We love the sound of our own voices so much here at Frui HQ, so we’ve decided to start making a monthly travel podcast.

But it isn’t going to be any old travel podcast, as we’re going to focus on the quirky, off beat issues and ideas that surround travel and the travel industry.

So if you have any ideas of topics that you’d like us to dedicate our first podcast to, let us know by emailing henry@frui.co.uk

Make this the year you explore your creative side in some of the world’s most breathtaking destinations. From sublime desert ruins to idyllic hilltop towns to labyrinthine souks, where will Frui be taking you in 2011…?

Kerala, India

From the epic waterfalls and mountainous peaks of the Western Ghats, to the endless backwaters of Alleppey, to the timeless tea plantations of Munnar and the magical tiger reserve of Periyar, Kerala offers a true taste of the Orient.

Abruzzo, Italy

Situated to the east of Rome, Abruzzo’s mountainous plateaux give way to majestic valleys, which sweep down to the Adriatic Sea. Perhaps the most unspoilt of Italian regions, over two thirds of Abruzzo is designated national park. Here wild bears and wolves roam, while rugged pastory mountain dogs guard the grazing livestock.

Marrakech, Morocco

Sip mint tea and watch the storks nest on the ramparts of ancient palaces, mosques and medinas, while snake charmers, storytellers, dancers and alchemists gather for an evening of festivities in the main square, Djemaa el Fna.

Istria, Croatia

In the centre of this heart shaped piece of land you’ll find mountainous plateaux and medieval hilltop towns surrounded by lush vineyards and bountiful olive groves. While in the north Istria’s undulating peninsular, with its white calcareous hills, sweeps down to a turquoise coast. And in the southwest are the ancient forests and low-lying valleys saturated in a flaming red soil.

Istanbul, Turkey

Situated on two continents and with a skyline punctuated with ancient mosques, medieval towers, exquisite palaces and modern skyscrapers, Istanbul is a bustling cosmopolitan city where East meets West.

Syria, Middle East

Syria will inspire and captivate you. Lose yourself in the history and magic of Aleppo’s awe-inspiring citadel, the magnificent ruined desert city of Palmyra and the hustle and bustle of Damascus’ exotic souk.

County Kerry, Ireland

County Kerry in southwest Ireland forms the dramatic western edge of Europe. For those interested in landscape photography this pocket of Ireland offers some of the most sublime vistas in the British Isles.

Berlin, Germany

Whether you’re interested in art, music, literature, fashion or theatre, Berlin is now at the leading edge of it all. This eclectic and vibrant creative scene can be traced back twenty years to the fall of the Wall, which left a cultural void in Berlin. It wasn’t long before young, talented creatives full of fresh ideas and sharp pencils flocked to the city for the cheap rent and a chance to make a name for themselves.
