Hey, look at us. Look at YOU! We made it through in one piece.

2021 wasn't exactly a breeze for reasons that don't need repeating. That said, we're intent on putting our best foot forward as Summer 2022 begins in earnest. Since you're here with us, we're assuming you're planning on doing the same.

Summer is a time of unbridled optimism, even in the face of uncertain times, of effervescence emergent after some time spent indoors, refreshing and recalibrating.

As the temperatures get balmy and daylight hours reach their peak, there's an excitement brewing, and we feel ready to tackle the world head on. We know you feel it, too. Here’s where IDEAL comes in.

We're here to keep you entertained and inspired; whether you're after advice on staying positive in stressful times, surviving - or even thriving - as the world opens up again, and, of course, where to eat, drink and travel.

Allow yourself to get excited. We’ve done the legwork so you don’t have to, with our IDEAL guides on travel, food, lifestyle and wellbeing.

We’re an online blog, IDEAL for your daily dose of all things lifestyle, from travel to wellbeing and everything in between
