Name: Alice Tate
Occupation: London OC contributor
Travel destination: Warsaw, Poland
Carry-on necessities: M&D headphones, extra Tabio socks, and a salmon and cream cheese bagel—6 AM flights call for breakfast snacks.

Most over-played track on your iPhone this trip: "Made To Stray" by Mount Kimbie
Favorite outfit to travel in: Layers! Poland is freaking cold. Wouldn’t have survived without my T by Alexander Wang vest + tee + longsleeve combo.
Highlight of your trip: Falling into a merry slumber on my boyfriend’s lap in the pub after one too many drowsy-inducing mulled wines. Polish mulled wine is potent!
Best Part: Getting enjoyably lost and confused in the pretty backstreets of Old City, staying warm and boozy with ++++ cups of cheap mulled wine, and finding our way back by following the shiny star at the top of the big Christmas tree.
Souvenirs you brought back: Cheap Zubrowka vodka!Photos by Alice Tate
