Paris is lovely. It’s romantic. It’s full of iconic architecture, delicate pastries, and tourists standing in the middle of the street taking photos of things they don’t understand.

That glorious time we take to leave our daily stresses behind and focus on enjoying ourselves! For most of us, our trips go without a hitch, that is, if you overlook budget airlines’ baggage fees and the inevitable forgotten toothbrush.

But for a small (and unlucky number of travellers, a holiday abroad can take an unexpected turn, not because of lost luggage, but because they fall victim to crime.

Seeing Neuschwanstein Castle in person, surrounded by stunning winter landscapes, was even more incredible and magical than I could ever expect. It truly took my breath away.

There’s something alluring about the idea of thousands of scattered islands stretching out into the Baltic Sea, each one of them with its own share of pristine nature. Simply imagining the cool air brushing against my cheek, the smell of pinewood filling my lungs, and the sun glistening off the sparkling waters, makes me want to head out to explore the Stockholm Archipelago this very instant.
