The summer travel season is coming up and despite the dramas of recent months (recession, strikes, volcanoes, political unrest) no one is cancelling their breaks. If you’re like me and realise just days before you leave that you’re completely unprepared (for the same holiday you booked months beforehand and really did see coming) then Muji will be your saviour. There’s a branch on Tottenham Court Road, just a short walk from our office, and I’ve found everything from earplugs and travel pillows to rainmacs and travel organisers.  Trust me – you will find everything you need to make your trip fluster free.

Bon voyage.
