Oslo Money Diary – 2 Nights In The Expensive City!
Oslo is somewhere that has been on my radar for the past couple of years. But there was always somewhere else I wanted to go to more! Until I was planning a meet up with some of my uni friends and it worked out cheaper to meet up abroad than in the UK. Crazy right!! Cue days of back and forth. The logistics of flying from three different places in the UK was a nightmare. Oslo came out the reigning champion and our flights were booked.

Dublin Spending Report – Is It Really That Expensive?
A few weeks ago, I spontaneously decided to book a little solo city break to Dublin after finding cheap flights on Skyscanner. I’d always wanted to visit Dublin but it had never worked out. Considering how close I live and my family’s links to the country, I’m shocked it’s taken 23 years to visit Ireland. After seeing the flights and already planning on being in the city they were from it was a no brainer. Especially considering I have a travel fund, fully funded ready to go.

I took the first 72 days of my gap year slowly and spent half my time housesitting across my home country and the rest spending quality time with friends and family. My schedule was so jam packed throughout my entire last year of uni so this was a perfect way to slow down. It was also a great way to begin travelling as I never more than 3 hours away from my base incase something went wrong plus I’d never been on an extended solo trip so I wanted to do a test run in a country I am very familiar with. Housesitting in the UK took me to places…

Wowcher Mystery Holiday – How Much It Actually Cost!
Back in January 2020, yes a lifetime ago, my mum and I embarked on a Wowcher Mystery Holiday. I paid for the holiday the previous August as a birthday gift for my mum. We finally got the call in September telling us where we were going and the dates. Incredibly by chance, we got assigned Venice, a place which had been at the top of my mum’s bucket list for decades and we were travelling the weekend before her birthday 😱. It couldn’t have worked out better!! I wrote a full review back in 2020, weighing up whether it is actually worth it for the £99 price point. To follow…
