For the first time since November 2018 - when I was about 4 months pregnant with my first child - I travelled on my own in January. While our children regularly spend a night or two with their grandmother and my husband and I go on a staycation once a year, this was the first time in a very long time that I actually got on an airplane without my family and spent three nights in another country. Here are some insights that I got during this travel.

„Welcome to Singapore, Ladies and Gentlemen, and to all Singaporeans and residents of Singapore, a warm welcome home“. Two and a half years have passed since we last heard that sentence on a Singapore Airlines flight. At the end of 2019, we took our baby onto a 12h flight for his first Christmas and celebrated with friends on the other side of the world. Shortly after that, the pandemic hit. And now, we are back here, one pandemic and a baby later.
