Visit the hipster capital of Newcastle
The northern city hosts festivals and events all summer.
When choosing to take a staycation rather than heading overseas this summer, most people will turn their eyes to places on the coast such as Bournemouth or Brighton, where they can enjoy a traditional British seaside holiday.
However, those looking for something with a difference could turn to the hipster capital of Newcastle.
This summer, the city will play host to a number of events and festivals as it provides an alternative city break for people who are not looking to soak up the Olympic atmosphere in London.

Breathalyzers on the ski slopes? Be careful not to invalidate your travel insurance
According to some recent research coming out of the U.S., over 90% of skiers would back ski policing policies like:

Aside from the potentially life changing consequences of skiing out of control, if someone encounters a skiing accident as a result of drinking, their injuries would not be covered by travel insurance.
