I write this on a plane, in between Budapest and Moscow, heading towards the second leg of a five stop tour that encompasses these two cities along with Dubai, Athens and, finally Munich, over the space of a couple of weeks.

It's an amazing opportunity to not only do what we're here for - which is to hold a series of social media and PR workshops with local teams on behalf of a client - but also to see first hand some places I've personally never been to, despite having done the odd bit of travelling over the last 20 years. I feel hugely privileged.

I'm super excited about Moscow in particular, as it's the most obviously removed from my own culture. I have been given the mission to acquire at least one set of Russian dolls for the journey home, to keep the mini Goolds on-side. Sadly I didn't get to see too much of Budapest - but then there's always next time. Apparently it's minus 15 in Moscow at present.

Right, onto the next item - how to get some tour teeshirts printed...
