Scuba-Diving in Crete, Greece

Scuba-Diving in Crete, Greece

Scuba-diving is something that has been on my bucket list for a very long time, but numerous things have put me off, including issues with one of my ears which I thought would never cope with the change in pressure. HOWEVER, whilst in Crete, we were persuaded to give it a try, so here IRead More

.

This weekend we have a four day weekend. With that we booked an @airbnb and hired a car, and 8 of us have come on a road trip to #Oman 🇴🇲. A five hour journey took us a mentally exhausting 13 hours, including standing in a line for 4.5 hours at the Oman border. We left Al Jeer at 8am and arrived at our air bnb in Al Seeb at 11pm. .
.
BUT it was so worth it because Oman is beautiful, and it's been an amazing feel days so far, including this visit to the Grand Mosque in #Muscat. I've so many photos to share of our little trip 🇴🇲
Instagram post 2184733121373907596_5783793366 Waking up at 5am to head to the beach for a surf at sunrise was so worth it (even if it was on a paddle board). Having never surfed before, I was pretty proud of how well I did and even managed to stand up on my first try! 🏄‍♀️
Instagram post 2184063567186614794_5783793366 I know Halloween was nearly a month ago, but I can’t not share this cute picture of Zya and I with our work mum 👩‍👧‍👧
Instagram post 2183673606922754324_5783793366 I will never get bored of this view ⛰ the mountains to one side and the water and marina to the other, and it couldn’t be more beautiful 🌅
Instagram post 2182593078974748985_5783793366 I’m going to BUDAPEST for Christmas 🇭🇺🎄Just changing ur up a little bit, with a more winter themed post, which is the complete opposite of the UAE right now when I’m sat in shorts and a tshirt. But, as most of you know, the original plan was to go home, back to the UK, for Christmas, but expensive flights and the need for a little getaway has meant that I’m now heading to Budapest from the 22nd to the 26th December! What’s even better is that I’ve managed to persuade my mum to come out and meet me too, so I’m spending Christmas with my best-friend in Budapest. I opted for a cold country, as I genuinely miss the cold weather a little bit. I just want to be wrapped up in so many layers and feeling festive, which definitely isn’t the case out here in the UAE. I’ve heard so many good things about Budapest and I’m counting down the days until I’m reunited with mum ❤️ then the plan after Budapest is that I’m flying with mum back to the UK, and maybe staying for three days before flying back out to the UAE for new year. I haven’t booked my return flight yet, as I want to see if anyone else will be around in the UAE for new year first before I confirm anything but I’m soooo hyped 💃🏻
.
.
So, if anyone has any recommendations for things to do, see, places to eat and drink etc in Budapest please let me know! 🇭🇺
Instagram post 2181825167670754685_5783793366 [#AD - #Gifted] When I’m back in the #UK next month I’ll definitely be heading to my local @sainsburys store to pick up some more of these tasty dried fruit and nut snack bags from @gloriouslygrown. I’m CRAVING the Filipino bag right now, with dried pineapple, papaya and mangos. Someone send a packet out to me please!? 🍍 #LetYourTasteBudsTravel #DiscoverToday #GloriouslyGrown #Taste
Instagram post 2181080970785318135_5783793366 Since moving out to the #UAE, my appreciation for the outdoors has become even greater. I can’t wait to explore more of this country and see what else it has to offer 🇦🇪

We are currently preparing to possibly be hit by another storm, the rain has just started coming down, so everything is a little up in the air right now with schedules changing and trips cancelled. Just another day in the UAE I suppose 🤷🏻‍♀️ fingers crossed the storm doesn’t hit as hard as last time but all we can do is be prepared (fingers crossed for no flood this time🤞)
