As well as teaching English I am a travel writer always on the lookout for destinations suitable for Valentine’s Day, weddings and honeymoons and anniversary weekends.

Kenya
Kenya offers lots of attractions in and around Nairobi. Narobi's most famous restaurant is The Carnivore where diners can taste meats ranging from giraffe to snake. Also see the Karen Blixen Museum and the Daphne Sheldrick’s elephant orphanage. You can go walking with the Masai warriors who are now running tourist attractions. 'They don't visit the dentist. They visit the toothbrush bush.' Accommodation includes tented camps with nets over beds. Forms of transport include trains and matatu minibuses with music and spectacular painted designs. http://www.magicalkenya.com/

Israel
Israel, official travel destination of Arsenal football club, is the world’s oldest wine producing region and has 150 wineries. In the Dead Sea you can’t sink and don’t need to apply sunscreen, and you get 8% more oxygen so you breathe easily. Eilat in the south has a restaurant offering underwater views of the coral reef.

South Africa
South Africa’s malaria free Madikwe Game Reserve has a wedding package offering the bride a spa treatment and the groom and friends archery target shooting. The Madikwe Hills Game Lodge has a honeymoon suite where the bathroom is enclosed by boulders.

Italy
In Italy the beautiful bay of Naples, where fishing boats go out at night to attract fish by using lights, inspired opera singer Caruso to write Come back to Sorrento. You can stay in the Caruso Suite where he wrote it, enjoying the view from the terrace, and using the piano at the hotel Excelsior Vittoria (victory).
At Heathrow you’ll see ads for featuring fooball’s FIFA World Player of the year, Fabio Cannavaro, promoting Campania, the area of Naples, Sorrento, Positano, the Isle of Capri, Vesuvius, Pompeii and the Amalfi drive coast.

Looking for visit something unusual and uplifting nearer home? On the way to the World Travel Market on the train I met a friend. When I told her about my seeing the Chagall windows in Zurich, Switzerland, she told me you could see Chagall windows in Tudeley church near Tunbridge Wells.
A rich Jewish Sephardi landowner who married a Christian lost his daughter in a drowning accident and later in her memory commissioned the church windows which contain the symbolic ladder to heaven as well as images of water. The windows are beautiful on a sunny day.
