Paper Planes and Caramel Waffles is a travel and lifestyle blog that wants to inspire your adventures around your full-time job.

Hi, I’m Emma! I’m a full-time worker in Yorkshire with a passion for travel and a firm belief that you don’t need to quit your job or wait for the perfect time to see the world. For me, it’s not about squeezing every drop out of annual leave, instead it’s about using it intentionally to create experiences that truly matter.

That might mean staying in a dream hotel, taking that once-in-a-lifetime trip, or simply returning to a favourite place where you can switch off and recharge.

I started this blog to help you do the same. From curated itineraries and destination guides to practical tips, I’ll show you how to make the most of your time off at home and abroad and enjoy meaningful travel outside the 9 to 5, all without pressing pause on your career.
