London

When you travel always be open to new experiences or events. Attending the Notting Hill Carnival was not on my list when I planned my trip to England. My son discovered it was going on while we were there and wanted to go. Now this was definitely stepping out of my comfort zone and I am glad he made me go. Learn more about this great event and how to open yourself up to new things. https://midlifemilestones.com/find-the-unexpected/
