Places need to be attractive enough for tourists to want to visit, but at the same time… Germany is a well-known, popular holiday destination that has so much choice when it comes to places to visit. The downside of this popularity is that towns and cities can become so overcrowded that it can affect the […]
In my blog this week, I’ve written about the lovely weekend I spent with my mum in Hamburg. We both had such a wonderful time that was packed full of great things. I love Hamburg, and I’m lucky enough to have a good friend living there – giving me the perfect excuse to visit more […]
