I booked a spontaneous 5-day solo trip to Naples, leaving at 6:00am the next day – and I’m so glad I did. I saw Pompeii and Herculaneum (which have been on my list ever since I studied Ancient History in high school), came across the cutest craft beer bar, and ate the most amazing pizza of my life.

Went to Cardiff to visit some friends. During dinner, one of them told me he was taking part in a World Record event the following morning - and I could join him if I wanted to. Turns out it was an attempt to have the largest skinny dip ever, on Llangennith Beach. Everyone bottled it, but I proudly joined 412 others on the beach early the next morning. It was a while ago now but still makes me smile to think about it.

We were in our local pub watching Tottenham and Man Utd in the Europa League semi-final. I was drinking Neck Oil and my brother-in-law Bones. Both teams made the final that night, so we decided: let’s drive to Bilbao! The following Monday we hit the road, watched the final in an Irish bar and Spurs won! I was buzzing - my brother-in-law not so much. We camped out in a tent and ended the week at the Beavertown pub talking about what a mad week it had been.
