A Passion for Travel
I’ve been wanting to create a regular recap/update series for a while now, but I wasn’t quite sure where to begin. So I’m going to trial this for the next few months and see how it goes. The monthly recaps will give me the chance to keep you updated on what I’ve been up to,
The humble airplane armrest: who is entitled to them, and is there an etiquette to abide by? Is everyone on the same page here? Controversial, I know.
