My first solo trip abroad was at the age of 16 to Spain, following classic British holidays to the south of France with my family. My travels have since taken me far and wide. It's safe to say I picked up the travel bug early in life, realising that so much could be learned when you are out of your comfort zone. I turned 26 earlier this year, and I've somehow managed to visit 30 countries so far, hitting up Europe, Asia, Africa, and the US. From far away trips to New Zealand to popping over to Denmark for a weekend, every destination has taught me a valuable lesson. Here's what I learned.
