Item number 5 on my list of 27 things is very simple, Visit Wales.
I’ve managed to travel across the USA on a train, visit Australia (New South Wales, infact), drive around the Canadian Rockies, and even spend a couple of weeks in Hong Kong – all in recent years – yet I have never stepped foot across the Welsh border.
I added this to my 27 things as I think it’s quite ridiculous for someone so travelled to have missed out on an entire land-bordered Country, one that’s a measly 1.5 hours drive away!
I’m not exactly sure when I’ll be making the trip, I’m thinking this could make a great spur of the moment Sunday morning jaunt, in which I will take photos of a valley, eat an oggie & some welsh cakes (which are absolutely fucking delicious) and be done with it. Although it could turn in to a weekend getaway, some of the scenery on the Visit Wales website looks super pretty, and the adverts with Rhod Gilbert pretty much sold the Country to me (I love Rhod, he’s amazing, here’s a video…).
I have honestly got no idea how I’ve managed to go so long without visiting certain parts of my own land-mass, considering it’s such a small one. I’ve also never visited anywhere higher than Glasgow, or anywhere lower than London… and I’ve never been to anywhere in the bottom left of the Country. They can all go on my 28 things list :)
Where should I go in Wales?! Please let me know your suggestions, so long as it doesn’t involve climbing Snowdonia.

I love Wales so much I married one of their boys. I hear Cardiff is great for a city break type thing but a spur of the moment Sunday morning thing sounds ace. And I totes concur on the Welshcakes!
You need to go to Wales!!!I’m from North Wales (Llandudno) and it’s so pretty.
Visit the island of Angelsey and go to newborough. It is amazing!!!!

Ask me any questions because I know the area.
Ohh I will definitely ask questions! Thinking we might turn it into a weekend away :)
