There are oodles of events in and around London, no matter what your interests are, and crucially, for me at least, language is not a problem.

The transport system is very good too, so hotels that are further out are cheaper than central London.

Seconded and the ferry from Tallinn to Helsinki is handy too for a day out.

Dubrovnik is a nice destination in the Adriatic, 21 degrees right now. The old town is beautiful and the food is mouthwatering.

"Dubrovnik is a nice destination in the Adriatic, 21 degrees right now. The old town is beautiful and the food is mouthwatering. "

sorry to say but Dubrovnik is overpriced and overcrouded, especialy when cruiser ship come. i would recomend Šibenik, Krka eaterfalls near Šibenik and Zadar with islands in front. You can travel Dublin to Split, then rent car to travel around

If you want to experience a very different culture, try Morocco: Casablanca or Marrakesh.

I've done Iceland on a girls trip. Yes it's dear but we had B&B at the hotel so ate a massive breakfast, no lunch and only had to buy dinner

You can walk through a slice of a glacier at the Perlan exhibition.

There's the Blue Lagoon which is different but dear too.

Be prepared for eggy smelling tap water in your room.

If you want to see the Northern Lights be sure to bring the right kind of camera that can be adjusted for exposure and things. Mobile phone cameras don't work for it so it would be a wasted trip. No one tells you any of this, but you can google for what you need

Meath / Dublin / Birmingham

Bucharest is a gem of a place for a city break. So underrated and rarely mentioned when these type of things pop up. Krakow is a great spot too. Both very cheap being an added bonus.

No, boke. I'm not tempted by those kind of challenges. I think I'd be ill just waiting for it to arrive to the table.

Santorini. Now till March is off season and a great time if you want it quieter. Loads of places to visit too. Sunsets are stunning, food fantastic and culturally beautiful. June is possibly best time weather wise but avoid july-sept as it over crowded with tourist's.
