Aw thank you for tagging me! I love the questions, though I’m going to struggle a little with the one about where I’ve lived (I haven’t got around much…!)
I have a relative in Australia, an aunt, so I’d love to go there too. Perhaps we both need to make that a bucket list goal soon 🙂

I have my parents to thank for carting us across the world when I was younger! Xx
Thank you so much Jen for tagging me in your post! You have lived in so many fantastic place! I am a little boring because I have only lived in the USA. The only place outside the states I have been was Jamaica on my honeymoon. I really want to travel because so many other countries look so interesting and beautiful! Australia is somewhere I have wanted to visit for years!!! Maybe someday I will get to travel through Europe and see so many great places!!!
We are alike with what we like to eat! I love pizza and really anything Italian!!!
I hope you have an absolutely amazing weekend Jen!!!!
Thanks Alyssa! Xx

Aw, I love this Jen! What a nice idea. Thank you so much for tagging me 😊 Great to learn more about you. We will share a few of the same answers when I do mine! I’ve travelled quite a lot (well I used to 😉) but I haven’t been to either Mexico or Prague! Bet they were really interesting places to visit. I also loved cheese but can’t eat it anymore either! It was my craving when I was pregnant and I ate a zillion cheese sandwiches!! xx
I try my hardest not to eat it but sometimes slip up 🙊 Luckily not that often though 🙂 Really looking forward to reading your answers, I really wanted to tag so many more people than I did. Xxx
Hello Jen – I haven’t commented before, not really having anything interesting to say. Your list has inspired me to see how many things I can fill in, although probably much less than you. I’ll follow your format on my own blog – it’ll be interesting ! Debra
Great Debra! X
Love this! 🙂
Have a go! Would love to read it 🙂
I have a sister with secondary progressive MS (48) and love reading your blog as it gives me an insight into what she has been through. I see that you want to go to Australia to see your sister. From my experience with my sister can I urge you to start saving and Carpe Diem. I put off a long distance trip with my sister to see our other sister in California and by the time we decided to go she no longer felt able to make such a long trip ☹
Keep writing and live life to the full.
Xxxx
Thank you so much for your comment and for reading! That is exactly what my parents have said – ‘go sooner rather than later’. I plan to! I would hate the chance to miss out though am nervous about the long journey ❤️
