I'm a female solo traveller - this is the safest country in the world
'I spent a few days by myself in Abu Dhabi recently on my way back from South Africa and felt very comfortable walking around and travelling by myself.'
I take my kids out of school to travel. Their teachers don't always like it, but they learn so much through seeing the world.
For example, although my kids learned about the Holocaust in school, visiting museums and gas chambers in Auschwitz elevated their understanding of it and taught them even more about the horrific genocide.
