Meet the mum jetting off on 48-hour adventures by bagging flights for as little as £16 – making it back in time for her nightshifts.
Anne-Marie Moss, 45, has taken EIGHT short trips over the last two years – spending just £994 on all her return flights and accommodation.
The mum-of-three got the bug to travel after finding a cheap steal to take her daughter, Trinity, 20, and her friends, Imogen, 24 and Tianna, 23 to Kraków, Poland, for the Christmas markets in December 2022 on £16 return flights.
Realising how easy it was to find quick getaways at bargain prices she set off a month later back to Kraków – this time reuniting with an old school friend of 30 years, Rachel, 44.
Since she’s travelled back to the same city taking new friends along the way – getting stuck in with activities such as kayaking, quad biking and cycling around the national park.
Anne-Marie recently spent 48-hours in Palma, Spain, having foot massages and watching a boat race in March 2023 - which cost £110 each - and already has her next trip planned for May.
The mum makes sure to rigorously plan the jam-packed holidays – and always ensures she is back in time for her night shift as a receptionist at a mental health hospital.
Anne-Marie, from Accrington, Greater Manchester, said: “I’m often hopping off the flight and heading straight to my shift.
“I sleep on the plane home.
“It started off when I found £16 return flights to go to Kraków, Poland.
“I fell in love with it.
“After we came back home, I wanted to travel again.
“We just came back from 24 hour in Palma, Spain.
“It was about £110 each in total.
“It’s cheaper than going round Manchester.”
Anne-Marie fell in love with short holidays after taking her daughter, Trinity, and her friends to Kraków, Poland in December 2021 – visiting the Christmas markets, Auschwitz and the salt mines.
She said: “We got an apartment for £100 for two nights and it was right in the city centre.
“The snow was picturesque.”
Desperate to go back, Anne-Marie invited her pal, Rachel, along with her in March 2022 after seeing a Facebook post about her wanting to travel.
She said: “I hadn’t seen her in 30 years but I said, ‘shall we go for it?’
“It was last minute, and we got £35 return flight.”
The pair went to the Tantra Mountains, Poland, and visited the thermal spa.
They loved it so much they returned less than a month later and went kayaking, quad biking and cycling – packed all into 48 hours and spending just £120.
Anne-Marie has been three times since – taking school mum, Jill, 50, and her family in May and June 2022 and her twin sister, Donna, 45, and their daughters, Trinity, and Jasmine, 21, in December last year.
She said: “Jill couldn’t come the first time we had planned to as her passport had expired.
“So, I still took her family.
“I booked a surprise visit in June so she could go.
Anne-Marie spends two nights in Bucharest, Romania, in February 2023 with Jill, and Elisabeth, 50.
She said: “We went to the castles and thermae spa.
“It cost us £116 each in total.”
