The first travels of 2018 are just around the corner! We’ll be soon heading to one week holiday to Geneva and Ibiza. We’ll be 4 days in Geneva, Switzerland and 3 in Ibiza, Spain.

 

Neither of us have never in either so we’re pretty excited. We also found flights that were very inexpensive so have some more to spend in the locations. I’ll be of course going with my camera to explore those places and share them with you guys.

 

In Geneva we’ll stay in a valuably priced hostel 30 minutes from downtown in a small cute town called Nyon. In Ibiza we’ll have a beautiful luxurious hotel by the beach.

 

What’s also cool is that we’ll be changing flights couple of times so we can explore plenty of airport lounges into which we haven’t yet been. I used to hate changing flights but lounges have changed my mind – free wi-fi, ac, complimentary food and drinks, etc. Not too bad way to wait in the airport.

 

If you travel a lot, you should definitely find a way to access the lounges while traveling. Are you guys interested in reading more about lounges and how to get an access to them?
