In my opinion there is no greater thing to spend your hard earned money on than seeing the world!

I would love to be one of those girls who packs her bags, puts the house up for rent, quits her job and explores the world for months or even years on end. Perhaps aided by a Youtube vlog or highly profitable side job…

Realistically though, I know this isnt possible for multiple reasons:

1. Im a lucky person who loves their job and their career. I have alot of ambition to progress and I wouldnt want to leave that behind.
2. I love my family and my friends. I know there are those that say some of the best people they have ever met have been whilst travelling and that may be true but for me my friends and family already are the best people in my life. I couldnt go without seeing my family as often as I can or spending the weekend with my friends.
3. Money. Moolar. Dollar. This is probably one of the biggest walls that stand in the way of people wanting to travel more. Im not rich. I never will be. This is something I have come to accept and until I win the lottery or stumble across a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow (the latter being more likely) it will affect how often I can hop to the next adventure.
4. I am not a Youtube Vlogger – there would be no point in trying. Theres too much competition and Im definitely not as interesting as the lucky people already doing it.

It is these reasons that lead me to where I am today! I am an average girl, leading an average life, with the odd blind dog and clumsy anecdote thrown in and this is how I am trying to see the world. One trip at a time.

So up to this point I have not been particularly far or wide…

Recently Liam bought me a scratch map that you can scratch the different countires you have visited off. As you can see, theres alot of gold still on there.

So far we have done… England, France, Scotland, Italy, Western USA and most recently Hungary.

We havent even done all of the UK yet!

So I am going to document my travels on here. As a way for me to keep a record to one day look back on but also to give others an idea of what a particular place is like. Not as part of an epic road trip or quick “24 hours in (insert city here)” but just as a standard holiday.

I will try and do a bit about most of the holidays so if any of them tickle your pickle have a peruse. If not, scroll on by.
