  • One Month to Go – The First Class Travel Experience

    I’m now one month out from what I hope will be an amazing experience in Africa. My Africa trip was originally planned for 2014 but had to be cancelled which might be for the best as I’m now going to have my first ever First Class travelling experience and it’s on one of the best rated First Class airlines Emirates. So even the travelling experience is something I’m looking forward to.
