The votes are in, and I’m going to Rome!

The votes are in, and I’m going to Rome!

With so many cities, resorts and landmarks in the world that I am dying to see, booking trips can become quite the challenge. Do we go to that quaint village we’ve been wanting to visit for a while? Or shall we go for some winter sunshine? Maybe we should go to that resort where they hold an annual festival?

My boyfriend and I recently managed to whittle it down and decided we wanted a city break. But the question still stood: which city?!

And that’s where you guys came in.

I gave my followers on Twitter the opportunity to decide which city trip I should book. (It was my boyfriends idea to run a poll, and I’ll give him full credit cos it was a flippin’ good idea.)

Budapest took the early lead, with Prague slowly taking over, but Rome came and snatched it at the end with 38% of the vote. I’ve been wanting to visit Rome for years whilst my boyfriend has never actually been that keen. But ha, I win.

So thank you guys! We’re going to Rome. 😊

The poll was so much fun, and we’ve decided that it’s going to be an ongoing thing. You guys can keep deciding where we go and what we do. Next time we want a day out but can’t decide where, we’ll ask you. When we’re booking a summer destination, we’ll get you guys to pick a hotel for us. Maybe I should create a hashtag for it. Throw ideas at me!

World, we’re coming for ya! 🌎

Did you vote in my poll? Have you visited Rome before?

    What a fab idea!
    Rome is truly breathtaking! It’s definitely somewhere that you’ll loose time in and you’ll end up returning to do more. There’s so much to see and do!

    Didn’t vote but I’ve been to Rome and believe me you will love it. Loads to do and see but be prepared for lots of walking, there are a few steep hills and flat shoes are a must I worn trainers the whole time I was there xx ps if you need to cool down visit the ice bar it’s amazing!
