2025 Travel & Trips

[-:Undertaker:-]

What're your plans for 2025 in terms of travel and trips?

I'm on PGCE this year so I'm sort of limited with money so have to be a lot more frugal, but still hoping to get away. I just went to Valletta, Malta with my Uncle and one brother for a few days which was very nice. Cheeseboards, wine, oysters and history. Chill.

I'm looking for something in the Easter holidays, possibly Rota and Fuengirola - two places in Spain where I have lived as it'll be nice to go back and see friends and that. But still not booked or confirmed for sure yet.

I'll likely do a trip to London at some point over the next few months too.

Later in the year I will likely be going abroad to work again but I have literally no idea where yet so could be anywhere.


How about you? Anything concrete or any ideas or ambitions?

I'm heading back to Egypt, such an amazing place! I’ve been a few times, and there’s always something new to see, like the Pyramids and the Temple of Karnak. I’m also thinking about the internet situation while traveling, roaming charges can get pretty expensive, and local SIM cards are risky (trust me, I’ve been scammed before). That’s why I’m sticking with this Egypt eSIM. It’s affordable and reliable, I used it during my last trip, and it worked perfectly. Highly recommend it.

Nothing out of the country this year. But I'll be going to Chicago to meet up with Kate & then right after I'll be going to San Diego, CA for a work conference.

Oh nice which one you going to, is it the adults weekend? Or did you steal a child?
I've only been to the Skeggy Adults weekend, think I went to Skeggy and Minehead when I was a kid though, met Stephen Mulhern at one of them, mum tells me I was besotted with him

Yeah 3 nights of it in Bognor, don't know that I'll survive at my age tbh. Going to see Oxide&Neutrino though who I've loved for ages... Daniel Bedingfield will also be there.

Yeah tbh anytime I've gone adults weekends at Butlins, we always said Friday night we'd go light, not too crazy, then Sat night is the main night so go hard, then Sun night go light cause gotta be up early.. This never works.. Always go hard all 3 nights.. and it's criminal they make checkout at 10am knowing full well you were plastered at 3am still.

I just booked my Easter trip... a week in both Banjul, The Gambia and the Petite Cote/Dakar, Senegal

Should be fun. Surfing, beers at the beach bars, dirty city markets, fish barbecues on the beach and slavery monuments! I paid about £450 for the flights (direct, return) and the hotels are quite cheap which I'll sort out this week. Friends and family might be joining me depending, but either way I will have fun. I'm going to get the ferry across the border and back is the plan at the moment. Will take me to a total of 33 countries.
