There’s a Facebook group called girls love travel. Part of me loves it and part of me hates it. Obviously, I love to travel and as a solo traveller, it’s interesting to hear what other women around the world think of travel.

Moscow seems like a scary city to arrive in. It has four airports, Domodedovo, Sheremetyovo, Vnukovo and Zhukovsky airport. You will probably arrive at Domodevdovo or Sheremetryovo.

When people ask me what my favourite country is, I always say Thailand. Thailand is such a diverse country and you just can’t compare the countryside in the North to the hedonistic partying that happens in the Southern Islands. It has something for everyone which was why I decided to visit it in my summer…
