We all have that one, unique memory of sharing a unique travel moment with a special friend. And in this episode, Kevin Flanagan recalls his time visiting Rome with his best pal from school. “We had both studied art history for our A levels and this was a very special journey before we both went off to university to study the History of Art proper.” 

Kevin recalls it was a really memorable holiday and the occasion of their first visit to St Peter’s Basilica in Rome was one of the highlights. “That occasion really summed up the magic of that trip - a sort of pilgrimage to our love of art and its history and the journey we had shared together. Unforgettable!”

“For me, the volcanoes of Lanzarote are one of the great wonders of the natural world,” says Kevin Flanagan, the voice of The Top Travel Destination, after a trip to the legendary volcanoes. “As a human being, they make you feel so small and insignificant in the face of such vast power. The power that nature uses to form our planet through such volcanic eruptions.” 

Kevin found the experience profound yet strangely calming. “The volcanos represent the true wonder of creation and I stood in awe before them. It’s a sight all of us should witness.”
