My aspirations for the upcoming year;

Hello Lovelies!

Today is a post about "getting things done" as it were - within my career and my personal life. 

I am very passionate about this blog and the love it receives, I've just hit over 2,000 views from all you lovely people, so thank you for that. 

But, I'm hungry for more now, so here's a list of what I want out of my blog for 2015-2016...

• Of course, I wish for my blog to get bigger, and to receive some more recognition from higher levels, for example, newspapers and maybe some celebrities (a girl can dream). 

• To receive over 5,000 views would be just delightful, showing people actually want to read my stuff and appreciate what I do.

• To attend a press launch for an upcoming film or book, it would be a great way for a small town girl like me to push her blog up! 

• To review more restaurants. Just because of yummy food and dressing up. 

• To work harder at pursuing my goals, it's not going to come and hit me in the face, I've gotta work for it. 

• To visit another country and write about it. Unfortunately, funds are quite low right now but as soon as I can I'll be on a plane outta here. 

• To experience new things. Eat weird things, try new shops, make new friends. Create memorable experiences for myself every time I walk out of the house.

There's so much more I want to do, but if I wrote it down none of you would have any surprises when reading! 

Also guys, write comments, positive or negative, a comment to me shows that people out there are interested! 

Tell your friends and family how awesome I am (lie if you need to).

Thanks for reading,

My travel bucket list:

Hello Lovelies!

For Valentine’s day this year, I bought my boyfriend, Elliot, a world map on which you could scratch off the countries you've visited. He’s a bit of an adventurer himself,  during March he was making his way to South Africa – lucky sod.

I’ve never been much of the adventure type, happy to sit on the beach in Cyprus rather than throw myself into things. However, since giving Elliot that map, I’ve been thinking about how much world there is out there that I’ve not even grasped. There are 196 countries on our beautiful Earth with vast cultures and indescribable experiences for everyone. So, I’ve given it a lot of thought and I’ve pulled together a list of the places I want to visit, and things I want to do. Enjoy!

TOP FIVE ADVENTURE SPOTS

5. Australia

Don’t you think that life down under is amazing and so relaxed? I mean, the colourful foods, the clear water and the accent?! Definitely want to visit this place, see the sights and meet a kangaroo. I'd like to take a trip to Fraser island.

4. New York City

Do I have to explain? The big apple has been a beacon for aspiring adventurers for decades, with its sleeplessness and grand architecture. My aim to try the two New York classics; a bagel and a coffee while walking around Central Park, pretending I’m Carrie Bradshaw *sighs* if only…

3. The Maldives

A tiny cluster of islands which happen to host the most romantic beach houses I’ve ever seen. The water is perfect for snorkelling and it’s definitely the worlds favourite honeymoon spot.

2. Amsterdam

This city is the pinnacle of freedom and culture. The architecture, the food, the people. It all seems like a Nordic fairytale. I’d like to visit all the vintage shops, museums and walk down the canal. How romantic…I hope Elliot is making notes!

1. British Columbia, Canada

There’s something you’ll have to understand about me. I am crazy for whales, particularly Killer Whales. One of the best places to go sea kayaking and see orcas in their natural environment. It’s just the most amazing thing and I can’t wait to visit.

I hope you all enjoyed that little list and maybe I’ve inspired you to visit some beautiful places.

If not, I’m sure you could just Google it…

Thanks for reading!
