Coffee and journal time, while I wait for my flight to Dublin ✈️
Coffee and journal time, while I wait for my flight to Dublin ✈️
Morning one after returning from Singapore and I’m off again!
This time, it’s to Dublin - for work. Thankfully, I packed my bag as soon as I unpacked last night, so I’m basically ready to go. I just need to inject some caffeine into my nervous system and pop my laptop in my backpack. ✈️
I couldn’t keep my eyes open past nine pm last night, and slept the whole night through. Feeling very rested as a result. Jet lag is always less of an issue for me returning from Asia.
I have the whole of this afternoon to get back into work mode, do some writing and prepare for tomorrow’s workshop. So, flight aside, it’s a gentle return to the world of work.
Here’s hoping London City Airport isn’t a mass of delays this morning…
Back to a very sunny and warm London ☀️
While it’s nice to be back, I’ve been compiling a long mental list of things I’d like to import from Singapore.
My Bellroy Via Backpack, combined with my Rimowa spinner, has been all I’ve needed for this week in Singapore.
Travelling carry-on only is extremely liberating and removes so much of the stress of long distance travel.
Though it really requires focus and care when packing.
I’m frankly astounded I managed to get everything into my suitcase!
Despite having carry-on luggage only, I ended up buying some new t-shirts while here. It was…a squeeze to get it all in.
Next stop: Changi Airport ✈️
Last few hours in Singapore. Beginning the long journey home later today. But first, there’s a breakfast buffet to be attacked.
And some packing to finish 😬
All of today and tomorrow remaining in my trip to Singapore. Plus a little of Sunday as we don’t fly until 6pm.
I definitely want to make a return visit to the Japanese onsen, sample some more local food and explore some other neighbourhoods.
Just enjoyed an amazing couple of hours in a Japanese-style onsen in the heart of Singapore.
Will definitely be making a return visit before flying home. It was the most perfect way to unwind after a day of walking the city.
On my way to meet a local Singaporean friend to go for a soak in the onsen ♨️ Cannot wait for a couple of very relaxing hours in the water.
Bought a little accessory for my Traveler’s Notebook to remind me of my trip to Singapore. Travelling hand baggage only means the mementos have to be tiny!
Starting the day with my travel journal from Travelers Company, capturing memories for future me. ☕️
I love my gadgets, but there’s still something amazing about committing your thoughts to paper.
Made it to Singapore!
Spent the entire flight nodding off and waking up with a violent jerk. I’m sure I looked bizarre.
Happy to be on the ground again, in a taxi, and heading to our hotel.
No more flights for a week ✈️
Landed in Phuket after a lovely flight with Qatar Airlines. Delicious onboard food and even managed a nap.
90mins until our flight to Singapore, so now it’s time for some caffeine.
The business lounge in Sofia Airport has a smoking zone. Which means the entire lounge reeks of foul cigarette smoke.
Revolting.
Bye bye, Sofia!
Well, breakfast was awful.
Every single cooked offering on the buffet was stone cold. Which I discovered, obviously, after making my selection. Cold bacon doesn’t do it for me.
Ended up with a healthier bowl of fruit, so it wasn’t all bad. Now, time to check out and head to the airport ✈️
Time for breakfast here in Sofia, after which we’ll head to the airport for our flight to Doha.
Looking forward to getting onboard and relaxing. Once I’ve navigated all the hassles of the airport ✈️
We get a couple of hours in Doha before our flight onwards to Asia. When I’ll hopefully sleep most of the way.
My luggage for the next ten days. Carry-on only is the way to go ✈️
My trusty Rimowa paired with my new backpack from Bellroy. 🧳
When you’re too early for the Elizabeth Line…
My last full work day before travel.
Off to Singapore tomorrow for a break and some work. Looking forward to running a wellbeing workshop for new clients while I’m there.
And as soon as I’m back, it’s time to head to Dublin for more work.
A busy couple of weeks ahead. ✈️
In the ‘Sala VIP’ (business lounge) at Barcelona Airport. Still impressed with how they’ve improved it since I was a monthly business commuter to Barcelona.
Tucking into some tortilla and delicious salami while I wait for my flight to London. ✈️
I secured a late checkout from my hotel, so I have time for a final couple of hours by the pool.
Extracting every moment of pleasure before I have to fly back to London. ✈️
My last evening in Sitges.
So I’m treating myself to a nice meal out. I’ve already packed my suitcase, so no last minute rushing tomorrow morning.
Time to soak up the evening rays and relaxing atmosphere before returning to…London. 🤪
Another few hours of reading in the sun. I’m nothing if not consistent!
On my way out for some food and some all-important people-watching!
It’s finally cooling down. A little.
