It’s no surprise that Netflix influences our daily lives. Sometimes the only thing you wanna do at the weekend is binge the latest series that dominates your socials. Even if the only reason is to avoid any spoilers.
Plus, the more time you spend indoors before Europe Summer season, the more chance you have of saving $$$ for that legendary trip, right? RIGHT 😉
Speaking of Netflix (cos yep, there’s a point), so many films and shows are influencing where we wanna travel. Ready to experience some awesome Netflix locations IRL?
Our Play & Pause: Britain & Ireland trip is the place to do it.
