2020 TRAVEL WISHES

2020 TRAVEL WISHES

I used to start the year with a bucket list, of places I wanted to tick off visiting. But I’ve gone off that idea over the last few years. People would say, oh away again, and for whatever reason it was we wanted or needed to be away again, they had a point!…

My Travel Bucketlist with the Travel Name Game

My Travel Bucketlist with the Travel Name Game

Hands up anyone who has a travel bucketlist? We all do don’t we! I try to keep mine written down to not lose track. But it keeps changing. Pinterest must take a lot of the blame – it’s basically a photo scrolling wish list that updates by the second… My travel list on there…

The annual bucketlist update

The annual bucketlist update

Whether or not we like them, we all have a bucketlist or two – for life and in this case for travel.  Mine is subject to an annual update as horizons widen or tastes change. I’ve just looked back at my 2014 and 2015 lists and it’s fantastic to see how the travel…

Planning our 2017 adventures

Planning our 2017 adventures

We have no travel or adventures planned yet for 2017, none.  Come December in a normal year, we’d have plenty mapped out. Not this year.  Due to work commitments we’re taking our big trip of the year in December. So we’ve had something to look forward to and plan in Q4… But now we have an…

I’ve read enough articles about how people that take regular holidays are happier and healthier and I agree with every…

Is it really September already?

Is it really September already?

A friend shared an amusing article about how most people are surprised it is September already – I can’t agree more and already it is whistling past at pace.  It has been a busy year, even just recapping the Take 12 Trips bits… The #Take12Trips initiative introduced to me by On the Luce…

My travel personality

My travel personality

Mr P would probably say my travel personality was of the control freak type (I call that organised), however alongside he acknowledges the awesome trips we’ve taken and that the planning helps us both relax very quickly!  We always notice how quickly our skin takes on the out-of-office relaxed glow about 2 days…

Places to visit again

Places to visit again

Travel – it’s all about seeing somewhere new? Right or wrong? Well, I guess in some ways it is – it is fantastic to discover a new place and fall in love with it, and it is motivational to have a bucket list full of more amazing places still to visit.  But there…

2015’s challenge – #take12trips

2015’s challenge – #take12trips

2014’s challenge was to take a photo a day for 365 days!  It was a real challenge, good to look back on now, but at times really frustrating!  An accountants life is not always the most exciting.  Thankfully I only took pictures of my cups of tea on a few occasions! So for…

Where to in 2015?

Where to in 2015?

Strangely for us, we haven’t made many plans for 2015 yet.  2014 was an epic year of travel – 39 flights including visits with Mr P to UAE, Dubai, Venice, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Cornwall, Sardinia, Greece and Vienna….  We’ve no plans to keep up that pace this year, but we still have 12…
