I decided to spend 2019, each month, taking trips to places I had
always wanted to visit. From the poignant visit to my uncle's World
War One grave near Gueudcourt France to Saint Exupery Airport in
Lyon, named after the author of 'The Little Prince', my favourite
book. From Basel to Blackpool to Bondi, Bancourt to Berlin, Krakow
to Kfar Blum to Canberra and Melbourne, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem,
Amsterdam, Annan Scotland. These trips, covering over 35,000 miles,
became my travel bucket list. In addition to these trips the year
was filled with memorable events from VIP Manchester City
hospitality to Pink Floyd cover band concerts, Alzheimer's charity
walk and more. With fantastic experiences and memories. I hope that
through my stories, you can feel the highs and lows, the deep
emotions. Along with the tales of my experiences are travel tips
should you too decide to visit the destinations.
