I spend many an hour trawling various holiday sites. I want to visit every last corner of the earth. I feel that travelling is the most empowering and most educating thing you could ever do, otherwise you aren’t open to new foods, cultures & lifestyles. It breaks my heart that some people refuse to leave England or worse still, expect all the comforts of home as soon as they set foot on foreign soil. Of course, travelling costs a lot of money. The time old quote of ”If travelling were free, you’d never see me again” rings many bells. I manage between 2-3 holidays a year, I’m on an okay-wage and own my own house and often people ask us how to save for your travel plans (and how the heck we can afford to go on so many holidays) so I’m hoping my tips can help you travel on your holiday of a lifetime and make your dreams come a reality.
To say we only went to Mexico for a week we managed to pack in a lot of sightseeing. One of the top things we wanted to do was go visiting Tulum, Mexico. We’d been told that the local buses ran every 3 minutes outside the hotel and for a mere 35 peso’s each and 20 minute journey up the road we would reach Tulum. Sadly, our rep told us that the best time to go would be 4pm as it would be quieter and less hot but as we arrived the first time around 4.20pm we were told that the gates were shut and last entry had already been. Feeling a little deflated we had a beer in the local bar and then set back off home reluctantly, but with a plan to get up early the next day and try again.
Bracelet & Charm C/O Links of London
I am a huge fan of Links of London, and I also enjoy the odd afternoon tea too which I’m sure you have figured from my Blog already. So when I got the chance to receive something from the Afternoon Tea Range with Links of London AND indulge in a little bit of cake, it was quite possibly written in the stars. How could one possibly turn down the offer?
If there’s one thing I love it’s food, and if there is another thing I love, then that is cute & quirky eateries. When I met the lovely Faith, Jenna & Carrie-Anne on Saturday before the #BlogAtTheBeach event, we headed down to the Grand Arcade to grab a drink and some food at Just Grand Vintage Tearooms Leeds. With it being Yorkshire Day, there’s something so quintessentially British about having a little afternoon tea (or tea at any time for that matter!) so of course Jenna & Faith decided to have a mammoth pot of tea between them. I rocked the boat and ordered a Rose Lemonade (I was thirsty for something cool!)
