replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife I booked through a company that no longer operates in the UK (or potentially at all!) I was only alone for 10-15 minutes, but it felt like a lifetime! I honestly believed that I was going to die there, but it hasn't stopped me from exploring the world. #TTOT
