Brilliant Boating Birthday
Back in March I turned 25, which also coincided with having visited 25 countries by 25.

The focus of this blog however is on my boating birthday celebration…. My partner and I have developed a tradition of planning a weekend of surprises for each of our birthdays…

If you’re craving a change of scenery, a weekend road trip might be just what you need. Whether you’re heading to the beach or the mountains, Forbes reports that driving has fewer logistics than flying. Sure, it might take a little longer to reach your destination. However, the upside is you won’t have to deal with the stresses of busy airports, unruly strangers, security checks, or expensive flights. Whether you’re on a gap year, taking a family holiday together, or just looking for a fun way to spend your day off,…
