As a New Year dawns – (and I’ll bet I’m not the only one to be glad to see the back of 2016) – I’ve decided to take a look back at some of my most memorable adventures of the past 12 months. Let’s start with my most recent one – a solo trip to Bremen. One place really stood out from the rest, making my trip all the more memorable and so I felt it earned a blog post all of its own.
Trial, error, a parched throat and numerous blisters have led to the discovery of some of my best loved travel hacks. I thought you might be in the market for some tips that are worth sharing so here are seven of the best ways I like to make the most of city breaks.
At the tail end of 2015 I had my first visit to Kew Gardens for their Christmas at Kew night time light show. I had such a great time that when my inbox pinged with news of their Orchid Festival I booked my ticket right away.
I used the trip as a chance to photograph the flora at close range. My long suffering friend Sophie came with me and waited patiently while I hovered over the most sought after species to get the best shot. She also very patiently took many a photo of me in an attempt to get just one without a sea of people in the background. I think she did a great job!
