Turkey

I had my first beach holiday in 2 years when I travelled to Turkey in June with my family. Read more to find out the best things about Turkey!


RELAX! 

This might sound extremely lazy but honestly my favourite thing about this holiday was the part where I got to do absolutely nothing. After a hectic few years this holiday was needed, and I took advantage of every minute that I had nothing on my to-do list. Of course, the weather helped as it enabled me to (try) catch a tan whilst I did one of 3 things: swim, eat, drink.

 

ALL INCLUSIVE 

I’d forgotten how good it was to have access to as much food and drink you could possibly have in the space of a week. This particular hotel had 2 chefs dedicated to just making whatever pasta you could imagine every single night and I was genuinely in my element. However, I’d say the downside of having free reign and/or no self-control would be waking up to a severe hang over every morning - nothing a swim in the sea and a Fanta lemon couldn’t fix though.

 

ANIMALS 

Although I’m hands down a dog person, I do love the cats on holiday - These cats were so friendly!. I can’t mention the cats without talking about Maxwell – I named him that – the puppy that I wanted to take home more than anything. He was a little golden retriever puppy that I ran into at the markets. I was wearing a top that had floaty sleeves and he bit onto one of them and literally swung from it until his owner had to physically unclasp his jaw from my top. Miss him so much and i didn't even get a pic of him :(.

As much as I’ve been enjoying my city breaks recently, I can never go too long without a beach holiday, hopefully more to come soon. Thanks for reading!

Amsterdam

  In November last year my best friend and I went to Amsterdam for a little weekend away. It was both of our first times in Amsterdam and we had the best time! As usual, here are a few of my must-sees in Amsterdam.                                                                               SCENERY This may be down to the fact that most of the Christmas decorations were up, but I loved all of the lights strung across the city because it gave the place a wholesome winter vibe which is my favourite. Amsterdam is different than any city I’ve visited in terms of the layout - we did get lost quite a few times while trying to get home but that was ...

  My most recent trip was visiting my friend Amy on her semester abroad in Milan a few weeks ago! The weekend went so fast and I loved every minute! Here's my favourite (and least favourite) not-so hidden gems of Milan!:   DUOMO  I’m generally never that fussed about seeing different tourist attractions as most of them don’t really interest me for more than a minute. However, stepping up the stairs from the underground station to see the Duomo actually took me by surprise. The sheer size of the building and the figures on each of the spires was breath-taking. We also went to a cute restaurant that served the best pizza ever so I was more than happy to be there - except I spilled it all down my dress and had to walk about like that for the rest of the day. Don't ask how you spill a pizza because I still don't know.   TOURIST TRAPS  As usual with any city filled with tourists, there is a fair share of tourist traps. The ice cream on the left is obviously...

Split

In April last year I visited Split in Croatia for the first time with my family for a well needed city break! Here’s a look at my favourite things in Croatia!.   ARCHITECTURE   I really loved Split’s whole aesthetic in comparison to anywhere else I’ve travelled to. It was very clean, but it also just looked very full of life if that makes sense. The buildings were very well kept and there were so many statues and monuments around for us to look at. I’m not sure if this is the same as the rest of Croatia, but I would love to go back and find out!   GAME OF THRONES MUSEUM  At the time, everyone in my family but me had seen Game of Thrones so naturally we had to go to the museum. I wish I had seen the show before visiting the museum instead of after, but it was still a good experience none the less. My least favourite thing about the whole trip was this haunting figure of Peter Dinklage.   QUALITY TIME   As cringe as it sounds, ...
