How many days do you need in Paris, France? One, three, five or thirty. There’s no right answer. It all depends on who you are and how you like to travel.
But for now, let’s assume you have all the time in the world but want to see Paris in a day. Soooo…
Voyons Paris! Let’s see Paris!
(That’s it. That’s about as much French as I can confidently write…)
The perfect end to a day in Paris. Now, let’s begin at the start…
There are so many posts online written about how to sleep on a flight.
Usually by people who haven’t flown that often.
So9, as someone who has been having traveled the world for 35 years and recently (as in 2 days ago) having just flown from New Zealand to London and sat on a plane for 30 hours, I thought while it was fresh in my mind I would share a few hacks (why did I say hacks? I never use that word) share some honest tips. Tips on how to get some sleep on the plane.
Because let’s face it — not having sleep is torture. Not having sleep makes you feel like sh*t.
Not having enough sleep can ruin the first four days of your holiday.
And we don’t want that. No sir.
I know. It’s not the prettiest of pictures, but hey…at least you know I’m genuine.
Let me tell you a little secret. After years of full-time travel dragging overstuffed suitcases through countless airports with my family in tow, I’ve finally mastered the art of carry-on packing.
Trust me, when you’re travelling with teenagers who believe that travel essentials on a plane ends with their phone, learning what’s genuinely essential becomes a survival skill!
Today, I’m sharing the must-have carry-on essentials that have saved me time, money, (and sanity) on countless adventures around the globe.
One of these travel essentials is also the key to how I sleep on every flight I take.
I am also sharing what NOT to pack in your carry-on bag. We also don’t want you to be held up by customers because of an apple in your bag!
Whether you’re planning a quick business trip or a family vacation, these 20 items deserve prime real estate in your travel bag.
Travel takes its toll on your skin. As a full-time traveller, I have spent years tracking down the best cream for hands, as well as trying to avoid anything that speeds up the ageing process of the delicate skin on my mitts.
Here are a bunch of my favourites that nothing else comes close to.
Why write a post on the pros and cons of housesitting?
Because I wanted to make it crystal clear that although housesitting is an incredible way to see the world for free (it is most certainly how WE afford to travel the world), it isn’t always a walk in the park.
Far from it.
Housesitting is more like one of those jogs you do when you realise your jeans no longer fit.
The jog that gets you all sweaty and puffy but feels amazing afterwards.
I’m Liz, and this is my family.
I do Travel. I do Wine. I do being a mum to big kids. Sometimes I do all three at the same time.
I don’t do hormones. Or looking perfect for Instagram. Or dieting.
