Hello there! Happy 2017. How mad is that? I finally took the wrapper off my 2017 diary this morning and got all nervous, where does time go? Anyway, today's post is a 2016 round-up.. of sorts. Travelling is one of my favourite things in the whole world (that and googling pictures of Paolo Nutini to stare at), so I thought I'd put together a little post on my top travel moments of 2016. It was such a fun one to write, and friggin crazy to see them all laid out together, I hadn't quite realised I'd done quite so much! So, without further ado:
THE MALDIVES




Ah, the Maldives. You all knew that was going to be in there, didn't you? It's somewhere that had long been on my bucketlist so it was a wee dream to finally tick it off, and with the best company in tow too. I've already done a million and one posts on my time there so I'll link those below for you in case you fancy having a read!

BALI






Bali was very maybe my favourite trip of 2016. Again, it's somewhere I've wanted to go for ages and was booked on a total whim. We stayed in Ubud, Lombok, Gili Trawangan and Seminyak and did a million and one things, one of my favourites being climbing Mount Batur for sunrise. Seriously, seriously hard on the ole thighs but worth it for the incredible views (and monkeys) at the top. It's one of those places that from the second we left I was already doing a little cry over wanting to go back; both to explore the places we didn't manage and to re-visit the amazing places we did do. Don't you worry, Bali, I'll be baaaaack.
BARBADOS
Barbados... again, probably not a surprise. I've professed my love for Barbados a million (billion) times on here, so I'm sure you'll all know how happy I was to go back to my little haven for a couple of weeks out at the beginning of the year. Again, I'll link my posts below for you as I've pretty much written a book on my time there.

EDINBURGH
Not quite as exotic as the others, and obviously I've been to Edinburgh a million times living so close, but climbing The Crags was again something I'd wanted to do for ages, so that finally got ticked off this year (and with a nice little champers at the top too).
LONDON
I'm always up and down to London for work, but two trips that really stood out this year were my stay at The Dorchester and my trip down for a LFW shoot with Accessorize. The former was ridiculously incredible, all shared with my little Amby, and left me dreaming about that breakfast for months to come, and the latter was more of a 'take myself out my comfort zone' thing that turned out to be an amazing day with one of the best teams ever.

BERLIN
Berlin was a real 48 hour whirlwind and one where everything worked against us (everything had decided it would be a good weekend to close) but what I did see I absolutely loved, and it's somewhere I'd definitely like to return to this year.
MIAMI

CALIFORNIA
In-keeping with the America theme is Cali! Somewhere I apparently liked to sit down a lot. As you know, I spent 10 days exploring everywhere from Los Angeles to San Fransico with TrekAmerica back in June and it turned out to be hands down one of the best experiences I've had. I've done a little summary post but my big whopping ones will be coming at you in the next couple of weeks so I won't say too much else about it in the meantime!


And there we have it, some of my highlights from an amazing year! Why I'm already so pale again I don't know. I've got a couple of trips lined up for January (which I'm mucho excited to share) and there are so many more places I'd like to tick off my buckletlist, from Hawaii to Jamaica to St Lucia to the Bahamas to Australia and New Zealand to Italy to anywhere I haven't been already, really. The world is our oyster! Or so that graphic tee I just bought tells me anyway.
Now, I have a little question for you. Where's the best place you've travelled to and where would you most like to go next? Basically I'm fishing for ideas for myself, yes.

I went to Barbados when I was younger and absolutely LOVED it! We visited the Sugar Cane factory which was awesome and the weather was just the best.
Bali is one that's definitely on my list - I've seen and heard so much about it from other people that I'm now needing to book a trip. Looking forward to seeing your travels this year!

Your photos are absolutely incredible - you went to some amazing places in 2016, what an opportunity of a life time!

Oh man, your photos are absolutely incredible. You've literally made me want to hop on a plane, like now, and jet off to somewhere exotic. Really want to get some travelling under my wing; done a little bit, but not as much as I had hope. But dreams are achievable, I just got to believe it! :)

Best place i've travelled to is China! And next - everywhere!!! x
There are too many places I have loved to choose from! If I had to pick a few though, it would be Montepulicano and Venice in Italy, the Loire Valley in France, Penang in Malaysia, Laos, Savannah and Charleston in the USA, and Prague. I feel like I'm probably forgetting some favourites though!!
Next - I'm not sure! I've just finished my degree and think I'll probably spend most of this year travelling - at this stage I'm thinking of starting in Russia, Austria, France and Italy, so we'll see!
