ByTravelling Minion September 30, 2018 0 Comments
Travelling to Turkey It's going to be a LONG day. While I was excited to be travelling to Turkey and start exploring, I had a fairly long "road" to get there. Part of my excitement for this trip was the flight routing I had chosen to get there. I'd spent a lot of time figuring out a cost effective business class routing to and from. While I was excited to try the different cabin products, it...

In about a weeks time I'll be on the road again. This time I'll be heading East to Japan! I hadn't planned to visit Japan this year.

It's not everyday you get to travel with someone who's already familiar with the culture and can speak the language. In addition, He wanted to...
