Manchester

One of my favourite places to travel to in the UK is Manchester. It's a city I love so much and always get excited for the opportunity to go whenever I can. It was an interesting travel experience as we had a bus replacement on half the journey but the train ride was still lovely. There's always lots of nice views to see on the journey from Wales to Manchester.
It was raining a lot in Manchester so I made lots of good use of the Arndale to keep myself dry. Of course it's not ideal but as the typical British weather hits us we just have to keep calm and carry on as they say. Just put our coats on and deal with it. 
Stayed in the Travelodge in Salford Quays and it was very comfortable. Honestly this is the comfiest bed I've slept on for the longest time. I had a room to myself so it meant I had the whole king size bed to myself and it was honestly great. Ended up watching the I'm Celebrity finale on Sunday so it was very nice. Especially when the rain was pouring outside. 
I'm someone that always makes myself at home when I'm in a hotel. I'm always the first to unpack and put my clothes on the hangers. It's always nice especially as I'm staying for two nights, it's nice to feel at home even if it's just for a short while.
The view was alright as well. It could have been so much worse.
It also didn't help that I was suffering from a cold so my morning consisted of coffee and lemsip cause that's how exciting my life is. Getting high off caffeine and paracetamol in the morning. 
The best part about coming to Manchester around this time of year is seeing all the lovely Christmas decorations as well as going to the Christmas Markets. It's always a nice feeling and really does put you in the mood for Christmas time. I would highly recommend going to Manchester during the festive season because it's honestly the best.
Now, I'm back home in rainy Wales but I had a lovely time away and it feels good to have a couple of days just to escape from everyday life. I'm actually going back to Manchester in ten days time for Christmas so I'm very excited to go back again this month.

Let me know if you have any trips planned this festive season in the comments below. I would love to hear it. Thank you for taking the time to read my blog and I'll be back again tomorrow with another post. 

See you then.

My Future Plans

Image
Planning for the future is probably one of the most scariest things. Especially when you have an end goal but have no idea how to achieve that goal. Of course many things can go wrong and you're kind of terrified to take that risk. That's how I'm feeling right now. I have the whole Christmas and New Year off which is essentially going to be spent planning what I'm going to do next. I want to move out of my mum's house by February. I want to get a job or an internship which is relevant to my degree. As you can probably tell, these are some major changes for me and I'm terrified but also kind of excited. I'm itching to start planning and I have spent several hours looking at flats to rents these past few months. Soon though it's all going to be real. I know it's going to be scary and I probably have no idea what I'm doing but at the same time, I can't wait for it all to happen. Life is about taking chances after all and sooner or later I

30 Things To Do Before I'm 30

Image
I thought I would do one of those posts where I talk about things I want to do in the future and why not do a 30 things I want do before I'm 30 so I have about nine years to achieve these thirty goals for myself. It's also something I could look back on when I am thirty years old to see if I actually have achieved any of these things. Hopefully I will but we'll have to wait and see in nine years time. 1. Get my degree Now this is probably an obvious one as I'm in my third year of university but honestly after two years of doing university it would be nice if next year I could have a degree. I also thought I'd start this list with something I could definitely achieve (fingers crossed) before I'm thirty years old. 2. Visit Harry Potter Studio Tour/Harry Potter World/Both As I am a massive Harry Potter fan I would actually like to visit the studio tours in London or visit Harry Potter world in Walt Disney World because they look absolutely amazing and wo

Chapter Two

Image
The end of the longest month of the year to enter the shortest month of the year, except it's a leap year so instead of twenty eight days, we have twenty nine days. How exciting.  I've had an interesting first month of the year. I booked a once in a lifetime trip to Las Vegas and I'm also planning on booking a holiday to Ireland which is very exciting as I've never been to Ireland before. I think this year is going to be full of adventures so I'm looking forward to what this year will bring. It's getting me motivated to start living a healthier lifestyle though. Eating less and moving more.  I'm also still saving up on top of all the holidays, I hope to buy a car this year. I'm not sure what I'm planning on doing this February. I know there's Valentine's Day which as a single person is a day I detest, although I'm going to make plans and celebrate my single hood. Then of course there's pancake day which is always a treat. There's
