Completely stuck at the minute. Set on going to the Balkans again but can't decide where! Montenegro was my first choice option, was set on it but hearing mixed things about it now such as Budva being just a party destination. Already been Croatia, but would like to see the south of the country again. Would love to get Bosnia in there again but the travel is serious and i'm not sure how much I fancy Bosnian/Montenegrin busses.

Don't mind going somewhere with a good few tourists, but don't want the place to be catered to just serving tourists. Kind of like the more traditional towns, but I know that they are increasingly difficult to come by!
 
Was bored the other night browsing the easyjet website and now I'm going on my own to watch PSG vs Lille in the Coupe De La Ligue final in the Stade De France on 23rd April...

So- First time in Paris, it's obviously going to be an expensive city but I want to keep it cheap as I'm only staying one night so may well try that AirBnB.

For anyone who's been there- Is it easy enough to see a good amount of the main attractions (Eiffel Tower etc) in about a day and a half? As in are they close together or spread out far across the city?

You won't have time but to scratch the surface and there will be plenty near the centre to keep you occupied before the match. Get a ticket for the Metro (underground) which is anyway a typical Parisian experience.

Don't dismiss Montemegro to easily; both Budva and Kotor are fantastic, and still plenty to do for a couple of days & nights of you don't want to immerse yourself in the party scene (which is highly recommended, if only to blimp the outrageously fit Russian snatch).

sounds like a great trip . Will tickets be easy enough to get hold off ?

Already got it via Stade de France's website mate. €60 but from what I can work out, they're in a neutral part of the stadium as neither team had released ticket details yet and I didn't want to risk it.

Happy days then . Enjoy your trip .
 
Not sure whether this has been done before but couldn't find anything recent...

I'm a huge lover of anything to do with travelling and experiencing other countries. Part of my job enables me to travel which is a huge bonus for me. I've just started saving up to travel around the world in the next 5 years and was wondering what your absolute favourite place is that you've been too? Or anywhere you've always wanted to go?
I did the world tour last year. This year I thought I'd go somewhere else.
 
But, seriously, as we are moving to a 2-bed apartment with a nice big balcony next week (Thursday 18th) we don't feel the need so much for a hotel type holiday this year. So thinking of either a Rhine or Fjord cruise in Spring/Summer and then a visit to Tennessee to see my stepson and his American wife later in the year.
 
Family off skiing - I was supposed to go with them but have to stay, hopefully catch them later in the week
