A travel wishlist from someone who has never been to Ottawa

Michael Palin once said ‘Once the travel bug bits there is no known antidote, and I know that I shall be happily infected until the end of my life’. Never a truer word has been spoken. I arrived late to this travelling lark – I was well into my late 20’s before I really started travelling and I am now well and truly addicted, getting serious withdrawals if I am in London for more than four weeks uninterrupted.

I am often asked how I found out about some of the places I have been and the experiences that I had, and the answer is from the 101 travel websites and emails that I subscribe to, as well as social media – some of the best kept secrets are in others photos. That is where I get most of my travel envy from which leads to some serious inspiration. Which is why working for Daniel has led me to some serious travel envy in Canada.

But first let me tell you about how this all started.

The Greek Island Life

After a long few weeks at work, and the very changeable British weather, I was very glad to board an Easy Jet flight to Greece. My fav travel buddy, Liam, and I, were off to celebrate his birthday in one of our favourite places, Mykonos. I have visited Greece a number of times, and every time I come back relaxed, refreshed and ready to face reality again. This time would turn out to be no different! My friend visited Crete a few weeks ago and she used e-mietwagenkreta.de to rent a car. Since we were visiting Mykonos I decided we wouldn’t need to hire a car, but it’s good to have the option there.
