My trip to Thailand was the most wonderful experience of my life. It was the first time I had ever left Europe, my first long haul flight and the first time I truly learned about and embraced different culture. In Thailand I island hopped, partied until sunrise at the infamous Koh Phangan Full Moon Party as well as explored cities and rainforest too. It is a trip which I will never forget. The vibrant, beautiful ‘land of smiles’ truly lived up to its name and the expectations I had created for it from hearing many other people’s south east Asia Travel stories. The majestic, breath taking temples and pristine waters which look like a filtered photograph are truly amazing.

Greece is a great holiday destination for families, friends and couples. Only a short flight from Dublin airport with Ryanair operating daily flights in the summer months, it’s a great excuse to go island hopping without travelling outside Europe.
Next stop: Belfast!
