For my 21st I went to Amsterdam
for a weekend. Prior to that, for my 18th I went to Dublin for a
weekend. A month ago, I went to London for two days. And as much as I enjoyed
these holidays looking back. I struggled with certain aspects because I was not
prepared for a City holiday.

When I think of a holiday, I
imagine myself lying by a pool with multiple cocktails surrounded by me. That
when I was packing for my City holiday... I just was not prepared AT ALL. I
have another City holiday booked for next weekend and I thought I would share
