Your must read travel round up 🚞
Hello!
I’m back from European Christmas Market fun and attempting to get the videos turned around quickly for you - but if you can’t wait to hear what this year’s challenge was all about, you may want to check our Passports Please! podcast this week for a sneak peek!
But now I am back in the UK, my only travel plans are to head up north for Christmas - which gives me a perfect excuse to ask, “Have you thought about your travel plans for Christmas yet?”
I say this as someone who in the past has left the details to the last minute and then been burnt by expensive tickets and re-routed journeys. Whoops.
So whether you’re getting a train, boarding a flight, or simply jumping in the car for Christmas, why not spend 60 seconds today just checking out your route and booking what you need to before prices rise.
Right, that’s enough school teacher energy from me, let’s see what else is in store this week!
