2019: Prepping for a year of travel!
As I approach the end of one year, it's the perfect time to look ahead and see what 2019 has in store for me. The short answer is: lots more travel! Between my various work trips and holidays, 2019 will be spent on the move, but nearly always to places I love visiting. So far, ...
Sitges bound
Keeping travel costs low is basically all about planning ahead. So we've been looking at our return to Sitges for Pride in 2019 and, as soon as some flight deals came up, we pounced! We had such a fun time in Sitges at Pride this year that we were determined to go back, but also ...
Suffering beach withdrawal?
I had another beach dream last night, indicating to me (a psychologist) that I need a beach holiday ASAP. Because that's how science works and I have single-handedly unraveled the mystery of dream interpretation. Seriously, though - it was vivid. And super enjoyable. As usual, I was on a beach I thought I recognised, ...
I’m on the beach
It's one of those damp, grey and chilly Sunday afternoons where my mind wanders to travels past - and future. I dreamt last night that I was back on the beach in Sitges. It was another beautiful summer's day and I was just wandering down the shoreline, ankle-deep in the water. The sun was incredibly ...
With the sand between my toes…
I'm off to Sitges to celebrate Pride, get some sun and enjoy lolling around naked on the beach for the weekend...
My 2018 travel plans
Something I learned many years ago was the value of planning your holidays well in advance. Without time blocked out to do some exploring, work can easily take over and you're left with a fight over who gets to take leave and (potentially) higher travel costs for booking at the last minute. And when you've ...
Significant Sitges Sun
I'm just back from a long weekend in Sitges, feeling every so slightly broken. This is purely due to sleep deprivation - a series of very late nights with friends, combined with early mornings to get down to the beach. Stereotypes abound when it comes to Europe, but one holds true when it comes to ...
Sitges Pride, 2017
Well. That was an experience! Up until this month, I've associated Sitges with sleepy, relaxing afternoons on the beach and wandering through narrow streets hunting out decision Catalan nibbles. A very chilled out place. But spending a long weekend there during Pride was something very different! And if I'm honest, it was just what I ...
Tan maintenance conundrum
Having spent four days solid on the beach in Sitges last week, I picked up quite the tan. As in, every single person I’ve seen since I got back has been stunned at just how dark I’ve gone. I love lying in the sun. And it shows… After a massive breakfast in the morning, ...
Fairweather nudist tendencies
I've just spent a fantastic five hours lying in the sun at Platja dels Balmins, the beach next door to our hotel here in Sitges. It was bliss. Aside from the uninterrupted sunshine and the light, cooling breeze, I think it was the most civilised beach I've been to. Reflecting on it as I packed ...
