Anyone who knows me will know that I often spend my spare time trawling through websites looking at the best flight deals, or spending hours watching travel blogs, or simply just daydreaming about where I am going to be exploring next. Recently, we booked our next trip which is to Brussels in Belgium and in [...]
I'm back to the blog now. But first, here is everything you need to know about what happened over the last month since my last post and what is coming up next.
