A woman has spent $17k on travelling this year alone and leaves her boyfriend at home to go on solo trips. Skylie Shore, 21, has loved travelling since she was a teenager and now prioritises it over anything else. This year she has been to five countries and done four solo trips - spending $7k. Skylie is leaving her boyfriend, Stephen Pogorilich, 24, behind at the end of August for a two month trip around Europe, Japan and Canada - costing her a further $10k. The pair still love to take trips together but travel obsessed Skylie doesn't want a relationship holding her back from exploring the world.

Ryanair calls for alcoholic drink limit at EU airports amid legal action against unruly passenger
Ryanair is calling on European authorities to limit the sale of alcoholic beverages at airports across the continent, as the Irish airline continues legal action against a passenger who it says caused a costly flight diversion last year. Ryanair alleges that this passenger's “inexcusable behaviour” on a flight from Dublin to Lanzarote in Spain's Canary Islands was so disruptive that it forced the aircraft to divert to Porto, Portugal for safety — where crew members and over 160 other passengers were later delayed overnight. After announcing its civil suit against the passenger last week, Ryanair on Monday shared further information detailing the costs it incurred for excess fuel, lodging, legal fees and more as a result of this diversion.
