THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO MARSEILLE

This summer, I got the chance to check another item of my list. Travelling with one of my closest, childhood friends. Jackie and I have been friends, Jesus, since I can remember. We've known each other since we were like 6. We grew up together back home in Ghana. We lived in the same neighbourhood (sort of), we went to the same church, our parents have known each other (I'm sure) before we were even born. We went to the same school up until high school, then I moved to the UK and we lost contact. 

But somehow by magic (and I really, truly mean by magic) we met up again in University. I had no idea at that point she'd moved to the UK and the odds of us attending university in the same city and bumping into each other by accident was very small. I'll have to go through it in detail another time but we've been planning (since we were in University) to one day travel together. But work, adulthood, circumstances and just life in general got in the way!

But this year, we finally made it a REALITY!

How to spend a week in Wexford, Ireland

I like travelling (as do most of us) and usually when I travel, I like to get my money's worth. I have a filled pack itinerary with trips to museums, city tours, boat rides and countless excursions. Every minute is planned out as to not waste the day. But what I've come to realise is that sometimes it's just nice to take some time of and do nothing and that's exactly what I did for my trip to Wexford and I enjoyed every moment of it. 

The Wedding, The Dress & The Countryside

Had an amazing time in Worcester last weekend (well Monday to be precise). Attended my ‘brother-in-law’s’ wedding which was an absolutely beauty. Nothing too sophisticated or over the top. Just a beautiful, simple wedding and the location was to die for! I love living in tiny villages and countryside so this was a fantastic 3 day getaway for me. I don’t know what it is about the countryside but I find everything about it to be so magnificent. I love being in the open fields and driving miles on end. The air feels cleaner and fresher and nothing beats seeing animals grazing in the field as you drive past.

TRAVEL DIARY | What I've recently been up to!

So I tried to go down the route of posting consistently twice a week - every Tuesday and Sunday but for the past month or two I haven't quite managed to do so because I've had things creeping into my schedule all the time. I've been really busy with my second job and also been travelling quite a lot. By no means am I making excuses but I thought I owed you guys an explanations as to my untimely disappearing act. 

First things first, I'd like to take this time to say a massive thank you for helping me reach 20,000+ views. It was such an amazing feeling waking up last week Monday to see this. My goal for August was to get to 20k and I cannot believe that I reached that, especially since I didn't post as much during that month. So THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU A MILLION! You have no idea how much this means to me :) Let's get to 30,000 views this September XD

TRAVEL DIARY | A little slice of BULGARIA

This was indeed a well deserved break. Stayed at the Marina Royal Palace Hotel in Duni, Bulgaria. It was absolutely stunning. It was a five star, all inclusive hotel, about an hour away from Burgas Airport and we were there for exactly 7 nights. Enjoyed 5 days of amazing weather (it rained the last two days but at least we had a beautiful firework display the last night, which made up for it), sunbathing and relaxing by the pool and a few dips in the black sea.
