Five new places challenge

This year I set myself the challenge of travelling to five new places either in or outside the UK. I wanted to do this as a way of trying to explore new places and making the most of my free time away from my studies. I love making bucket lists and my travelling one seems to be never ending, therefore this seemed to be a good way to tick pff some of the places on my list.

1. Bristol
I knew I was going to be visiting Bristol sometime this year after being invited by my boyfriend to visit his family and hometown. My first visit was back in April which I blogged about here.


2. Exeter
My boyfriend is a bit of a foodie so we took a day trip one Saturday to the Exeter food festival, which was a great experience. I didn't blog about it as we didn't get to see much of the city itself outside of the food festival, except for a brief sitdown by the Cathedral and 15 minute wander round the museum before it shut. As Exeter isn't far from uni I'm sure we'll be making another day trip there at some point.


3. Dublin
What a trip. I think this trip meant so much to me as it was the first time I went on a plane and travelled outside the UK without the aid of a responsible adult, (well my friend is responsible of course but you know what I mean). My friend and I met up in Bristol and travelled over from there. It was mainly a sightseeing and walking kind of trip, and was a break I think we both needed. You can read about our trip here.


4. St. Ives
Where do I even begin describing St. Ives?! It is such an incredible place that my attempts of describing it won't do it enough justice. Since publishing this post I have blogged about my trip to St. Ives which you are welcome to read here.


5. Mediterranean Cruise
In recent years my Dad and I have started these 'Dad and Daughter holidays' where we take a week out each year and go travelling somewhere together. Last year it took me on my first cruise round the Mediterranean and this year we signed up for the next leg of the cruise. You can read about last year's antics here.
