Bucket list time!


Okii so I was watching idiot aboard 2 and was thing about my bucket list now when I was younger I had a list of things I wanted to do before I died on mi piczo web site and I went to see what it looked like and amazingly things that I thought I wouldn’t done until I had my own money and doing my own things and amazingly my list was completely ticked off witch made me feel like I’ve accomplished so much in my life but at the same time I was young they weren’t challenging things and there were stupid school kid ones also the list included:

Shopping in New York City (was my biggest dream)

Going to Florida Disneyland

Swim with dolphins

Get good grades in school

Be an interior designer

And then there were the stupid ones like skip school and lessons go to plenty of piss ups and I did all of the list above except be an interior designer but that’s what I’m in uni for so I’m working towards that :D

Now last year was the best year of my life so far and I know I have a lot of life left but last year not 1 bad thing happened to me only good things and to tell the true I didn’t want this year to come because I was too scared of it going back to be someone up there shitting on me but so far I’m still getting what I want in life someone last year decided I deserved a brake they really did I got all the grades I wanted and got my English GCSE after 4 year lol got into the uni that I wanted to get into went to new York witch was my biggest dream and then went on to have 3 more fabulous holidays including Cuba for 3 week and turkey for a week love the sun (in cubea I held a baby crocodile and sat on a real bull) I also turned 18 and had the best 18th birthday party with friends and family with my sweets buffet :D

I’ve done things in life that weren’t on a list at all in fact I never expected to or even thought on and I no I’m so lucky to do the things I have in life and I am very appreciative to my mum and dad for making all the things come true because none of it would have happened without them. X

So let’s get to my new bucket list :D

Apps that help!


I have been looking in to some really fun and useful apps perfect for traveling and can help in more ways than one. Perfect for on your phone, iPad or iPod or any other device that has the app system and best of all there all free! What means there always up to date with free updates and can removed when not needed and re installed when you do need them. 


Trip advisor: this one is good for all types of things including the state the obvious one to advise and help give advise on the best places to go stay eat and play! You can rate things to help other people and see other rates and rivews for all the things your looking at it also helps you find the best prices for things and shows on the map were the things are. I do think you need wifi to do all of this so that is a bit of a downfall but for pre traveling needs this could be really good to see how other people found there exspirince or stay. 


Viator: now this is my new fave app and website! You can search for any trips and things to do in any country with the best price and booking system with plenty of offers and sales on loads of trips and tours all the time when it's already got the cheapest trips on there. this is good to get trips sorted before you go at the best price or a last minute whilst your on your travels at a low cost price. You do need wifi for this but with lots of free wifi out there it's a good one to have if you love doing things. 


Track my tour: this is a brill one I can't wait to use this so excited about it!!! This is the travels dream to track your tour it does what it says it works a bit like a check in system you add the place your at be that on a train or a place adds it to the map with the weather that day pins it then you add the next and so on and so on and at the end you can see the whole trip on a map with the weather writing about that day in photoes. This is one you need wifi for but if you don't have it one day you could add both areas the next time you do. This would be good to keep people updated on were you are and were you been all the time I'm so using this! 


Currency: you don't have to just have this one there's plenty of free named brand currency converters this one is just what I picked and is a must have I think for traveling. Make sure you keep it updated! 


Expedia: there's planty of this kind of thing you could use not just this but a good one to have to get quick flights quite cheap and hotels near you for the best price incase you need somewhere to stay or a flight home quick for whatever reason wifi will obviously be needed to find things but it is still a good one to have. 


Triposo: this one is another fave of mine it's a travel guide but not just like your ordanery travel guide like a book with the best places to see and go to in the area with a bit of a map on the front page this does have all that but obviously always updated with updates obviously has the map to show you how to get to the places you want to and how with the distance, it has the weather updates, and all hotels and tickets and places to eat and to see you can add them to your wish list or to your have done list and best of all it's connected to viator to book the trips and things and has ratings and reviews to help you decided. Another good thing is it has translate options helps you with phrases and words need to get you sorted it has everything you will need to travel in this.  It's the best but you will need wifi for some of things needed on this but some will work without it. 


Cool cities: this is another travel guid one that is just that but is good to download just a set thing you need and use the offline mode to still read and see we're to go. 


I translate: this one is a must have for a long term travel trip if your not too good with languages but you could use any this is just the one I have. 


Tripit: this is a trip organisation app this is a good one for planning and organising your trips really good for those of you that aren't the spontaneous type and like things all planed out from place to place and time to time. 

So that's it I hope theese help and if anyone has any other ones that you think would be good to have or are really useful let me know I'd love to here about them.

STA travel review

STA travel is one of the best sites I've come across, I've always wanted to travel and do things but never new there was a company that could inspire me any more to do these things and its makes me want to pack my bag and go now! This site has everything you will ever need for traveling I'm planning for next year so I've started really looking and I've found loads of things I want to do and countries I never wanted to go to are now on the top of my list I love it. 

You can get just flights at amazing prices I may add its so cheap it's unreal and package flights to go to all different countries, tours in large or small groups if you want something more organised and planed some with meal included, day trips and activities, hop on hop off buses to get from A to B one side of the countries to the other some with trips and tours added in the price but free to do as and when you want, all other transport services like trains planes buses boats and the best places to stay and cheap with tickets available to have entry to so many hostels in a country so you don't have to worry about if your going off course you have somewhere to stay. There's also a blogging feature to let everyone know what your doing or how your travels went and they also sort insurance and cards that will be needed when traveling.

I haven't been in to a store yet but I will be shortly and update you all on how helpful the staff is but I'm sure they will be the web site is so helpful how could the staff not be. The site boasts offers all the time and student discount and for under 26's so I'm guna get an amazing deal on this I'm sure. On the site it says if you book a consultation with a travel advisor they will help plan and sort it so its at your taste so I can't wait to see I have a big list of places and things to do because of this site so I'm hoping to do as many as possible, so I'm going to have to get saving as much as I can wish me luck lol.
