Our first time skiing in Mayrhofen was back in December 2013 – Rob’s first skiing holiday! We loved it so much we returned for Easter 2016 with our friends Joba and Charlotte. Our journey to the mountains- making travelling cheaper! Ski trips are SO expensive in the school holidays and therefore we are always looking
I love scuba diving and having dived in Turkey, Cuba, Thailand (Koh Tao) and Indonesia (the Gili islands and Komodo), clocking in around 35 dives. However, I have begun to feel the more I learn, the less I know! My parents encouraged me to start scuba diving whilst on holiday in Turkey when I was 16 and being a keen
There is no way I could normally afford a First Class ticket to New York, but after months of saving BA air miles, we finally had enough. We travelled out first class and business on the way home. Our flights set us back around 120,000 air miles on a 2-for-1 voucher and still cost £500pp
New York is a city brimming with things to do and places to see. We were keen to make the most of our 5 days so started by labeling a few of our “must-sees” on a map. This helped us have a better idea of where everything was located and which places we should plan

There are lots quirky things to see and do on Nusa Lembongan. The island is much bigger than the Gili’s but it is easy to travel around the whole island on a moped (with one main road covering the length of the island). We spent a day exploring which gave us another day to go
It can be difficult to plan to visit specific restaurants when going on a city break. Especially if you don’t have much time/have lots of things you want to see and do. However, we have never felt disappointed when researching, finding and dining in a specific restaurant that has caught our attention before the trip.
I love Wimbledon… I actually enjoy watching most sports but there is something magical about that place. I used to love watching Wimbledon on the TV but it is so much more exciting in reality; the atmosphere around the grounds is incredible! However, as a teacher, it’s pretty much impossible to go to Wimbledon other than on
Our trip to Paris in May half term was organised around going to the Roland Garros (French Open) tennis, which can be read about here: My guide to the French Open. However, we made sure we also had a couple of days to explore the city. In order to make the most of our two sightseeing days
