In 2005 I was offered the chance to enhance my career by moving to the U.K. and working on the longhaul flights from London's Heathrow Airport to cities in Asia, including Hong Kong, Bangkok and Singapore. I lived in England for two and a half years and in that time I visited many parts of Europe, America and Asia and had the time of my life!
