Over my last few years of near-consistent travelling I have rented a car whilst abroad on many occasions but last week was a little different as for the first time, I got behind the wheels myself and ventured out onto the 12 lane stretches solo!

You can take the girl from the beach………but only if you drop her off on a snow covered mountain!

Happy New Year everyone, I hope that you all had the best break over the festive period, I took a little bit more time off than I probably should have but I’m finally back in action and before I head off on my first trip of 2019 I thought I’d share with you a follow on post to my previous travel round up. 

Once again we’ve blinked and the new year is here. It’s been a whirlwind year for me in every sense but when it comes to travel I’ve had another amazing year of incredible experiences and world-wide adventures. I spent time in 24 different countries and ticked a few things off my near completed bucket list.

As a nod to the year we’re sending off I’ve narrowed my best experiences down to just 18, it wasn’t easy but here goes!
