Brighton

Brighton is a fun, energetic and frantic place furthermore it’s perfect for when you want a trip by the seaside. I’ve been twice and both times I’ve driven. The drive may seem like a trek, especially from where I live however the journey is a pretty easy one. You could also take the train if…

The Grand-Eastbourne

How we ended up here is actually a funny story. I wanted to plan a weekend getaway for my sisters and myself near the end of summer. Immediately we thought of Brighton! We had been there before and enjoyed it, so we settled on that location. We booked the Grand Hotel thinking it was the…

Paris

I have a love-hate relationship with Paris. I’ve been there twice, once via the Eurostar and once on a plane. Both were trips for the day. The first time in 2017 was such a great experience but the second time in 2018, not so much. My sister almost got mugged when we were leaving the…

Cannes

Cannes is known for its annual Film Festival, luxury hotels, restaurants and the rich and famous. You can find cheap tickets as well as reasonably priced hotels outside of peak periods which also makes it a great getaway location. The journey was short and sweet with a comfortable, scenic train ride to Cannes after arriving…

Copenhagen

This was an impulsive booking made by 5 of us who refused to give up a £30 ticket! That’s right the ticket was £30, and it was the perfect day trip. The travel time is short and access to the city centre is a direct train ride away. Copenhagen is super low-key and relaxed which…

Monaco

Monaco was another day trip destination, we flew out early morning and got there in no time at all. From the airport, we took a scenic bus ride straight into Monte Carlo (a popular neighbourhood in Monaco), which is where the fun is at! The good thing about Monte Carlo is that it’s quite a…

Marrakech

Marrakech made me feel like I was on the set of the Aladdin movie. There is something about the place that makes you feel like you’ve been transported to a different era. The older parts of Marrakech are for more interesting and cultural than the city centre in my opinion. The first tip I would…

Amsterdam

This is the place where ‘day trips abroad’ started! I’ve been Amsterdam three times now, the first in 2017 and most recently in 2019. All three trips were for the day. The flight is super quick and then you jump onto a direct train from the airport into the city centre. If you purchase a…

Milan

I fell in love with Italy on this trip and vowed to go back to explore the rest of the country. You know that filter, the sepia tone one? The one that makes everything look warm, dreamy and like you’re in an old movie, well that is what being in Italy feels like. The journey…

Hong Kong

Where do I start to explain the beautiful chaos that is Hong Kong? It’s full to the brim with culture, architecture, food, shopping, people and skylines that will make you star struck. So, I’m sure you’ve heard about some of the scary events that have been taking place in Hong Kong as of recent but…

New York

Let me begin by saying New York was amazing in every sense, which is why it holds a special place in my heart. The travel there was super easy, we got a direct flight that felt quicker than it was and had a car service booked to take us straight to our hotel in Manhattan….

Dubai

When it comes to Dubai, it’s either on your bucket list or you’ve already been. I went to Dubai in 2015 and since then I’m sure a lot has changed in the ever-developing state. However, when I see people on my socials visiting Dubai they usually do all the things I did back then with…
