Rachel's Next Adventure

This post kind of follows on from my 50 things in 2017 post but its a bit more focuses than a list of things in a random order! So its a lot easier for you (and me!) to understand when I read through it. Here are just some bullet points/lists of what I have planned for 2017 and what else I want to try to squeeze into what i'm sure will be an amazing year! What's Planned So Far?

I recently shared them over on my Photoblog but I thought i'd share them over here too! Back in September my fiancé and I visited Tokyo Disneyland again and got to watch one of our favourite day time parades together again - happiness is here. This year we saw it a couple of times so I managed to get some nice photos! Here are my favourite photographs from the parade. Follow this blog on BlogLovin' Like us on Facebook

A few years ago my fiancé and I started a blog where we wrote up a list of 50 things to do together that year and said we'd blog about it along the way. About 15 things down the list, the blog got hacked and taken down and we just got lazy and never finished crossing them off. This year i've decided to write a list of things to do in 2017, and even included a few things that are boring but necessary - like decluttering! Fingers crossed I can cross all of these off the list, keep checking back for updates and let me know what your 2017 plans are in the comments! 1. Visit Berlin 2. Visit Rome 3. Visit Disneyland Paris 4. Visit Walt Disney World 5. Make a chocolate photo frame 6. Save money 7. Declutter 8. Post a YouTube Video every week 9. Bake a heart shaped cake 10. Go to Chinese New Year events 11. Sunnycon 12. Newcastle Film & Comic Con 13. Visit Whitby 14. Have a BBQ 15. Go to Mog on the Tyne 16. Visit the aquarium 17. Get my DSLR repaired 1

2016, what a year. I'd planned so many big things, but face it, it was never going to be able to beat 2015! So what did I get up to? Well there was Newcastle Film and Comic con in March and November, Chinese New Year, Sunnycon, South Lakes Safari Zoo, my 25th birthday, my very first mosquito bite, Sunderland Illuminations, Fenwick Christmas window, finally making candy cane sleighs and sticky bow wreaths, Christmas trips to York and Beamish, and not forgetting my trips to London, Prague, Tokyo, and two trips to Disneyland Paris! I started posting one - two times a week on YouTube too! And I even cosplayed for the first time. A few days after I came back from Japan, I became really ill, they diagnosed me with clinically isolated syndrome, and then in early December I was diagnosed with MS, but hey! i'm sure 2017 will be great wether i'm healthy or not and it definitely didn't ruin 2016 for me! My highlights Two trips to Disneyland Paris - one of th

I hope you've all had a great Christmas Eve, personally, I had to work this year but I can't wait for this evening.  My Christmas Eve-ning plans are to stay in with my family - we have a somewhat recent tradition of having a Christmas Eve KFC Feast, then i'll be having a nice hot bath with the Father Christmas Lush bath bomb and settling down in my new Christmas Eve pjs ready for the yearly photo of my brother and I in front of the tree. I hope your evening is just as great! Follow this blog on BlogLovin' Like us on Facebook
