s never been easier, more exciting or enjoyable.

We live in a digital age where destinations can be delivered to screens in seconds – the team of writers and journalists at www.exploringmore.co.uk have been doing just that, serving up ideas and information online designed to help the travelling public plan ahead, for several years.

We are now going a step further with the launch of Exploring More magazine – a
bi-monthly magazine delivered free of charge to desktops, mobiles and iPads everywhere.

Exploring More magazine will complement and enhance content carried on its sister website, presenting travel news and in-depth features in a format designed to inspire and inform.

Together they will be steered by the Exploring More team, working proactively with the travel sector and tourist boards, to provide a first-class promotional platform … and an engaging point of contact with the travelling public.

You can download Exploring More magazine using this link – https://exploringmore.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/EM_issue1.pdf

We would love to hear your comments on the magazine and if you would like to be added directly to the mailing list please drop me a line at davidpike55@googlemail.com 

In the meantime, while we get cracking on the next issue of Exploring More magazine ….happy reading .
