Now that we’re at the start of the new year, it’s time we start looking ahead and plotting some fun plans into our calendars to get us through it.
In our opinion, you can’t go wrong with booking a new and exciting holiday. We’re thinking cocktails on the beach, topping up our tans (wearing SPF of course), and those lush post-sun bathing naps before dinner. Or you might be an adventurer and dreamer, travelling to the likes of the magical lands of Walt Disney World or Universal Studios, or backpacking around Bali.
However, deciding on a destination can often feel more stressful than blissful. We’re talking, who in the group chat will be sharing rooms, how much sightseeing is involved, and who will be the lead passenger to take charge, but most importantly, where will all this be happening?
Thankfully, Metro Deals x Wowcher has swooped in to save the day with their renowned Mystery Holidays that cost just £99pp. You could find yourself jetting off to enjoy 2000 holiday packages to the likes of luxurious long-haul destinations, including the Maldives, Thailand, Mexico, Florida, Dubai, or wandering through the likes of Paris, Prague, Rome, and Athens on romantic city breaks, or bask in complete relaxation in Crete, Malta, Egypt and more – it all sounds too good to be true.
