She’s lived in 15 houses in 21 years, been bowled over by a silverback in Rwanda, attacked by horses in Cheltenham, skied up trees in Bavaria, crashed a moped in Thailand and buried alive in South Africa - this army-brat is made of strong stuff. The newest member of the creatively crafty content team, Laura has work published with Lonely Planet and ABTA magazine, the ASTA Network and The Sunday Times. With a bucket list to die for (excuse the pun) and a gob that won’t stop gabbing, she hopes to become a travel writer, gossiping her way around the globe.
After a well-deserved dinner at the Dean Court Hotel, we decided to mix things with a cocktail challenge at Hotel du Vin. Taught by the patient and knowledgeable Luke, our rowdy Top 10 learnt their muddlers from their strainers, and shook it like a Polaroid picture to create some smooth and fruity beverages. But who [...]
After a mucky morning, we whisked the Top 10 off for an afternoon of physical endurance; a High Rope Challenge at Wired. Mistaking the high wire course as mere child’s play (the fastest time by a non-instructor was by an 11 year old girl!) it turned into a battle of the sexes when Cody declared [...]
Waking up in the West Country, we can’t wait to see if the finalists buy into Bristol’s big-city attractions and cool street vibe after exploring the city. They won’t be stalling too long, though, as they’ll soon be whisked off to the afternoon challenge. High on any adrenaline junkie’s list, the Top 10 will be [...]
Sweetening things up after last night’s fiery challenge, we thought we’d give our finalists a little treat. Heading out to York Cocoa House, the Top 10 were greeted by Anna (yet another one!) with an array of flavourful fancies. After a nifty sniff and taste test, teams, titles and taglines were assembled; Ricardo, Dave and [...]
As Day Two of Winners’ Week dawns, we can’t help but think the contestants are in for a treat! The Top 10 will begin the day by getting another little taste of what York has to offer, as we sweeten the deal with a creative culinary task. Then the daring group will be high as a [...]
It’s Day One of the highly anticipated Winners’ Week and boy are they in for a scorcher! As the terrific Top 10 hot-foot it up to the historical city of York, they’ll spend the day on a fierce hunt to find the city’s most prized sights. As evening draws in, the night’s events look to [...]
Thrown together in a cacophony of cameras, cuddles and catch-ups, our Top 10 were greeted by the My Destination team for an initiation to Winners’ Week at London Waterloo. Starting gently, we led the bamboozled lot to Southbank for celebratory a Bucks Fizz and regal greeting from CEO Neil. Hot-footing it to the Thames’ edge, [...]
The time has come! The Biggest, Baddest Bucket List Top 10 Finalists have landed on UK soil! After welcoming the weary winners to our shores, we’ll ship them off for an afternoon at one of London’s most famous sites. But don’t worry, it’s not all plain sailing, we’ll be keeping a beady eye on them [...]
Following the trail of two lazy lovers, dawdling hand in hand across Pont des Arts with the warm afternoon sun kissing their cheeks, I couldn’t help but smile; this was Paris. The pink cherry blossom falling in a gentle whirlwind around us and the glint of the rippling Seine catching my eye, I’d come to [...]
UK hotel tycoon Travelodge has invested €30 million into their latest and biggest ever hotel in Barcelona, Spain, which has opened today. With four other hotels already in the country (two in Madrid, one in Valencia and one in Barcelona), this new 250-room purpose built hotel is a cut above the rest. Found in Barcelona’s [...]
So you’ve probably seen all the hype from our Biggest, Baddest Bucket List competition, and have likely got to thinking: what’s on my bucket list? Would you go cage diving with great white sharks, bungee jump off the Victoria Falls Bridge or sky dive over the Great Barrier Reef in Australia? Perhaps you’d like to [...]
