Spain

Spain is a lovely break from a busy schedule. A chance to enjoy the sun and the beaches. You can sunbathe and enjoy a book, play in the water or even build a sandcastle! Costa Brava has a long stretch of beach and many lovely hotels. It is also only a few hours by train away from Barcelona. Always worth a day trip to have a look around Barcelona and do some shopping! Don’t forget to try the typical spanish food and drinks, tapas and sangria is a brilliant reason to visit this country!

Circus Fun

Ever been to a circus? It’s a great thing to watch with the trapeze artists and tight rope walkers but how about actually learning how to do some of the things they can do? There’s lots of places where you can learn circus skills from juggling to stilt walking and it’s a lot of fun! You could try it out with family or friends, or go alone and then show off what you’ve learnt afterwards!

Limo

In your lifetime you need to ride a limo! It’s an amazing way to get to where you need to go, especially for a special occasion! Travel in style for a birthday party, prom, anniversary or even a wedding! There’s plenty of room inside for some of your family and friends. There’s a wide range of limos to choose from as well as the colour: pink, white or black for a start! Inside there may be optional disco lights, you can listen to your choice of music, and soft drinks or champagne are usually provided! A great way to begin your evening! Don’t forget to take lots of pictures!

Perform in a Play

What an achievement to say you’ve performed in a play! It may seem scary at points particularly on stage, opening night with the adrenaline rush. But at the end you’ll be really proud you’ve done it and would have made some good friends from all the rehearsals and time spent together! Once the play’s done you could also celebrate with an after performance party! Don’t forget to get friends and family to see you and take photos or a film so you can remember your time on stage!

Write a letter to yourself for 5 years time!

Why not write a letter to yourself, seal in and then open it again in 5 years time! You could write about where you are in life, what you are doing, your current favourite music or movies etc, your hopes dreams and aspirations, and where you’d like to be in 5 years! Seal it up then when you open it 5 years later, you can find out if you managed to achieve any of the things you’d hoped to, hope different things turned out from what you thought. It would also bring back memories of funny things you used to say and do, or songs that you liked and had completely forgotten about! If you’re not keen on letter writing there are also websites online where you can send an email to yourself and set a date in the future from a year to 10 years or more, so that the email will arrive the date you asked for!

Plummet Through The Skies

SkydivingNot for those afraid of heights but skydiving is an amazing experience! Free falling through the sky, before the parachute is released and you shoot upwards before gradually floating to the ground! It takes about half an hour to get up there and under 10 minutes to get back down!

The experience on average costs about £295 for the one jump tandem (attached to an experienced person so they can release the parachute and you’re just there for the ride!). You could also do a skydive for charity, a lot of companies online have the option where you can say you are raising money for a certain charity. A great way to raise money at the same time!

Invent Something

In your life why not invent something, come up with something completely new or an adaptation of something that already exists that could be improved! You could invent something that could make everyday life easier, a new game, or something just for special occasions, something just for a bit of fun! Have a little think, brainstorm some ideas and go from there, who knows what you could come up with!  Who knows, if your idea catches on, it could become a business for you to sell and find a way to mass produce your product, or you could attend craft fayres etc to see how you get on and if people like your product! What I came up with…now that would be telling!
