Top 5 Bucket List Destinations

Image
Hello Wonderful People! I don't know about you, but I have a Bucket List , and I'm determined to tick everything off it before I kick the bucket. I think everyone should have a Bucket List, in some form or other. You don't necessarily (like I do) have to put pen to paper and religiously tick things off once you've accomplished them. Merely having a set of goals and ideas in your head, of the things you'd like to see, do and achieve throughout your life, is pretty much the same as having a Bucket List. I'm fortunate enough to have already accomplished several of my goals in life and have ticked a fair few things off my list. While I still have so much more to see and do, there are a few travel related things (surprise, surprise) I can't wait to cross off my list in the next few years. 

2014: The Highlights

Image
Hello Wonderful People!   What a year. I can't quite believe that it's coming to an end; life really does get quicker as you get older. 2013 was a pretty awesome year and I thought it would be pretty impossible for 2014 to top it, but it may just have done. After an epic 4 month travelling adventure in 2013, I thought my long-trip travelling days were over. I was ready to get a real life job, settle into adult life and make do with weekend breaks and holidays to ease my travel cravings. Well, it's nearly December and I've somehow managed to visit 7 new countries and 2 new continents. Plus I've landed an awesome job and moved to London; something I've always wanted to do. Not too shabby. While this year has been up there with some of the best, there have also been a fair few rubbish moments that we won't dwell on. At the start of the year I was still living at home and decided that I wanted to do a spot more travelling before making the big move to Londo...

Travelling Through the Eyes of Instagram

Image
Hello Wonderful People! I'm by no means a great photographer. Sure I love to take photos, am I good at it? Not really. Are my photos usually blurry/ wonky/ have a finger in the top corner? You bet. This is where my good old friend Instagram comes into play. This magical little app makes me look like a shit-hot professional who knows what they're doing. I'm happy to admit that I'm a complete Istagram addict, I bloody love the thing! And as a result, I use it to make loads of my travel pictures look super amazing. Here's a selection of some of my favourites. And if you fancy having a stalk at the rest, check out my Instagram page: Katienelson_x  

My Marrakech Recommendations

مرحبا شعب رائع Marrakech has been on my 'must visit' list for a while now, and my trip there definitely didn't disappoint! In fact, I loved it so much that I've already planned an itinerary for the next time I visit! Yes, there will be a next time! I went for 4 nights, which gave us the perfect amount of time to explore without feeling too rushed. The weather was also amazing, a cool 37 degree every day, which is apparently mega hot for this time of year! It was also pretty cheap and I only spent just over  £100 during the holiday, and considering we ate out twice a day and went on a day trip, I think that's pretty good going!
