France.

France just surprises me every single time I am able to spend time here.  Beauty, culture, time and space. What else can you say about France that hasn't been a said a million times. It's intense, free, restricted and liberal. Be careful what you are wearing, but drive on your own for hours without passing a car. Behave as is expected, eat between very specific times, but who cares if the President has been having an affair for years. I love how similar France is to British culture and how completely opposite it is at the same time.

Various

Edinburgh, Scotland – so similar to England, but at the same time so very different. Different customs, culture and history. Not till the last time I visited did I finally understand why they would want to separate from the Britain.

Boston – Americans are so good with customer service, I love the way they treat you like a princess!

Lisbon, Portugal; one of the friendliest, easiest loveliest places to spend time in. Sadly I just could not get on with the food, chips and rice together just isn't right – sorry but it isn't lol.

Malta made me smile so much. So weird, like being in Italy or something but with all the idiosyncrasies of Britain: the high street shops, the red post boxes the red phone boxes, all the signs in English and the added beauty of fab weather.
