Exploring Berlin

A few days ago we were in Berlin and even though it was cold we got lost in the beauty and the history of city. Berlin has a deep history, it has gone through division, tragedy, reunification and has transformed for the better over the years. It is a city that is worth a visit. The architecture of the city is absolutely beautiful. We love how well the modern and historic buildings co-exist. The city also has a wonderful sense of creative freedom. We even saw a few people wearing High Spirit Bags, which was Epic! :-). Check out our journey.

Global Citizen: Meet Lauren

We had the amazing pleasure of meeting Lauren! She is actually one of our customers and she has been a huge fan of High Spirit since the beginning! :-) She is smart, funny, driven and ambitious. We believe she has a bright future ahead of her! Meet Lauren! :-)

What is your favourite thing about living in London?

I love that every part is different and there’s always something new to do. I’ve lived here my whole life and I don't think I’ll ever get bored of it. Like Samuel Johnson said, ‘When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life.’

Where in the World would you like to visit?

Australia, definitely. I’ve had this obsession with it since I was really young and grew up watching programmes and documentaries about it. Plus they have the coolest animals and England’s a bit lacking in cool animals.

Where is your favourite place to eat in London?

This place called The Diner in Shoreditch, it has the best pancakes

What do you love doing?

I like hiking. It’s a great way to relax, when you live in London it’s super easy to forget that there’s stuff outside of the city haha

3 favourite things everyone should do in London?

1. Walk along the Thames

2. Go to a gig because there’s always loads on

3. Go Geocaching

Top 5 Thanksgiving Travel Tips

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and a lot of you will be catching flights and travelling to be with your loved ones in other parts of the World. We just wanted to share our Top 5 tips in order to make your travel arrangements a little bit easier: -

(1) Plan, Plan, Plan and Arrive Early

Travelling is fun, but it really helps to plan your journey in advance. Arriving at the airport early is important so you can check in on time and avoid missing your flight. It’s best to plan everything so nothing gets in your way to catching that plane to see your friends and family.

Also, try to avoid travelling a day before Thanksgiving because that is one of the busiest travel days of the year. 

(2) Travel Light

Travelling light makes the whole experience less stressful and you don’t have to worry about baggage allowance and you will also avoid any further potential luggage expenses. Mastering the art of travelling light is a skill in itself, but it’s worth it. In order to help with packing it really helps to write a list of all the things you need to carry with you. This helps you to keep a track of the things you need and helps you avoid carrying unnecessary things on your journey.

(3) Charged Up

Don’t forget to carry your chargers for your phones, iPads, Kindles, Laptops and any other devices.  There is a lot of waiting at airports so it helps to have some entertainment ready to make time fly!

(4) Look out for delays

If there are any delays with your flight check your Airline’s social media. The information may also be available on the Airline’s app.

Just in case of any delays it is important to know your rights. According to EU Passenger Rights it states that ‘If you are faced with a delay, the airline is obligated to offer you care during this delay. 

You can find out about your passenger rights for the USA and the rest of the World right HERE.

(5) Don’t forget your toothbrush and enjoy your Trip!

Hope that helps guys!

Have a safe journey and have a Wonderful Thanksgiving! :-)
