Our Europe and UK Trip - The Booking Process

Following our initial plan, which you can read about here comes the booking process. Since the majority of our trip (the tours) already cover accommodation, transport and certain meals. We only had to consider the following major things: Flights from Melbourne to Athens, Greece We spent the longest time searching for appropriate flights.

Our Europe and UK Trip - The Plan

My boyf - Chris and I have been planning our Europe and UK holiday for the last 8 months or so now (we actually started planning before we flew for our last trip within Asia back in December 2013). We have always wanted to travel to Europe and the UK so we decided that we should just make it happen. The planning has been far from simple but being a perfectionist has its perks - I've literally thought about everything possible - from flights to hotels to transport to food to pickpockets and sites to visit. You name it, I've researched...

Of Winds, Rain and Crazy Weather

I can't believe it's already August. Where did all the time fly to? Only 4 more months and we will be welcoming in the new year! Lately, I've been finding it very difficult to stop and spend time appreciating the things around me. I use to do that a lot but lately, I rush everywhere and everything is just a routine to me.

Neglected Space?

Wow, I can't believe it's been almost 4 months since my last update on here. As mentioned in my previous update, I went overseas for 6 whole weeks and struggled to come back to work and reality after that. Shortly after, I began planning my Europe trip - happening this September 2014. Super excited, I'm going to all the places that I've only seen on TV - namely, Greece, Paris, London, Italy :) and going to burn another big hole in my wallet but meh, who cares?? :P Just to inform you all, the reason I haven't updated the last few months is because...

December Update

Omg, excited! As we enter into December, I am getting more and more excited about my trip. Partly, to get away from Melbourne’s...
