A definitive guide to The Grand Palace’s dress code

After all the palaver we had at the Grand Palace I thought this would be a good post for would be travellers intending to visit.

Bon Voyage! Part 2

To be honest, this was the part of the journey I was dreading. A long haul flight. The only flights I had really taken were quick jaunts to Europe as a child. Even then I remember thinking that there wasn’t much room for my legs! Now, as a 6″ 4′ adult (read as giant man baby) I was expecting the worst. I was prepared to be sat down for about 11 hours in a small cramped seat where even flight socks wouldn’t put off the inevitable deep vein thrombosis.

Bon Voyage! Part 1

So finally, the day came round where Cati and I set off for our grand adventure!

A few more farewells

It’s now just 4 days until I leave my homeland of Wales to fulfil my lifelong dream of seeing the world.

Packing: A Battle of Wills

So the time has come. The worst part of any holiday or getaway. Packing. Ugh.

The quest for a backpacking friendly skin routine

As every quarterlife girl knows, skincare is vital. If only I’d listened to my Grama (gran) when I was 17 as she nagged me to moisturise instead of brushing her off with an, ‘I’m young I don’t need to!’ 😫

Travel essentials from Lush

I’m a sucker for Lush. Whenever I’m walking through a town, that smell just draws me to the store- no map needed. So when I knew I was going travelling I was excited to see what they had on offer for a would-be backpacker like myself!

Leaving do #1

With less than a fortnight to go till we depart the UK for the best part of a year it’s time to say au revoir to my nearest and dearest. First on the agenda my uni friends: these guys are the greatest people you will ever meet. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing these legends for almost 10 years now (feeling so old 🙈)  and we’ve officially passed the friends for life mark. Needless to say we used the excuse of mine and Matt’s travels for a get together 🍹🍸🍾  and had a jolly old time in the second city: Birmingham.

Will miss you guys ❤️

Cati 😊

The day I left my job…

So today I left the glamorous call centre life behind. And it was a lot harder that I anticipated.

That time we did a quiz…

So after leaving our jobs and booking our flights we thought it might be a good idea to see if we were actually compatible travel companions! Thanks to mago.net for the quiz 🙂

Check out the video below to see if we’re still going travelling together 😂
