Travel Talks

What better way to end the week than with some reading about travel experiences? Yep, there is none. Over here on Bohemian Belladonnas we love reading and being inspired by other stories that gets our wanderlust going.

This week I had the pleasure to interview a blogger friend on travel. At first she felt like she wouldn't have much to share as she hasn't had the opportunities to visit many places, but travelling is travelling regardless of the number of countries visited, hours it took to get there, or amount of stories to share. Needless to say I enjoyed her stories and feel like she's only beginning an amazing relationship with travel. My guest is Ana from intherose.

One question I love to ask people somehow hadn't come up in any conversations we've had over the years.. If you could pick one place to be in right now where would it be? No hesitations in answering that question, Ana shares with us that right now she "would love to be able to spend a week in either Mykonos or Santorini! That would be a dream!!!!" We wouldn't mind being there right now either!

T: What are your top five items to take with you on any trip?

Ana: I am the type of person that packs everything when I travel and then end up emptying out 75% of the contents. But my all time travel essentials would have to be my FRENDS Layla Headphones plus my ipod, but that can count as one. A very good book. A colouring book with colouring pencils. My laptop to either do work or watch movies and cream because my skin dries up very quickly during flights. All worth the weight I carry LOL!

T: So we know where you would like to be right now but, if you could pick one country to live in for the rest of your life what would it be?

Ana: This is a hard one because there are so many places I could imagine myself living, but if I had to choose one and still be able to travel anywhere I'd like to go, then I would choose to live in Milan, in a cute apartment that has a balcony with the view of the Cathedral.

If you aren't day dreaming about Ana's apartment choice then you need to get yourselves over to Milan asap!!

T: What would be an ideal holiday for you?

Ana: My ideal holiday would be a holiday where you are not stressing about little things and one that doesn't have any arrangements that need to be fulfilled such as a family event or social events. Just somewhere, where I can slip into a bikini and lay by the outdoor swimming pool reading a book.

T: Last but not least, what would be your best memory from any trip you've taken?

Ana: I feel like I have so many but I feel like my most memorable memory would be when I went to Algarve this summer with my boyfriend and we stayed in Portimão for a week. One night we went for a walk on the beach and it was a very long walk, we got ice cream and everything but the most special moment was when we were on our Pokemon Go app. Charizard came up and I yanked him, we both fangirled like little children together and then sulked when it ran away LOL! It was just cute and such an intimate moment between the both of us in the middle of all those people.

I'd like to take time to thank Ana for participating in the first Travel Talks blog post, you can read up in more detail about Ana's most recent trip to Portugal with her Vacation Diary entries up on her blog.
