I already know what my next holiday is going to be and I haven’t even got the money to hand to put the deposit down for it yet!!!
In two days’ time I will be in hot, sunny Lisbon and I for one am OVERJOYED by this fact.
Y’all better keep me updated on all the Robron content/spoilers and Emmerdale stuff in my inbox and messages, though!
Wanderlust Tag!!
The Wanderlust Tag
1. Most treasured passport stamp?
Probably either France because it was my first holiday out of the UK, or Australia because it was a once in a lifetime holiday
2. Can you recite your passport number?
I didn’t even know we had passport numbers so nope :’) tbh I havent looked at my passport in ages cause I havent been anywhere that I need my passport in ages
3. Preferred method of travel: planes, trains or cars?
Now that I have one of my own, car for sure!
4. Top 3 travel items?
My phone (& charger) because it is my camera and music source, headphones, and sunglasses
5. Hostel or hotel?
Hotel! I have never had to stay in a hostel so I have no experience of what they’re like, but from what ive heard I don’t think I would ever stay in one.
6. Are you a repeat visitor or do you explore new places?
Personally I like to go to the same place because my anxiety goes cray when I go to new places, even if it is for a holiday. Saying that though, ive never been back to anywhere I went on holiday outside of the UK. The only place I would probably go back to is Australia or Greece.
7. Do you read up on your destination (culture, history, safety) or do you just wing it?
Definitely read up and research. I hate going somewhere and not having an idea what is around and what were going to do there. Im not one of these people that can go on holiday and just sit in the sun all the day with a book, I need fun stuff to do.
8. Favorite travel website?
I don’t have one..
9. Where would you recommend a friend to visit and why?
If they wanted to stay in the UK either places in Bournemouth like Swanage or Poole because they are my favorite places in the UK and I holiday there every summer, or Blackpool if they wanted plenty or stuff to do. Outside the UK, either Disneyland because who wouldnt love Disneyland, Paphos in Cyprus, or anywhere along east coast Australia. Probably Port Douglas, Sydney or Noosa were my favorite.
10. You’re leaving tomorrow, money is no option. Where are you going?
Either back to Australia because I doubt I’ll ever be able to afford to go back, or tour around America… especially DisneyWorld!! :)
