How to stay comfortable on an airplane

After just having flown on three different planes in five days and travelling my whole life, I am no stranger to the uncomfortable plane ride, but here are my top 4 hacks/tips to make travelling on a plane easier.

1.)  Bring snacks and water. you can fill up your water bottle after security, and you can buy chips and other amazing snacks via duty-free. This saves on having to drink coffee and tea in the air, which uses disgusting water and having to shell out money on food up in the air that isn't that great of quality; it is also very easy to get dehydrated when flying.

2.)  Have something to do. I know it seems pretty obvious, but a good book, downloaded episodes or movies on Netflix, music, that kind of stuff can really make the time go faster and make it less obvious that you are bored and having to be stuck in a plane for however long.

3.) Layers. now it is not rocket science to know that being in a plane flying from one place to another is going to be a bit chilly, so having a jacket or scarf to wear can be a fantastic idea, and if you get too hot, you can always take it off and use it as a pillow or blanket instead

4.) Get a window seat. I know sometimes you are not always in control of the situation but if you get a window seat if possible. taking photos of take-off and landing is always fun and makes some amazing Instagram posts. You also can control the window and if it is up or down and you will get less disturbed because fellow passengers won't have to wake you if they need to get up to go toilet or get something out of their bag.

Moving to a new country | with kids

Moving to a new country can be exciting but nerve wracking add in children and it can feel overwhelming to say the least, today I want to share all the advice and tips I have to move overseas after having just made an overseas move for myself with my two young daughters.   Mid January I moved from New Zealand back to Australia, some of you may know that I was actually born in Australia and lived over here until 2011 so for me this was about returning home but for my kids it was moving countries for the first time and while my youngest had no idea what was going on as she was only 3 months old my eldest had a range of emotions and it was honestly quite tough on her at times.   My first bit of advice is to just talk about the move, explain why you’re moving and what to expect in an age-appropriate way so that they can better understand what is going on, talk about all the positives with the move    that would interest them from new experiences to making new friend...

The benefit of learning a new language and tips on how to do it

  Learning a new language can be such a rewarding learning experience. I have been using Duolingo since April 2022 to learn Spainish after years of struggling but wanting to learn the language. I now have had a streak since the 10th April 2022 without missing a day and have learned a lot so I though I would compile a list of the benefits of learning a new language and some tips on how to do it for those of you who also want to learn another language.  Benefits of learning a new language 1. Cognitive enhancement: Learning a new language can boost your memory and recall abilities. Multilingual individuals also tend to have improved problem-solving and critical-thinking skills. 2.

Career Advantages: Being bilingual or multilingual opens up more job opportunities and can lead to higher...
