| Hello fellow traveller, It’s Abi from Bradt and let's get started! If an email each week seems like too much, then you can always switch to monthly by clicking right here (you will know we've registered your preference because you'll land on a lucky dip travel article. No further action required.) So, how's your summer going? Here at Bradt, we love to focus on overlooked places, over two-thirds of Bradt guides still have no direct competition from other publishers after all. If there was no Bradt guide to these places, there would be no guide at all. And while I love to browse through work about Benin, North Korea and Tajikistan, one thing I love even more is that there's no sense of snobbery here. There's room for popular places, too, like this family guide to Fort Myers in Florida or this handy piece on Times Square. Then there's the middle ground, where you can read about camping in Estonia or unusual outdoor activities in the UK. So, no matter my frame of mind or current budget and responsibilities, there's always somewhere that fits the bill. Until next week, Cheers, Abi | Camping in Estonia offers wild and wonderful views like this |
Why you should go camping in Estonia Ad | Visit Estonia Camping in Estonia opens the door to a world of natural wonders. Forests cover more than 50% of the land in this small Baltic country and as a result, it’s quickly becoming a hotspot for campers looking to explore its wild countryside and coastline dotted with more than 2000 islands. Free campsites and affordable prices only add to the appeal, but there are important considerations to bear in mind. Here are some essential tips for any outdoor enthusiast wanting to explore this beautiful Baltic country. Estonia offers two primary camping choices: wild camping, also known as free camping, or staying at established campsites. With wild camping, you have the freedom to set up camp in nature away from designated areas, but it’s crucial to abide by local regulations and practise leave-no-trace principles. Alternatively, established campsites offer a range of facilities, including picnic tables, shower blocks and sometimes additional amenities like free Wi-Fi and cosy wooden cabins.
