In late November, I again found myself on the Oxford Tube to visit my sister. Oxford is a city I feel very conflicted about. I'm starting to get to know it quite well due to my sister living there, however, every time I go I start to like it less. The city comes off to …
An Impromptu Trip to Oxford
I had a couple of days off, so I ventured off to Oxford to visit my sister! It was a lovely couple of days, and so warm as well! Once I got to Oxford, I wasn't able to meet up with my sister for a few hours, but it was such a lovely day I …
How Much For: A Brief Stay In Cardiff
Budget: £350-400 Transport: £11.90. I had a 50% off voucher for National Express so this seemed like the best time to use it. I also used the bus once and this was to St Fagans. Accommodation: £144. This hotel seemed like a good fit for me, it was close to the coach station and in …
Cardiff: 4: A Last Goodbye
I had kind of explored Cardiff as much as I could, I thought. It was my last day and I didn't have anything I really wanted to see left on my list. I decided to go around the town and explore my favourite places again. I firstly went down to Cardiff Bay. I went for …
Cardiff: 3: Sain Ffagans
On my second full day I knew I was going on a day trip, and I was torn between St Fagans National Museum or Caerphilly Castle. I was pretty sure on going to the museum, but after talking to a friend who knows the Cardiff area quite well, I was set on St Fagans. I …
Cardiff: 2: A Rare Night Out
My second day in Cardiff was a little bit strange. While I was planning this trip, I had tried to book a tour of the Brecon Beacons. Because of the strange time of year, no one else booked it and it was cancelled the night before, leaving me with an unplanned extra day. I decided …
Cardiff: 1: The Castle Keep
In all the travel research I have done in the last few years, and especially the UK travel research I've been doing in the last six months, everyone raves about either London or Scotland. I understand completely, London is the best city in the world (in my humble opinion) and Scotland is a beautiful country …
To My Long Left Home
Winchester will always feel like home to me. It's the first place I moved away from family, it's where I did my degree, made lifelong friends. In a way, I was made there. Recently I hadn't quite felt like myself, so I decided it was time to visit my long left home. I returned to …
Travel Plans for 2019
2019 is going to be an odd travel year. I'm already been to Portugal, but this will probably be my last international trip of the year, unless I manage to get a major deal in February or March. Brexit will take place at the end of March this year, and with so much uncertainty around …
Scotland: 5: A Highland Cow Hunt
Tuesday was the one day we had fully scheduled for central Edinburgh. We went in early, and even though our train was delayed, when we got there the Christmas Market was not that busy. We decided to go to the Royal Mile first. The Royal Mile is on of my favourite places in Edinburgh, and …
