Travelling times...

One of my absolute LOVES of life, is to travel, see new places, experience new things, meet new people from every walk of life etc. I've been to some amazing places, when I was younger I went to the likes of Spain with my family and college (studied travel and tourism) and when I was 18 I started doing the usual girly holidays..

The first ever abroad holiday I did with friends was Zante (Argassi) to be honest it wasn't wild, it was just with my best friend, her sister and mum, was a lovely week away in the sun! Shortly after that I went to Marmaris in Turkey with alot of my friends, it was possibly one of the drunkest weeks of my life. After Marmaris I then did... KAVOS, which is the best shithole I've ever been to, it is an absolute dive, but crazy!!! I loved my whole week there, I made one of the best discoveries of my life there a Kavos 'headfucker' has anyone tried these? There literally a pint of 8 or 9 spirits, topped up with the tiniest bit of juice, lethal. After Kavos I went to Kos which wasn't too wild, although still very VERY drunk!


Too much sambucca for life

Then last year I made quite a big decision, after toying with the idea for a good 3 years and hating the job I was in, I decided to become a holiday rep, but not the hotel rep, I decided to work on campsites, so after a really bad day at work I just thought fuck it and applied for a rep job, to my absolute shock I got a phonecall the next morning asking me to go for an interview the next week, so the following week I went for the interview and the next day got the best call of my life to say I had the job, they asked if I could fly out the following week and then my life changed forever.

So I spent April until October last year living in a gorgeous little town in the South of France, around 20 minutes away from St Tropez, working but playing very hard!

And this year I've been lucky enough to visit Lake Garda, Italy and Tuscany, Italy, working in Lake Garda for a few weeks and then Tuscany from April - October. This year I've seen some amazing places, Rome is beautiful!

After I finished work this year I went on a once in a lifetime holiday to America with some of my closest friends, we visited New York then Las Vegas followed by San Francisco and finally finishing up in Los Angeles.
