Wanderlust Series #6 City Break - New York, USA

Image
Hey! This is an exciting post to have written. I was lucky enough to travel to New York in October this year with my lovely uni friend, Lydia. New York has been on my wish list for years and years but it always seemed a little out of reach. So being given the opportunity to go, I jumped at the chance.  Lydia and I travelled from London Heathrow with Virgin Atlantic for 4 nights. We got early morning flights out and this was perfect as New York are 5 hours behind the UK so it meant that on arrival we could still go and explore for a few hours. Our return flight was a night flight, 22:30. This again, was perfect as we got a whole day in the city. I found that 4 nights/5 days was actually a really good amount of time to explore. You may already be familiar with some of the attractions available, however there is so much more. I'll break this post down into sections to make it easier to guide you through the trip... Eats & Drinks Personally, I found food h

What a  beautiful  city I recently travelled to Budapest for a hen weekend. It was amazing. The weather was beautiful, the city was stunning. I can't wait to go back! With the time of year it was, there were a few hens/stags going on, but no trouble. Everyone was super happy!  We had a great time, busy busy with our little schedule but it was so much fun. I couldn't keep up with the drinkers though. *sorry, not sorry* I do like a cup of tea in bed and i'm not cut out for hangovers anymore. Hehe. Here's a low down of what I got up to... Accommodation 7 Seasons Apartments - Budapest We checked in at our apartments, which were amazing. As there was a total of *17 ladies*, we had three apartments between us. The apartments were spacious, clean and modern. Each had a little balcony, lovely for early morning tea looking out over the city.  These apartments were in the centre of the city and walkable from many attractions.  What did we do?

Wanderlust Series #4 City Break - Berlin, Germany

Hello! It's been a little while since I last posted in this series, namely because I haven't been anywhere to post about...until now! So, welcome back to the Wanderlust Series, number three. We are visiting Berlin, Germany. This was my first visit to the city and it won't be my last. I loved it there and would encourage as many people to go as I can! In just four days we crammed in as much sightseeing as possible, went to a gig, and did a little shopping. For me, the time booked wasn't enough, an extra couple of days wouldn't have done any  harm and we would have pretty much seen everything.  I flew with Ryanair from London  Stansted , which took just 1 hour and 20 minutes. On arrival, we purchased 4 day  Berlin Welcome Card  with the information desk, costing €34.50 each. This covered travel on the overground, underground, trams and busses. Great value to for money, not only covering transport but provides discounts to many attractions. It is also highly conven
