Sunshine and shopping - as if you need more reasons!
Dodgy food and sunburn - we've all been there
Which European hotspots would you recommend?
Jen lets us in on the top sights of Cuba.
Don't faint - I'm still here. Just about. Sadly, I haven't run off to the Maldives where there's no internet access or gone to live with the koalas in Australia. It's all just a bit hectic at the moment as I'm just coming to the end of my degree course. If you listen, you may even be able to hear my stressful sobs as I painstakingly type out yet another essay. But, it'll all be worth it as in just a few short weeks I will be free!
Prior to my trip I found out that most people had travelled to Barcelona at least once or several times and absolutely raved about it. Therefore I thought I was one of the last people to visit! My trip to Barcelona was a last minute weekend away in March 2013. Barcelona is a surprising gem full of delights. So colourful, architecturally stunning and very friendly. Just strolling through the French quarter on a Sunday morning you witness the countless families and dog lovers out enjoying the many recreational areas plotted around the city.
As a seasoned traveller, you make mistakes.
Luckily after every mistake you make you learn from it (which I guess is the
silver lining to this cloud) but at the time there’s nothing quite as bad as
the blunder that has just befallen you. I’ve made my fair share of blunders,
and so have people I’ve met and come across along the road.
This time last year, I had all my summer travels booked up. All I had to do was concentrate on containing my excitement long enough to hand in my coursework and pass my uni exams. This year, however, it's a completely different matter. I'm about to graduate from uni, so my priorities have had to be re-evaluated for the time being. My current aim is to try and squirrel away as much money as possible for potential courses and work placements - easier said than done when you see travel agents wheeling out their best summer deals!
