We never went away when I was young, I was born and raised in Buckinghamshire in England and until I was an adult that was all I knew. We didn't have the money for yearly holidays abroad, nor UK breaks or weekends away, we could barely even afford days out. My Mum was a single Mum working multiple jobs doing her best for us and I treasured the moments she sat doing puzzles with us, teaching us how to write and to draw, cuddling us on the sofa and taking us to the library. We were never the kids starting a new school year with suntanned skin and memories of days around the pool, but that didn't matter, we'd made other memories and as a 30-year-old woman I still hold on to the memories of summer days spent sunbathing on a towel in my back garden with my little brother in the paddling pool next to me.
Travelling is, therefore, something I will never ever take for granted. Every time I am able to now go out for the day to see somewhere new is an adventure, every weekend away and every holiday we go on, we always count our blessings.
