Travel theme: Cheerful

It’s getting to that time of year, isn’t it? With goodwill and cheer breaking out all around as we power up the holiday lights, here’s a cheerful theme to get you in the mood. Starting off, a burst of happy colour at Cascadian Farm in Washington State’s North Cascades.

Cheerful (and a little freaked out) tourist holding an octopus at Seattle’s Pike Place Market.

A girl reacts to a rose seller in Rome.

Participants in Dublin’s People’s Procession of Light.

Happy parasols floating above the Bellagio foyer in Las Vegas.

A dashing red cardinal in a snowy Central Park.

About ailsapm

Hi there! I’m Ailsa Prideaux-Mooney. I’ve lived in many places, and travelled to many more. I had a lot of fun getting there and being there, wherever there happened to be at the time. I climbed a castle wall in Czesky Krumlov, abseiled down cliffs to go caving in the west of Ireland, slept on the beach in Paros, got chased by a swarm of bees in Vourvourou (ok that wasn’t fun, but it was exciting), learned flower arranging in Tokyo, found myself in the middle of a riot in Seoul, learned to snowboard in Salzburg, got lost in a labyrinth in Budapest and had my ice cream stolen by a gull in Cornwall. And I’m just getting started. If you’ve enjoyed what you’ve read so far, I’d love you to follow my travelogue - wheresmybackpack.com - and remember, anyone who tries to tell you it’s a small world hasn’t tried to see it all.
