In November 2023, Lu and I decided to fly to Malta for a quick weekend trip. Lu had been before, but I had never been, so it felt like a good opportunity to try and get some sun in November and tick another country off the life list. The one takeaway I had was that […]
Note: I’m aiming to visit every single US state. To tick a state off, there must have been an overnight stay within the state! On the positive side, I was very pleased to be able to travel to Seattle, Washington for work this year, because I had never visited Washington state before, and thus, it […]
This is one of my longstanding life list items from the initial list that I wrote, because of course Venetian gondolas are iconic and legendary. It’s become an even more important life list item since I wrote it, given we’ve all become more used to hearing that Venice may not be around forever thanks to […]
While we were in Vegas for our April 2023 trip, we realised that Usher would be performing at his My Way residency in the Park MGM. Lu is a big Usher fan, so we absolutely had to get tickets! If I could describe the show in three words, it would be: sexy, energetic and a […]
As we were planning our 2023 Vegas trip, Lu found out that there was a county fair happening nearby while we were there. Now, an important thing to understand is that Lu is absolutely obsessed with going to specifically a STATE fair in the States, but she figured a county fair would also be great! […]
I’ve talked already in my previous post about our decision to have a whirlwind 24 hour trip to Iceland! But while the previous post was centred around the incredible experience of seeing the Northern Lights, this post is about ticking off an entirely separate life list item: swimming in the Blue Lagoon! The Blue Lagoon […]
Honestly, seeing the Northern Lights in person is one of the oldest items on my life list. As long as I have had a life list, I have committed to seeing them in person at some point in my life. So, when we decided to go to Iceland for 24 hours, I immediately got excited […]
We just got back from the most incredible long weekend trip to Oslo, to visit some friends who live there with their two children. We spent 3 days doing our own non-child friendly agenda, gallivanting around Oslo and 2 days with our friends. It was the best long weekend and we’ve come back from the […]
Oh my gosh, so 2022 has started off RIGHT with an epic holiday to paradise on earth: The Maldives! After a grueling 19 hour journey, we made it from London to our resort in the middle of the ocean – a slice of perfection where we would spend 10 days doing nothing but anything we […]
I graduated from Manchester University back in the 00’s! Just saying that makes me feel a bit weak. How am I this old, urgh. Anyway. I hadn’t been back properly since, and Lu also hadn’t been back to Manchester for a while after also having lived there at roughly the same time as me (although […]
