Let me start this post by giving a bit of background as to why I chose Gothenburg. Back in 2003 I was living and working in London and had a job that paid pretty well and well enough that I could pay my bills and have money left over. I decided that I wanted to […]
I decided that once I had got my Christmas bonus from work I would use it to book some flights throughout the year and one of these was a trip to Rome. I had been to Rome in 2012, but this was a whistlestop tour whilst Jamie and I were on a cruise. I think […]
So, I have realised some 18 months later that I never wrote about my trip to Strasbourg and I figure that I should! Please forgive me if my memory is a bit hazy about it (I have been told it will happen as I am 40 and close to senility! Yeah… thank you like!). I […]
One of the reasons I decided I wanted to go to Prague was to see Andre Rieu. I booked the tickets and then didn’t book the flight tickets right away as I wanted a friend to come along with me. I managed to convince him and then I found the flight times and an Airbnb […]
In my previous place of residence, I house shared with a couple of guys from Romania and I sat and chatted with them about what the country was like. I was intrigued and decided that I wanted to go to Bucharest. I booked my tickets for November 2017 and it turned out I wasn’t able […]
Ever since mid 2017 when I saw that Ryanair was going to start flying to Ukraine, I decided that it was somewhere that I wanted to go and visit. I booked it for December 2017 and as the time got closer, Ryanair decided that they weren’t going to fly to Kiev anymore and I had […]
I must admit, I surprised myself when I decided on Barcelona. Having been there before, it wasn’t somewhere that I had planned to go to again. I originally had never had Spain on my bucket list, but when we went to Barcelona on our Med Cruise, I kinda fell in love with Spain. I decided […]
Since we hadn’t done a christmas market in a couple of years, we decided that this year we would make the effort to go to one in the Netherlands and since Germany was so close we would find one we hadn’t been to there. We had some Tesco vouchers that we converted into Eurotunnel vouchers […]
As with most of my other trips, this was a spur of the moment decision. Ken had already been to Hong Kong and told me how nice it was and the pictures he took there looked pretty amazing. I hadn’t seen any of Asia and really wanted to. My Seoul trip was also spur of […]
I’ll start by explaining how I come to end up in Budapest. I had taken some time off work because of a really bad episode of my depression. I was supposed to go to Sweden during my 4 days off work but I couldn’t face going. I got everything packed and the morning of I […]
