Although it’s famous for red London buses, Big Ben and the Royal Family, there is much more to England than just London. And planning a trip to the UK is actually fairly easy. You’ve got relatively few visa requirements, and English as a language is widely known throughout the world, but there are some things to keep in mind.
When it comes to looking at the impacts of climate change, ski resorts (and skiers) have a lot to lose – literally. While they can’t singlehandedly be blamed for the global warming crisis, it stands to reason that ski resorts would be at the forefront of environmental best practice, as well as lobbying, campaigning and educating people as much as they could.
Sun, sand and spectacular weather make Florida the perfect place to own a timeshare. Florida boasts the ideal combination of tropical weather, beautiful beaches and exotic surroundings while remaining extremely accessible. It has the wonderful weather and beautiful beaches of a tropical island without the leg-cramping flights.
Whilst it’s nice to immerse ourselves in the culture of a country or see some of the wonders of the world and the amazing constructions man has created, more often than not it’s nice just to sit on a beach and enjoy pristine waters, warm sun and an all inclusive bar.

Some of the most charismatic Christmas markets in Germany can be found at the Munich Christmas markets. This enchanting city comes alive during the festive season when thousands of visitors from all over the world come to experience the local charm and celebrations of one of Germany’s most colourful cities.
With around 20 Christmas markets in the city to visit there are many unique experiences to be found throughout the city for both families and couples alike. With roots that go back to the 14th century, the ‘Christkindlmarkt’ Christmas market situated on the Marienplatz at the centre of the city provides visitors with a trip back in time. Traditional stalls lining the streets sell a mixture of handicrafts, gifts and local cuisine with recipes largely unchanged throughout the centuries. As Munich’s most popular Christmas market, the attraction benefits from a unique entertainment schedule that includes free festive concerts from the balcony of Munich’s Town Hall performed by traditional Bavarian musicians. Be sure to buy yourself a delicious glass of mulled wine to warm your stomach whilst you walk through the market stalls on a cold winter’s night.
Being stuck in the office as the sun beats down outside is a pretty depressing experience. If you take a look out of your window, you may just be able to see couples strolling through the park, or sunbathers relaxing on the beach with a cool, refreshing drink in hand.
Even worse, you may turn your head to gaze wistfully out of the window to find you can see nothing at all. Maybe your office overlooks an industrial estate, or maybe you’re stuck in a basement room with a wall or set of steel steps as your only glimpse of the outside world. All you can do is imagine all the sun-kissed fun going on outside. Maybe an eccentric millionaire is giving out free ice cream sundaes, or perhaps an impromptu waterslide has been set up for everyone’s enjoyment. The possibilities are endless.
