I'm off to South America!

Hello Wonderful People!

I’m off to South America tomorrow! As I'm horrendously disorganised, I still haven't packed and I'm due to get a train to London in 5 hours. Whoops. I'm currently sat here in my pjs, thinking about maybe packing, but I just don't want to get out of bed. Packing issues aside, I'm stupidly excited to be heading to Brazil in the morning! I've not got a clue what to expect and I just can't wait to actually be there (damn you 14 hour flight). I’ve got a rough route planned out, as I fly into Rio De Janeiro, Brazil and out of Lima, Peru. So my travels will take me south through Brazil and into Argentina, then West through Argentina into Chile. Finally, I’m getting a flight from Santiago to Liam before it's time to head home to bony old England. Boo. As I’m only going for one month, time is going to be pretty limited and there is SO much I want to see and do, but sadly I’m not going to be able to squeeze everything in! This isn’t too bad though, as it means I have an excuse to book another trip to South America in the future to finish off my exploring!

 As I'm a good old budget backpacker, I don't really know what the internet situation will be like in the places I'll be staying. So stay tuned for possible updates, and if not I'll inundate everyone with posts when I return! As for now, I better get packing and make sure I'm ready to roll!

    "Only" a month? I don't even get two weeks off in a year! (One of the regrettable drawbacks of American employers...) So I'm stupid jealous of your long vacation! :D Have a wonderful time!

      Thanks Katrina! I know, I shouldn't complain about going for a month haha, but I'd love to spend longer there! One day maybe :) x

Why I'd Love to Ski in Canada & Why You Should Start Planning a Trip There Now

I know at this time of year people are usually planning trips away in the sunshine; but (if you're organised) these will have been planned for quite a few months in advance. Now is actually a good time to get ahead of the crowd and be thinking about winter holidays. Summer has just arrived and the majority of people aren’t thinking of a winter holiday just yet, so it's the perfect time to book! Plus, booking early means you can usually can get amazing prices and deals. Skiing and snowboarding holidays are such fun, even if you are a beginner! They're my favourite type of holiday so are the perfect choice for a winter getaway. I would love to ski in Canada one day, so I’m sharing my love for all things Canadian today. I've been there in the summer before, but it would be a great destination choice for a winter holiday!

3 Places I Wouldn't Revisit (Sorry Not Sorry)

Hello Wonderful People! Ever heard of the phrase been there, done that, got the t-shirt ? Of course you have! Well, I feel this phrase sums up some of the less-interesting places I've been to. Don't get me wrong, I love visiting somewhere new and discovering all it has to offer, but sometimes, there aint that much there. And it aint that great. There aren't that many places I've been to on my travels that haven't inspired me to go back one day, but there are always exceptions to the rule. Well, 3 to be precise. I'll get an apology out of the way now.. I'm sorry if one of your all time favourite places is on this list! Travel is different for everyone and so many different things can influence you opinion and enjoyment of a place. Sadly, for me, these places just didn't float my boat. And while it's nice to say I've been (and got the proverbial t-shirt), I won't be going back in a hurry. Cuff me.

A Long Weekend in Copenhagen

Hello Wonderful People! I was lucky enough to spend the May Day bank holiday weekend in the lovely Copenhagen with some friends. We even managed to squeeze in a little day trip to Sweden, what more could you want? I've never been to Denmark before and several people had raved about Copenhagen, so my expectations were sky high. I had a few things in my mind of what I wanted to do, but other than that I was happy to explore the city and see what we could discover.
