The Year of the Traveler

I'm not one for branching out of my comfort zone, instead I like to stick to what I know for the most part. How boring, eh? Well hold the judgement! One thing I do enjoy is seeing the world. As of yet I haven't traveled that far afield - I'd absolutely love to see America and Australia but right now I can't help but spend what could be my traveling fund on the delights I find on ASOS, Topshop and the like. I have seen the sights in 10 European countries though, and before February I'll be seeing two more.

I'll be celebrating two years with my dearest in January and we'll be spending the weekend in the beautiful Paris. We have both been separately before but with the short, and very reasonably priced journey on the Eurostar it was hard to resist! January can be quite a depressing month with the jolliest time of the year very much in the past and the unavoidable snow and cold on the way I'm so excited to spend the weekend filling myself up on crepes and cheese.

The obvious destination when wanting to avoid the bitterly cold and miserable England is of course, Iceland (?!) February brings four days in the land of the Northern Lights and the Blue Lagoon. I can't wait for this adventure which will include snorkeling in the Silfra Fissure in the National Park in Iceland and a hike around the Golden Circle. Re-read the first sentence of this post and this really doesn't fit my character but I need to be braver and this certainly is a step in the right direction! 

I'm hoping Summer will take me somewhere warmer so I need to start saving my pennies. Until then I must go and build up my thermals and thick sock collection ready for my arctic climate adventure. I'll make sure to take many photos along the way...
