Thinking about a day trip from Amsterdam? Try Utrecht. Canals, cafés, Miffy, seriously amazing museums, a gorgeous library, an arty light trail and the tallest church tower in the Netherlands.

Hello, I'm Helen and I'm a trainspotter, so going on a bullet train was obviously a non-negotiable for my quick trip to Japan!

Luckily I found some great short bullet train trips from Tokyo 🚅

A1 I'm another one who brings back a decoration for the Christmas tree, and a magnet of course! This is the most recent one.

Still can't quite believe this pic is real or that I got to stay here!

Got my first view of Mount Fuji before I'd even landed in Tokyo 🥹

Probably only my local one in Manchester this year but I'm here for the inspo!

My favourite was Copenhagen, the Tivoli park was wonderfully festive 😍

My planning for Japan is out of control 😂

What's the one thing I shouldn't miss on my first trip to Tokyo?

Visited Northern Ireland for the first time this year and got to see the Giant's Causeway. What an amazing place!

A mist rolled in off the sea while we were there, making it all look even more magical and mysterious ✨
