Stamp Series: Morocco


As you read this, I'm probably in a last minute packing panic as tomorrow afternoon Dan and I will be heading off to Morocco for a week of sun, culture and a huge dose of relaxation. It will be a first time visit for the pair of us and after reading plenty of blog posts of things to do whilst we're there, I'm ready to soak up as much as I can!

If you have any last minute recommendations of places to visit and things to see (we'll be spending the majority of our time in Marrakech) please leave a message in the comments below.

Stamp Series: San Francisco


If I am completely honest, I didn't want to do this stamp so soon. San Francisco has been the one place on this planet that I have wanted to visit since I was 11 (that's 14 years, guys!) and I feel kind of cheated producing this without even being close to visiting.

So what is it about San Francisco that I just have to go? For me, it's everything: the food, the weather, the sights, the people, the culture, the roads... to me it has everything that I would perceive as the 'American Dream'. It started off when my dad purchased me a PC game called Midtown Madness 2 where I would spend hours driving the streets of San Francisco and I got so obsessed that I could have given you directions to a place I have never been to before.

Ever since that moment, I've wanted to see it for real. To drive through those very streets I used to on the game – without all the racing and crashing – and experience that true San Fran life.

I'm planning on taking this trip of a lifetime in 2 years time but in the mean time, I will be spending many more hours searching Pinterest and blogs for my fix.

If you've been to San Francisco before and have any recommendations for things to see and do, let me know! I will be making a very long list of things to do when I eventually get myself over there and I want it to be amazing.

Stamp Series: Alaska


This week's stamp comes all the way to you from Alaska. Well known for it's national parks, mountains, forests and getting as close to nature as you possibly can, it seemed a more unusual choice of destination than some of the previous stamps in my #clrkllystampseries.

I've never been to Alaska nor have I even ventured as far as Canada, but this seems like the ideal setting for a week or two or pure escapism from the hustle and bustle of working life.

Have you ever been to Alaska and if so, what sights did you see when you were there?

Stamp Series: Helsinki


I had a change of heart with this week's stamp as I originally planned on showcasing a different country but wasn't feeling much for it at the time. Even when you have an idea in your head, sometimes you just need to break away from it and start afresh with something else. Which is what I did.

Scandinavia has been a recurring theme lately in my #clrkllystampseries and although I haven't been before, looking at photographs online is enough to say it all. Filled with stunning and culturally interesting countries, I can see why so many people are now opting for more 'city' type breaks.

Finland has never really been on my list of places to see and visit, however after doing some research for this week's addition to my Stamp Series, my mind has quickly changed.
