7 Reasons Why You Should Visit Lithuania

Last summer me and the boy went on holiday to Lithuania.

That’s where I’m originally from and he was curious to learn about my roots, and I was excited to explore the country as a tourist. Even though I was born in Lithuania I haven’t lived there for half of my life and never actually spent any time in the capital (Vilnius) so was looking forward to add that to my travel list. I was really surprised that in the whole week we spent in Lithuania we didn’t come across any English speaking tourists, or any tourists who were close to our age group. It’s seems that Lithuania is one of Europe’s best kept secrets. No one out of my group of friends has ever been there or know much about it (apart from what I tell them).

I decided to write this post to introduce some of you to this gorgeous country, a country that I think everyone should visit and here’s 7 reasons why.

Holiday Bucket List : Southern France

Ever since I was a little girl I had a fascination with Paris, the city of love. I used to tell everyone that it was my favourite city and that when I grew up I was going to move there forever. I think the language is beautiful, I love french cinema, in particular some of the films from the French New wave era and fresh croissants is the thing I miss the most about not being able to eat gluten.

Austin Tx - My Experience After One Month Of Living Here

You might of read a post I published a few weeks ago where I shared with you one of my biggest life decisions so far and why I decided to do it.

It has now officially been a month since we moved and everyone has been asking me how I’m finding it.

Zadar Weekend Adventure - Things To Do

One sunny and very warm summer evening me and my friend Kate were drinking cooled wine on the terrace and decided that we needed a holiday. There and then we put a credit card to good use and booked a getaway to Zadar in Croatia. I am now so thankful for our spontaneity on that gorgeous sunny evening as it gave us the opportunity to explore, make memories and soak up the last of the summer sunshine. Below I share with you the things you must do if you visit!

Gdansk Weekend Break - Photo Diary

I love exploring and discovering new places, it’s pretty much my favourite thing ever along with tea and food. Weekend breaks are a perfect way to have a little adventure without having to save for months or quit your job.
I managed to find a two night weekend break to Gdansk (a polish city by the Baltic coast) flying out from Leeds (where I live) with a hotel for £53 per person. Yes, you have read that right. I found this awesome deal on Holiday Pirates which is fast becoming my favourite website for bargain getaway deals.

The Grainary Farm Getaway & Gluten Free Sunday Roast Dinner

Living in the city is great, we have bars, restaurants and shops on our door step but the one thing I miss the most is nature. Fresh air, trees, and the sounds of birds chirping. Unfortunately the one thing that can make going away for the weekend a little more of a challenge is my gluten intolerance. When the Grainary farm got in touch with me about their gluten free Sunday roast dinner I just knew we had to pay them a visit!

USA Road Trip - Hooverdam an Grand Canyon

Travel posts are some of my absolute favourite to read because I live in a permanent state of wanderlust. They're also my favourite posts to write and I plan to have many many more feature on sunnydei, however they are also the most time consuming and that's the reason why this post about my USA roadtrip has been left in drafts for a few months now.
Last March me, the boy and our three friends went on a two week road trip around California, Arizona and Nevada. It was a trip filled with uncontrollable laughter, breathtaking sights and delicious foods. 

The Lake District - My Favourite Place

I have lived in England for almost six years and in this time I've tried to go exploring and visit the seaside, new cities and little towns. In all honesty though nothing has quite matched up to The Lake District. I absolutely love it there, it is hands down my favourite place in England. The lakes are so beautiful that if it wasn't for the English weather I wouldn't believe that I wasn't abroad. The little towns and villages surrounding it are cute, colourful and full of character.

USA Road Trip - LA

In March me, the boy and our three friends embarked on a two week (16 days to be precise!) road trip around California, Arizona and Nevada. I have never been to America but California has been on my must visit list since I was 14. That's 10 years of day dreaming about this gorgeous state.

The first stop of our trip was LA. I was actually going to write a detailed post about everything we did and where we ate BUT my phone broke and I lost all of my notes (sobs) so I will try to do my best to remember what we got up to.

Birthday weekend and Ox Pasture Hall review

I have just turned 24. To be honest, I can't quite believe it yet, I still feel like I'm 21! It's weird to think that I'm pretty much almost in my mid twenties. In order to celebrate and to distract me from the fact that I'm getting closer to my thirties me and the boy decided to get away from Leeds for a couple of days.
I celebrated my birthday by the seaside and we had an amazing time. We went to Robin Hoods Bay, Whitby and Scarborough with an overnight stay at Ox Pasture Hall Hotel.

Barcelona City Break - Mini Adventure

Barcelona City Break

For the boys birthday in August I booked us a little suprise getaway to Barcelona. I booked it all on his laptop and the browser pre-filled all of my details however it used his phone number. The next day I had a text from him saying "Some guy just rang me about a Barcelona trip?" so yeah it wasn't a surprise any longer!

Thailand Adventure and Travel Advice Part 2

Two years ago I went backpacking around Thailand with my buddy Jake. Thailand is a beautiful country with luscious jungles, sandy beaches, amazing food and very happy, friendly people. Going travelling after I graduated was one of the best decisions I've ever made!

A Foodie Weekend in London

Last weekend we took a trip down to London, to celebrate Ol's (my darling boy) mums birthday, it was a weekend filled with lots of walking, sunshine and glorious food!

We visited the Borough market which sold so many homemade gourmet meats, cheeses, cakes, teas and everything in between! If you love food you should definitely pay it a visit. 

Quick Trip To The Beatiful Copenhagen

Last week I went on a quick work trip to Copenhagen.

We had a really productive meeting at Republikken, which is a really awesome creative working space/cafe where I had the best ginger beer that I have ever tasted!
