When borders open, name your dream travel destination:
Skiing Chamonix in Europe.
To wrap this up, let’s end with a personal recommendation:
I recommend checking out your local hiking trails to really see what is in your backyard. I found it surprising, the beauty of the countryside so close to the city I’ve lived in for 40 years and never realised we had.
