Hi, I’m Rachel! I’m 35 and still have no flipp Hi, I’m Rachel! I’m 35 and still have no flipping idea what I want to do for the rest of my life! Anyone else feel the same way?! Feeling all sorts of societal pressures that I should have my sh*t together in my 30’s. Well I don’t. I’m enjoying life far too much without a plan. I like to chop and change direction, go on adventures and not get tied down to things. The annoying thing is, I like to plan things. I’m a planner - but I want to plan fun things. My priorities have changed somewhat over the last 10 years. But they’re things like staying in nice hotels compared to hostels etc. Not actual adult things. I want to have a variety of jobs in my life - a collection if you will. I want to experience so many exciting and new things. Learn new skills and meet new people. I always envied those who always knew exactly what they wanted to be. It’s hard not knowing. Because you think you should. All the top 10 under 30 lists drive me crazy. But in reality you don’t have to have it all together and that’s O.K I love hearing story’s like how legendary comic book creator Stan Lee, for instance, did not create "Fantastic Four" until he was just shy of 39. Julia Child wrote her first cookbook at 50. Vera Wang didn’t enter the fashion industry until she was 40. So if you feel like me you are not alone! 🥰
Orange you glad I’ve introduced you to Sóller. Orange you glad I’ve introduced you to Sóller. It’s such an orange-inal place to visit! 🍊 In case you hadn’t guessed it, Sóller is known for the production of oranges.🍊One of my favourite things to do travelling is to taste the local cuisines and luckily all of our hotels served up freshly squeezed oranges for breakfast. Of course I had to taste orange gelato too - it was delicious! If you look closely you can see the orange trees in front of the church. This square was 30 seconds from our traditional hotel in Sóller. It is home to an array of wonderful restaurants that hug the edge so you can watch the antique tram drive through the middle! It’s a pretty spectacular sight every 30 minutes. Are you a fan of local cuisine when you travel?
How to pack hand luggage only for a 7 day trip - S How to pack hand luggage only for a 7 day trip - Save for tips! On our trip to Mallorca Phil and I both travelled with carry on only. But the super budget carry on- where you can only fit the bag under neath the seat in front of you and not in the over head locker. We flew with Ryanair and to save money on luggage we didn’t pay for any. So how do you pack for an entire week and fit the bag underneath your seat? Quite easily! You just have to be mindful of what outfits you will actually wear and need. I took 7 dresses/skirts, 3 bathing suits, a sarong (@club.kokomo made my one in this pic), two pairs of shoes, toiletries and under wear. I even had space for more. My husband Phil on the other hand didn’t even end up wearing half his clothes. One of the perks of visiting a hot destination is that you don’t need big bulky clothes. When you spend a lot of time by the pool or in the ocean a swim suit will be enough. A sarong works as a skirt and a towel. You can always wash clothes in the hotel room sink if you need to and they will dry quickly in the heat. The other perk is that you don’t need to waste any time checking in or waiting for your luggage when you arrive. This makes travelling so much more relaxing. Most of the time we are able to put our bags in the overhead locker when we board anyway as there’s always space. We flew to Venice once for £5 each way, because we didn’t pay the each way to bring a bag. You just don’t need it. Plus if you travel with kids there’s so much free luggage allowance that you can get so it’s possible for everyone. Do you fly hand luggage only or do you bring more?
Welcome to beautiful Deia 🍊 Deia is a very sma Welcome to beautiful Deia 🍊 Deia is a very small hilltop village located on the Western coast of Mallorca. Made famous for Richard Branson’s seal of approval (he named it the most beautiful place in Mallorca and even bought the La Residencia Villa, a luxury hotel that costs 💸) and the local “beach”, Cala Deia was the filming location for scenes in Tom Hiddlestons - The Night Manager. The town consists of stunning stone buildings with winding little alleys perched on the mountain side. Here are my top tips for visiting Deia: 🍊 You can catch the public bus number 203 from Palma here, it also goes to Port De Soller and Soller. This is the scenic route that clings to the cliffs edge, very Amalfi coast like. The roads are little hairy to drive yourself but if you feel upto the challenge it only is a 20 minute drive from Port de Soller. 🍊If you want to visit the beach, be prepared for a long walk or be brave and drive down. Known for being incredibly busy, slightly nightmarish to park but offers an ocean front restaurant to eat (the one from The Night Manager) 🍊 We explored the town in exactly 1 hour, without stopping for lunch/drinks so it really is small. If you want be fancy you can visit La Residencia for a sunset dinner as a non resident. One Google search will convince you to visit. Stunning 🤩 Do you ever visit places that have been made famous by celebs? If so where?
3 Reasons why YOU need to visit Port de Soller, Ma 3 Reasons why YOU need to visit Port de Soller, Mallorca 1. The port is located in the Tramuntana Mountain ranges and so has absolutely insane views. With hotels located on the beach front and up on the hills no matter where you go you will be greeted with photogenic spots. 2. It is only 30 minutes away from Palma the main international airport in Mallorca. You don’t need a car to get here or to use when you are here unlike other places in Mallorca. The public buses run frequently, are cheap and allow you to visit neighbouring towns like the famous Deia in less than 20 minutes. 3. There is accommodation for all ranges of budgets and literally everything you need is located in one spot. I can’t remember the last time I went on a vacation for one week and didn’t feel the need to explore somewhere else. This hidden gem is an absolute must visit - far away from my perceived notions of what Mallorca was like. (The last and only time I visited was on a package holiday to Alcudia when I was a teenager and the main aim was to sunbathe and drink) Have you been to Mallorca? If so where’s your favoured spot to visit? And if not are you convinced to visit?
Our first International Trip in 18 months!!! We ju Our first International Trip in 18 months!!! We just visited Mallorca and had the most insane week! I am going to share all about what we did, how easy it is to travel right now and all our tips! We travelled from the UK and currently the Balearic Islands are a green list country which means when you travel you need to do a few things: 1. Before you depart you either need to do a PCR test 48hrs before travel, show a covid recovery certificate or show the NHS Travel pass to prove you have had your vaccination (both jabs) atleast 2 weeks prior. 2. Fill out a passenger health locator form for Spain before you leave as you show the QR code it generates at the airport when you arrive. 3. Before you come back you need to book a PCR or Antigen test at a private clinic and do this 72 hours or less before flying. We used 15minutetest.com and it cost €30 for an antigen test with results within 15 minutes via email. 4. Book a PCR test for day 2 of your arrival at home. You need to book this before you travel home as the information is needed for your passenger locator form you complete for your return to the UK. We used Randox, it cost £43 using discount code FLYRYANAIR. Double check the UK gov website for updates as it is constantly changing and make sure you book private tests, we saw a few people denied boarding for trying to use NHS tests. UPDATE *** Mallorca has been moved to the Amber list just a few hours after I posted this so new rules take into effect from Monday. If you haven’t been double jabbed then you will need to do a day 2 AND day 8 test - both can be booked as a package from Randox. You also need to isolate for 10 days which sucks. If you are double jabbed it’s still treated as a Green country from Monday 19th. Phew 😅 travel certainly is tricky right now. Do you find travel tips like this useful?
