Not Just Another Holiday

Before we went back to college last summer, Aidan and I really wanted to do a short sun holiday, just the two of us, but being only just back from an albeit short but VERY expensive trip to Paris, we were on a really tight budget! We looked and looked through endless package holidays to Spain, the Canaries etc but nothing really took our fancy. While having one more look through Skyscanner before calling it quits, I found flights to Corfu in Greece. I had always wanted to go, but thought of Greece as a pretty expensive destination, picturing in my mind only 5 star honeymoons in Santorini or massive party holidays in Ios.

The flights to Corfu were roughly the same as to most of the other places we looked at, €180 return each I think it was, and after doing some research found that accommodation, food, drink etc could be just as cheap as well if not cheaper, plus the island seemed packed with so many in...

Before I start writing properly about my upcoming trips, I thought it might be a good idea to start my blog with a few short posts about of what I got up to last year (and also just to ease myself into this blogging lark). 2018 was an amazing year.

We spent 3 nights/4 days in this amazing city, and honestly it wasn't enough to do everything, but unfortunately we both had Uni to get back to!   Still, by staying in a really central yet cheap hotel, Link:   Hotel Ibis Centera Stopera , we managed to do loads and have an amazing time. To be honest, and you'll probably here me say this over and over, but havi...
