I’ve potentially got a pretty expensive year ahead already – I’ll be moving house soon (I hope) and will probably need to buy a car to commute to work, but I’d still like a break away. Hell, I’ll probably deserve it! Here are three places I’ve got my beady eye on visiting

Iceland
I’ve wanted to visit Reykjavik for as long as I can remember, and my desire to go has been stirred recently by the number of people I’ve seen on social media visiting recently. It’s gorgeous! The Blue Lagoon, chocolate box buildings and Northern lights – you wouldn’t need to do it for the ‘gram, it’s already done. Plus, I’m fairly sure this is the twin City of my hometown Hull so I that practically makes it family, right?

Aruba
Me and the Mr have wanted to holiday here for a few years after seeing that it has a pretty similar vibe to Barbados, where we went on honeymoon. Unlike most Caribbean islands the best time to visit is the summer as it’s out of the hurricane path, which is the part of the year that we usually have more free time. A beautiful beach (especially with Flamingos, eek!) delicious cocktails and some good ol’ island charm, yes pur-lease.

Las Vegas

As you can see, I’ve been to Vegas before! (At the time I wrote a post about it, Things people don’t tell you about Las Vegas‘) this is somewhere that me and my gal Ashton have talked about going on and off for most of this year, and I’m still down for this as a girls vacay! Let’s hope we both find the time and the money to make it happen.

Fingers crossed I’ll make at least one of these happen in the New Year (FYI- you’ll get the best holiday discounts when booking between Christmas – February) so if you have any recommendations or blog posts you can link to for these places feel free to shout out in the comments.

Thanks for reading,
