Over the past 5 years I’ve been luckily enough to visit Europe 6 times you hear stories from fellow travellers and your bucket list just keeps getting longer. While I’m based in London I’ll be spending a lot of time travelling Europe (well, fingers crossed! ) so I’ve put my thoughts on paper and made a little bucket list of things I’d like to do over the coming years also taking into account the discounts available with the ISIC.

The discount card is recognised all over the world & offers a bunch of different discounts whilst away including tours, food, accommodation & even discounts on flights to get there through STA Travel! Westpac challenged us to test out as many activities as we could to make our travel spending stretch further & what better city to test it out than London - a place I've visited many times but always has something new for us to experience. We then caught the tube out to Grosvenor House at the Park Room, which overlooks Hyde Park - the perfect spot to experience the traditional British Afternoon Tea complete with cucumber sandwiches & a glass of bubbles! it was a lovely day in London & the sun shone down on us in the square - we even had a great spot for people watching & spotted Ellie Goulding with entourage in tow & followed by a mob of paparazzi.

While on our most recent travels through europe, we eventually found ourselves in London after a few crazy weeks in Germany, Czech Republic, Croatia and Montenegro. After a somewhat relaxing week in Shoreditch we decided it was time to make the big leap across the pond and fly from one major city to another - LONDON to NEW YORK! The way I felt in New York was the complete opposite to London - an extremely fascinating city but could only be taken in doses. Although I'm actually in the middle of editing some shots from when were in New York, New York recently - so stay tuned!

but it doesn’t compare to the feeling of the blood pumping hard through your veins as you hike along a vast canyon in the Andes, or feel the first rays on sun on your face as you watch the sun rise over Machu Picchu or even the goosebumps up your arms in a lively club as you accept a salsa lesson from a stranger. My sister was set on travelling South America and Machu Picchu had been #1 on my travel ‘must-do’ list for years! She saw the tour with G Adventures from La Paz to Lima and sent me the link There I am looking over Machu Picchu, bordering on tears and feeling absolutely, no-doubt-about-it, ALIVE.
