Since I’ve been working in travel, which is over a year now, it’s opened up a whole array of places that I would never have dreamt of visiting but I really want to now. Some might say it could be damaging to my bank account but I’m all for travelling, making memories and learning about new cultures. I firmly believe that travel is the only…

Oh brunch, where do I start? You’re the perfect meal for me. I hate eating when I wake up and I bloody love lunch time so to merge the two was a genius idea, especially when there’s a lot of cheese involved. Obica, are famous for building their menu around Mozzarellas di Bufala Campana, and I have zero issues with that. I mean, cheese is life…

When it comes to rum, I’m quite happy to drink it straight when it tastes as good as Dead Man’s Fingers does. With notes of sweet saffron, sherry, caramel with vanilla and cinnamon, nutmeg and orange there is more than enough flavours to be drunk neat over ice. Dead Man’s Fingers is made by The Rum & Crab Shack in Cornwall and their little motto for…

I had never flown with Monarch until this year, this very flight in fact. I’m not sure why or how that has happened as I feel like I’m forever on planes this year! They offer flights from five major airports across the UK including Birmingham, Leeds Bradford, London Luton, London Gatwick and Manchester to over 40 destinations and our route was Gatwick to Barcelona.  Early…

I love books, I always have and I’m sure it’s something I will continue to love.

I read a variety of…

On our way back from Benicassim music festival we had around 8 hours to spend in Barcelona before our flight. We thought we’d utilise the time we had rather than waiting around at the festival campsite. We left the campsite just after 6.15am meaning we arrived at Barcelona airport a little after 9am. We had a quick freshen up in the loos, dropped our bags…

When you usually think of staying in a hotel at the airport it’s because you’ve got an early flight and want to make the most of your sleep, but sometimes we like to shake it up a little bit. After flying home from Barcelona we decided, as we were meant to land at 10pm that we’d make the most of a shower and a real…

I enter a lot of competitions on Twitter but little did I expect to win two 4 day tickets with camping to Benicassim Music Festival in Spain with Festicket, but I did and so flights were organised, I roped in a buddy in the shape of Rachel and plans were made. We flew in and out of Spain via Barcelona with Monarch, but there’s a…
