I am not unique in enjoying some reflection at this time of the year. While time seems to fly, it is when we reflect that we realise that there is indeed a full year behind us!

During 2014 I was privileged to travel to some wonderful places – some I have been to many times before and others for the first time. And while I enjoy the familiarity of some of the destinations we frequent, an introduction to a foreign culture stays one of my favourite things – whether I am visiting for work or leisure.
