Holiday Bucketlist - BLOGMAS DAY 10

Good day everyone! I hope you are having a lovely day.

On todays Blogmas post I'll be highlighting some places I dream of visiting in my lifetime. I've always been far more interested in visiting European cities than the wider places on Earth. However, there are a couple that stick out. So in this post there will be a few with a mixture of both. 

NEW YORK CITY

This is my dream and always has been since I was a tiny little human. Luckily I've met a boy who also wants to visit, my plan is that this will be our honeymoon destination. No hot, chilled holiday. I want a busy, jam-packed, sightseeing, unforgettable get away and New York will be the perfect place. If I could get up and move anywhere in the world it would be NY without a doubt. I was born for busy cities that never sleep. 

STOCKHOLM

I have visited a few places so far in Sweden - Jönköping, Malmo and Lomma - all quite quiet and sweet little places. I want to visit Stockholm to see what this part of Sweden is like, it would probably be the most touristy I would have ever been in Sweden. Rather than off my nut on overly expensive alcohol. It looks stunning.

Again, another dream since I was young. Although, I think if my life had panned out differently I would have gone travelling to Australia but god knows what my life would have been like then! I would love to go on a long holiday like my in laws recently did, they did a cruise from Australia to New Zealand and it looked great. I'd love to do that one day with Dan! 

CREMA, ITALY

Dan and I have a plan to travel around Italy one day and Crema is at the top of my list of places to visit. This little Northern Italian town is the home of one of my favourite films 'Call Me By Your Name'. That movie made me fall in love with the thought of Northern Italy, it looks gorgeous. Crema looks like the perfect little place to visit on a warm Summers day and it'll be a dream come true when the day comes. 

Now I'm sure that has brought some sunshine to your Winters day, have any of these ever been of interest to you? Let me know!

Blogmas: Day Ten!

Hiiiiiyaaa, how are we into double figures?! That means just 15 days until Christmas, I wish I was the man from The Grinch who does the countdown on the  clock, he seems like a great guy.

Last night we had our flat Christmas dinner and secret santa gift swapping! The dinner was a great success I must say, me and Molly used our initiative after I was super emo about having no pigs in blankets (how is it a Christmas dinner without?!) so we made our own and I felt like I had transformed into my nannie. We had stuffing, carrots, chicken and potatoes alongside the pigs in blankets and it was very nice! Oh, and a massive jug of gravy, possibly too big… 

Look at that jug of gravy, holy hell. 

Me and Molly had each other for secret santa how cute, I got her an eye mask that says 'Fuck Off' from Urban Outfitters and she got me a book full of Nutella recipes because since we moved in I've always had a jar of Nutella and one time they all shoved their fingers in it and it was an awful day. But the present was very sweet and I can't wait to make some of them! 

I was meant to go to class today but I didn't (oops) I felt awful this morning after my extreme lack of sleep so to refresh myself I went for a walk instead, got too Covent Garden and realised I was still too tired to walk any further so I got some mince pies from Marksies and came back to my flat. I just had a cup of tea with a mince pie to continue my extreme Christmas-ness. 

Now I'm going to go over my essays, potentially submit them tomorrow??!!! Then I can start packing my stuff up for going home on Saturday, PRAISE THE LORD.

Have a lovely day guys!
