Sweden is a country filled with a limitless list of things to see and do. With 80% of its landscape covered in wilderness, there is an abundance of nature, thousands of islands and an astonishing 100,000 lakes. Sweden is also the home to Ikea, ABBA, and the birthplace of the Nobel Prize.

Australia has never felt closer! In a major milestone for the aviation industry, Qantas has announced its Project Sunrise A350 mission, operating the world’s longest direct flight from London Heathrow to Sydney from 2025.
Qantas has ordered a brand new fleet of 12 Airbus A350-1000s, which will operate from both London and New York to Sydney, taking approximately 20 hours and flying about 11,000 miles.

They became popular in the late 17th century, with the first balconies featuring at Valletta’s Grand Master’s Palace, which then set off this spectacular trend. I have been in complete awe of them, including their colours and structures, and how they feature on buildings all over the country. Interestingly, the colour of the balcony is matched to the door of that particular building. It is only right that I dedicate an entire blog post to photos of these architectural wonders…

I stayed at the newly-opened Courtyard by Marriott Glasgow SEC in November during the COP26 climate change summit. Being in Glasgow for over two weeks meant I was keen to stay at a hotel that was in a good and convenient location, which provided comfort, and the Courtyard offered just that!
