Hi, I’m Helen Wright, a UK-travel vlogger, blogger and travel journalist from London (via essex).
This video is slightly different to our normal videos. I thought I would give you a chance to get to know me a bit more but it’s mostly about what to pack (and what NOT to pack!) in your carry on bag when you are flying long-haul. Plus – you get to meet Gremlin – my fluffy white Lionhead Rabbit and passportstamps mascot. Time stamps are below in case you don’t wan’t to watch the whhhoooooole thing…
