In no particular order… 1. Mentally prepare. There’s nothing worse than knowing you have a 10 hour flight ahead of you to reach your destination. I like to emotionally prepare and think ‘the time will pass’. I cut the flight hours into chunks and I know once I’ve watched about four films, the plane will […]

Düsseldorf (Christmas Markets)
December 2017 Düsseldorf holds a big place in my heart, as I used to live here when I was younger for a few years. It was an amazing place to experience as a child and still an amazing place to visit as an adult. On my list visit here (as I’ve been back many times) […]
