I want to Travel

30th July 2019

To those who are no longer with me, 

I want to travel, and let’s face it, who doesn't? I want to go everywhere I can possibly can, and again, who doesn't. I love the idea of being free and I think travelling would give me that. Now don't get me wrong, it's not like I've not travelled, I've just barely travelled is all. I've been abroad twice in my life and for this wannabe free spirit that is not nearly enough. 

On the Last day in Cyprus, 2013

On 1st May 2013 I went to Cyprus for two weeks, which, as it was with college and we were tour military school and give workshops and putting on shows, was more of a working holiday than anything else. I was great, I loved it. I have so many amazing memories and photos, I'll see if I can find some to add to the end of this post, but, as much as I loved being there, it wasn't a holiday, it wasn't a destination that I had chosen for myself and it wasn't with the people I would necessarily like to travel with, it was with my course mates.

In October 2015, I can't remember the exact dates, I went to Gozo with an old school friend, her family and basically the local diving club, on yes, you guessed it, a diving holiday. Don't you for one minute, think that I know how to dive, I do not. So, why exactly was I on that holiday, I hear you ask. They asked me to to be apart of it as something called surface watch. I would keep a log of air levels, time of entering and exiting the ocean. Honestly, it was not the greatest holiday, as again, it wasn't really a holiday. I didn't even get the obligatory 'spend the day by the pool' day, and that really freaked sucked. 

So, in essence, I am travelled but neither time was ever for myself. I am grateful for the opportunities I was given, don't think I'm not, but I am very much a chill out and see the sights type of holiday-er. I literally just want to walk around and soak in culture. There are so many places out there that I want to go, I definitely have a travel bucket list: Sorrento in Italy, all of New Zealand and a Cruise along the Mekong River in Asia, road trip across America, live in Canada for a bit, go to Paris, to name a few. 

There are too many places to mention and thanks to Jane McDonald, I have a love of cruising, having never been on one. Oh, note to future self: a cruise would make a great honeymoon. Anyway, I want to travel, I want to go to the ends of the Earth and immerse myself in its beauty. Extreme I know, but the truth. I'm like a Hobbit, complete with height, minus the hairy feet and I'm just waiting for this worlds Gandalf to come and drag me off to nearly get burned alive by a dragon. 

Disneyland is on my list, obviously, every location every park. That is every Disney fans must. You just have to do it. The only think that ever stops me living my Hobbit dream is my lack of money. With me, money is always an issue. I am horrendous, it nearly always goes on makeup or clothes or food, mainly food. 

I'm useless, I know. I want to travel but only ever spend the money that is necessary for me to actually travel. I really do suck at life sometimes, but hey, I'll get there, I'll learnt to save, one day. I'll see the Northern Lights and I'll visit Hobbiton. I'll holiday with my girlfriends in Sorrento and I'll pay for my parents to go on a cruise wherever takes their fancy. 

I'm not worried because I know I will do it. I know I will get round to travelling, I have my whole life ahead of me and one day I will figure out the art of saving money, although the majority of it will still go on makeup, that will never change, but I will get to see the world, so for now, I'm okay with not going anywhere for a while. 

So, that is what you've missed.Love, always
