EUROPE
I never really do Blogmas because I honestly don’t have enough to say of quality for 24 constant days, but last year I introduced a 2016 in Review series where I rounded up the biggest parts of my year, dusted off with a full reflection on 2016 on New Year’s Eve, and (judging from my stats at the time) – it was pretty well received! So I decided to bring it back this year and add on an extra day, just for the fun of it. Starting off with one my favourite things to do – travel – with my 2017 travel favourites…
I tend to sporadically do a lot of weekend/short breaks here and there – for e.g. this year I’ve spent a few days skiing in France, some time exploring Budapest, and a weekend in Amsterdam. But when it comes to picking hot summer destinations I become a lot more indecisive – there just seems to be way more options! My boyfriend and I originally settled on a trip to Santorini, then started bouncing between Santorini and Mykonos, but somehow landed on Barcelona. Barcelona was the plan for a while – but one day I had a dream about Venice. Right – so now we were going to Venice. We got very, very close to booking Venice, we even had flights picked out, but somehow my mind wandered back to Barcelona. After all – I’ve been to Italy twice, but never Spain. I’m British – therefore Spain is the most basic b*tch holiday – so I absolutely had to wipe that off my to-do list. Barcelona it was.
