One of my favourite trips last year was a quick br

One of my favourite trips last year was a quick break to Armenia, which I took after a week in Georgia 😍 Armenia had always been on my list due to its stunning landscapes, beautiful monasteries and interesting history. I had the opportunity to spend three days there before flying back from Georgia and I’m SO glad I did 😍
✨
I did a tour with @armeniaexplorer, a local tour guide I found online. It was just me and them on an awesome little private tour, which meant I could take all the photo breaks I needed 😝 plus Armine was always willing to help me with any photos!
✨
This is probably one of the most iconic views in Armenia. Khor Virap is a monastery that dates all the way back to 642 😱 and behind it you can see Mount Ararat, a snow-capped dormant volcano that is actually located just across the border in Turkey. Mount Ararat is considered a sacred mountain by Armenians and is actually depicted on the coat of arms of the country. In the future, I definitely want to go back to Armenia for longer! There are so many other places I would love to visit in the country, such as Tatev Monastery, Lake Sevan, Garni Temple and Geghard Monastery.
✨
Where did you go last year that you would love to visit again in the future?

I’m missing autumn foliage this year so here is

I’m missing autumn foliage this year so here is a throwback to autumn with @solarpoweredblonde a few years back 😍 this house in Hampstead Heath is absolutely stunning! The facade just goes bright red in autumn 🍂 and it’s a sight to behold 😍
✨
We were supposed to go to Boston in October (originally May 😂) and we were super excited about seeing all the fall foliage in New England, but obviously that has been postponed until who knows when 🤷🏻‍♀️ we have been talking about where our next big trip would be, whenever that’s possible! Some places on our list include:
• Canada 🇨🇦
• Japan 🇯🇵
• Germany 🇩🇪
New Zealand would also be there but I want to be able to drive before I go back 😁
✨
What destination is/will be top of your list when a big international (or even domestic) trip is possible? Where would you most like to travel to when it’s safe?

Missing the autumn colours of my university town 😍 I usually go back to Bath at least once a year but no trip to my uni city this year because 2020 😂 this year has really been a rollercoaster 😳
✨
I’m super happy to see the news coming out of the USA, although I’m still surprised (well, as surprised as you can be anymore) with how close it was 😬
✨
I haven’t left the house in a week because I’ve felt pretty under the weather ☹️ hopefully nothing serious and properly just because winter 🥶 but I’m staying home for the time being just in case! I’ve got new projects to work on, plus we have DIY to do 😍 I’m for sure obsessed with DIY and painting right now and I’m not even going to try and hide that 🤣 my explore page right now is currently WAY more full of home decor and DIY than it is of travel right now 🙊 we now can’t really go anywhere here in Gibraltar because Andalucía has closed all the municipality borders ☹️ so even though my parents are in Spain and the closest they’ve been for a while, I still can’t see them 😂 damn you 2020 😆
✨
How are you guys doing? How are my American friends doing? Are you staying home right now and is there another lockdown where you are?

Throwing it back to adventures in Scotland with @r

Throwing it back to adventures in Scotland with @readysetjetset 😍 I definitely miss being able to travel right now but I’m oddly loving being a bit of a homebody 😂 I have a new DIY project to work on 😍 and I’ve loved getting into interior decor a little bit!
✨
Since I usually travel so much and because I’ve not really lived in the same place for long enough, I’ve never really properly decorated the place where I live. However, with spending so much time at home right now, I’ve been LOVING making our home super cozy and really *ours*. Throw blankets and cute cushions are a big part of that 🤪🤪
✨
Is there anything you’ve ended up really getting into (or back into) since you’re spending a lot more time at home?

Today we have been enjoying some October sun ☀️ and one of my favourite spots is Plaza de las Flores 😍 it’s definitely one spot you have to visit when you’re in Estepona!
✨
Today has otherwise included doing Pokémon Go raids 😆 as well as fixing my website and applying for jobs 👀 it turns out that ‘entry level’ always seems to include a demand for 2-5 years of experience in the area 😒 seriously, I don’t get it. I had the same issue when I was graduating, when graduate jobs wanted 2+ years experience 🤔 how can you have experience when you’re applying for the first time and how can it be entry level if you already need experience?! And how can you get experience if all the entry level ones require previous experience 😳😳😳 anyway, rant over on that front 😂
✨
I’m also working on an exciting new project that I’m hoping to release more details about soon 😍 I love working on new projects, it’s always super exciting and motivating 🥰
✨
However, I also really really fancy a nap 👀 anyone else get super motivated about things but also really feel like they need to nap? 😆 or is that just me 🤔
✨
How has it been for you with jobs and so on? Do you have a full-time job or have you changed job recently?

Twirling into autumn like 💃🏻 if there’s on

Twirling into autumn like 💃🏻 if there’s one thing I do really miss while living in this region, it’s the autumn colours 😁I don’t miss autumn weather (rain... cold...) but I do miss seeing the leaves turn to orange and red 😍
✨
Estepona has no shortage of parks and @theflyawaydad and I ‘discovered’ two new ones (for us anyway 😆) today on our adventures around the city. This stunning park has endless greenery, plus fountains and a waterfall 😱🤩 photo heaven 😆
✨
I’ve loved the ability to slowly explore the city. To have siestas and looooong coffee breaks ☕️ to enjoy a glass of wine and watch the world go by 🥰 new rules are coming into force soon in Spain so we are enjoying going out for dinner, drinks and so on while we can (all socially distanced and wearing masks when you’re supposed to, etc).
✨
I’m also somewhat enjoying finding masks to compliment my dresses 😂 I haven’t found one to match this one yet though 🤔 who thought that 2020 fashion would be accessorising with masks 😷🧐
✨
Are you enjoying autumn where you are? Are you watching the leaves change or are you seeing autumnal photos on insta like me and getting jealous? 😂

Magical Estepona 😍 I still can’t believe that

Magical Estepona 😍 I still can’t believe that @robert.blackburn and I visited this gorgeous place back in February and I said ‘I’d love to live here one day’... and now my parents have an apartment here 😱 I never would have expected that this would be the outcome! I’m so happy though and my mum will finally be back out (she’s cleared for flying!) in two weeks 🥰
✨
I’m back up to Estepona this weekend to annoy @theflyawaydad 😁 and get my fix of coffee at @cafedetheresa, chai at @tolonebar and cocktails at @manila_cafebar 😎 plus after asking for restaurant recommendations in an Estepona FB group, I have a bunch of new spots to check out! My first blog post about Estepona is now live and the link is in my bio 🥰 I’m currently working on ones about the best cafes and best restaurants so expect me to be doing lots of test visits to check which places are best 😜 aka watch me eat my way around Estepona 😆
✨
While travel to Spain might not be on the cards for a lot of people right now, you should definitely put charming Estepona on your list for next year! It’s absolutely stunning in the spring and amazing in summer (and pretty great in autumn and winter too 😉). I can’t wait to be able to see it way more often now I have an apartment to crash 😆
✨
Have you or your family ever moved abroad? What other country/countries have you lived in?

Wales has announced a ‘firebreak’ lockdown for

Wales has announced a ‘firebreak’ lockdown for two weeks to strengthen their test and trace system and to try and stem the number of cases.
Manchester is going into Tier 3 - the highest tier of the UK’s system - as cases have been increasing massively.
As of tomorrow, Gibraltar will have new regulations (although we don’t yet know what they will be). We have reached more than 100 active cases for the first time during this pandemic.
✨
Yes, our increase in cases can be considered to be linked to the increase in testing. However, that isn’t the only reason. More than 700 people are in self-isolation here and 5 people are currently in hospital with COVID-19, with one person in the COVID-19 ICU ward. Our total case number is over 500 now, which is around 1.5% of the population (probably lower than the actual number since not everyone has symptoms or got tested, especially before testing capabilities were improved).
✨
I have been pretty impressed with Gibraltar so far in terms of the reaction to the pandemic. Most people put up with the restrictions, wear masks when they’re supposed to and so on. You get a few in the Facebook groups claiming it’s all a hoax and that masks make things worse (bullsh**) but the majority of people do follow the rules and are sensible.
✨
It’s a struggle to see case numbers rising and yet still see quite a few people go out in big groups, as well as certain places where people go out drinking and socialising not having sufficient social distance measures. The government has been cracking down on this, and hopefully fines are actually given out to the people that deserve them!
✨
However, overall I feel safe here, as much as one can feel safe in current situation. Our hospital is not at capacity and most people are being sensible and responsible. We shall see what tomorrow’s press conference brings 🙏🏼 just please, let Costa stay open? 🤪🤪🤪
What did you miss most during lockdown? What would you miss most if/when your city has another lockdown?
Does it seem likely where you are?
