WANDERLUST

The definition for wanderlust is 'a strong desire to wander or travel and explore the world.' This definition defines my feelings.

I visited Paris in December as a school trip and it really opened my eyes to how beautiful cities in Europe can be. I have been on holiday to lots of beach destinations in Spain such as Menorca and Majorca, you know what I mean.. the type of holidays where you spend a week just eating too much, drinking too much and getting too much sun, those holidays are always great but I am so intrigued by the idea of visiting cities. Paris was amazing, we spent four days there and I pretty much fell in love with the people, the architecture and the sights. It was my first time visiting France and it was so lovely, I definitely would go back.

If I had the opportunity in the future, I would love to go inter-railing through Europe. The idea of inter-railing is where you basically travel through Europe via train and all you take is a backpack that contains everything you need for the entire duration of your trip (also known as backpacking funnily enough). The only thing that makes me feel a little bit sick about the idea is the thought of having to stay in a hostel. As you may know, hostels are the most basic form of accommodation (In the one I stayed in when I went to Hungary it looked like a prison) but, saying that, around fifty percent of the time they're about ten times cheaper than a hotel. I'd totally be prepared to stay in a hostel if it meant I could spend 2 days in Amsterdam, whatever state it was in.
