I will start off by saying that I have been desperate to travel since I was last away in November. The government have – rightly or wrongly – made it almost impossible for international travel to resume. I have been watching impatiently for announcements about the easing of restrictions and on May 17th, they introduce […]
Turkey wasn’t somewhere that was high on my radar for visiting. I know several people that have been to Turkey (albeit the resorts) and I can’t say that it was anything I was interested in hearing them talk about. I’m not sure why I dismissed it so readily given that I didn’t really know much […]
When I was continuing my search for places to go that didn’t require quarantine on arrival or quarantine back home, Portugal was one of the countries that came to my mind. I knew that Ryanair flew to a few places here. I didn’t really want to go to the islands or where there would be […]
I had this trip to Pisa booked since the beginning of the year and I was meant to go there in the middle of June but, you know, pandemic and all that jazz. I got the email from Ryanair towards the end of May to say the flight was cancelled. This despite Italy opening borders […]
When I read that countries were starting to open borders again (especially to UK tourists), I was desperate to get away. I was sick of being stuck in Peterborough. I had gotten back to Peterborough on March 6th and hadn’t been on a flight or even anywhere close to an airport during that time. Frankfurt […]
Please bear with me with this post. I was hoping to write a couple of posts and not just the one so need to get everything in order. 6 months ago I decided that I wanted to go to Georgia and Armenia. Somewhere different to where I have been before. I booked everything and started […]
I’m gonna preface this post by saying that I made a certain someone unhappy that I was going to Israel. I have also said to the certain someone that I am happy to take them to Israel. This trip was booked in middle of November. I had a thought and then booked it. Israel is […]
I ended 2019 by saying to myself that I have done enough travelling and that I should slow down in 2020. Well, that didn’t go quite according to plan as I was already booking stuff in November for 2020 and also at the beginning of January I was booking stuff too. One of the places […]
In December 2017 I had booked to go to Kiev as Ukraine was somewhere I had never been to before. Everything was booked and then a few weeks before I was due to leave I got an email from Ryanair to say that they were no longer flying to Kiev and they had to cancel […]
Portugal was one of the original European countries that I was yet to go to and Jamie and I said we would always go. Lisbon was always the city of choice. For one reason or another we never got the chance to go. I was going to go in 2018 but I didn’t end up […]
