“Travel has always been my favourite luxury, but I do it differently these days.

Previously, I would only take one or two big holidays a year, which tended to be week-long jaunts to far-flung places.

However, having seen my passport collecting dust for years on end, I’ve made a pledge to really make the most of my weekends, cramming in as many trips as my budget will allow.

We’re so lucky living in Europe that you don’t need to take annual leave to go abroad – places like Paris and Amsterdam are totally doable as a two-night stay – and I’ve realised that for me, it’s the thrill of being somewhere different (rather than the indulgence of a week on a beach) that’s the true luxury.

Even a UK-based day-trip can help scratch the itch – popping a bottle of Freixenet Cordon Negro Cava on a sweltering Brighton beach, you could almost be in Barcelona…”
