To Tokyo we go!!

I have some super exciting news. I booked my first proper holiday with Matt this year and we are off to Tokyo in May. Our big Singapore trip had to be cancelled last year which was a real shame and our 11 year anniversary is fast approaching and we are yet to have a big blow out holiday abroad just the two of us.

We decided last year that we wanted to go to Tokyo and decided that in the New Year we were just going to take the plunge and book it. We are out there for 10 days in total and I am really hoping to be able to still see some of the cherry blossoms.

I am super excited, but at the moment it is laced with nervousness. This is the first time I will be going to country with such a different culture and language without the support of lectures or family members. I often hide away from the unknown, but this is something I want to do deep down so I am pushing myself to do it.

We have plans while we are there, which include the Studio Ghibli tour, Robot restaurant, shrine festival, lots of shopping and Tokyo tower. We have lots of other things I think we will be adding to our list but I can’t wait to go and experience it all. We are staying in an air bnb in Shibuya a 5 minute walk from the famous Shibuya crossing.

Now it is just the count down to sit through and some serious saving and planning! I seriously cannot wait for May to come around!

Amazing new adventure plans - Singapore

I’m pretty a pretty untravelled person really. I’ve been to New York and Berlin with college and university trips. I have been to Disney Land Paris with my sister for my Birthday and multiple trips to France to stay with Matt’s Dad. Other than that I haven’t travelled much and I haven’t travelled much with Matt at all.

But I am craving going further afield and really experience something different, somewhere really really warm and just lovely. Matt and I decided to save for Florida and do all the parks but at the moment that seems like a life time away.

Matt’s brother moved out to Singapore two years ago and his Mum and Dad have both been out to visit him and it looks incredible out there. Matt’s Mum has been suggesting for a while we should go and we started to look into it.

Matt’s brother has very kindly said we can stay with him and we booked flights and I am so insanely excited about this! I’ve never travelled anywhere like this before and I am little nervous but so excited too! Whole new culture and a 17 hour flight is a little overwhelming, but I know it will be amazing. Now it is just a case of counting down the days until November and doing some SERIOUS saving!

They also have a Universal Studios there which I defiantly want to go to. That looks like a fantastic park. Not only that, but the whole city looked amazing and beautiful like a piece of art work. I am hoping to do a little shopping there too that should be fun!

Has anyone ever been, any tips of suggestion!?
