Singapore

by
On our way back from Australia, we stopped over in Singapore. We were meant to have a couple of days to explore the city but due to flight changes (we travelled just as Coronavirus was hitting the globe) we were limited to around 20 hours. When we arrived into the airport, there were airport scanners…

Rescue a wild animal
We have a pussy cat, Mia, who at the best of times is the sweetest thing alive. Sadly though, she does still have her natural animalistic tendencies and has been known to bring in the odd mouse or two. The (early) morning of VE Day 2020, she decided to bring us an unusual and unwanted…

Do the Old Trafford Stadium Tour
I am a HUGE Manchester United fan (and so is Alex now), and so the Old Trafford Stadium Tour was always a part of my bucket list; I’ve been here a few times to see matches, but never to look around! Alex’s sister lives in Manchester, and we went to visit her and her boyfriend…

Cairns

Our third and final stop in Australia was Cairns, to spend a week relaxing in paradise (and of course swim at the Great Barrier Reef). By this point in the trip, we were really starting to get that ‘we are nearly at the end of our holiday’ feeling and began subconsciously counting down the days…

What to Pack for a Winter Weekend in Tallinn
If, like me, you’re usually a pretty heavy packer then packing carry on luggage for a long weekend can be a struggle. My brain tells me things like ‘what if you want to wear that top you haven’t worn in 4 years’ and ‘ooh you’d better pack triple the amount of underwear – just in…

Because of the troubles in the world with Coronavirus, our trip to the city got cut a little short, so here’s how to spend 3 days in Sydney! We flew over from Adelaide where Scott’s cousin got married, and landed late at night, where we went straight to our AirBnB and went to sleep. Unfortunately,…

Doing a Skydive in Cairns
Doing a skydive has been on my bucket list from the very beginning (before I even met Alex) but as soon as we planned Cairns into our trip to Australia, she had decided we were skydiving here. She had seen friends on Instagram who had done Skydive’s here and knew it would be an amazing…

Our Sydney Engagement
On our trip to Australia in March 2020, we got engaged. It was relatively spontaneous as, although we had talked about marriage quite a bit (and I already had the ring), I wasn’t actually planning to propose for another few months. Just before we went away, I specifically told Alex (quite harshly, so she tells…

Budva

by
The final part of our amazing holiday was in Budva; we got another bus down from Kotor to spend our last couple of days, which took around half an hour. Although there is a lot more going on here in terms of nightlife, both of us preferred the tranquil beauty of Kotor, however it was…

Kotor

After a few days staying in Tivat, we moved onto Kotor which is only a 10/15 minute taxi ride away. It is one of the most beautiful places we have ever been to, and we are both eager to come back here to see it all again! Transport As I mentioned above, Tivat Airport is…
