Hong Kong

The vibrant city of Hong Kong offers a colourful mix of old Chinese traditions and new influences from the past British colonial rule. There are three main areas of Hong Kong – the bustling cities of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, and the mountainous countryside of the New Territories. There are also the outlying islands, which offer more tranquil escapes from the city.

Lisbon is one of Europe’s leading capital cities and has grown considerably in the past few years as a real contender as a must see.

I travel to Lisbon every year as my family are originally from Portugal and even though I was born in the UK I absolutely adore my heritage and love going back.

The flight to Lisbon from a London airport is approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes and many airlines will take you there including BA, TAP and even Monarch.

The airport is very easy to get around, signs are very clear (also in English) and it is very well organised, especially since the European Cup was held there in 2004. The Portuguese updated all the main airports and attractions to cater for the thousands of visitors they had.

Lisbon is a big city so depending on where
