Vietnam Part 1

Last week we had the privilege of staying at the absolutely incredible InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort It was, with out a doubt, one of the most incredible hotels I’ve ever visited in the world! The design, attention to detail, location and of course, our hosts, were next level! Hand on heart, I can not recommend staying here enough! We also had the pleasure to visit the beautiful town of Hoi A for wonderful shopping, delicious food and great, delicious a Vietnamese coffee & people watching (one of my favorite past times!)

One of the biggest myths about the Maldives is that there’s only one “perfect” time to visit ☀️🌴

The reality is the Maldives enjoys warm temperatures year round thanks to its location near the equator. The ocean stays beautifully warm, the days are bright for most of the year and even tropical showers are usually short and quickly replaced by sunshine.

What many people don’t realise is how spread out the Maldives actually is. The islands stretch such a huge distance that the weather can be completely different from one atoll to another. It can literally be raining on one island while the next is enjoying blue skies.

Some of my favourite trips have actually been outside the traditional peak season. Resorts can offer far better value, availability is better and the whole experience often feels calmer and less crowded.

Don’t let a weather app put you off your dream trip. Tropical weather changes fast and the Maldives is stunning in every season.

I’ve travelled there in February, March, May, July, September and November and every visit has had gorgeous weather mixed with those dramatic tropical moments the Maldives is famous for.

So many families are now choosing to homeschool their children from beautiful villas around the world

And honestly… it makes a lot of sense

It can be a surprisingly cost-effective option, especially for longer stays
You get the chance to explore new countries and cultures together
You can base yourselves somewhere with incredible weather
And the best part? Family and friends from back home can come and join you

Why villas make it work so well:

Space for learning – proper areas for laptops, books and routine
Privacy – no distractions, no busy hotel environments
Flexibility – structure your day around your family, not a schedule
Home-from-home comfort – kitchens, living space and room to breathe

This is what modern family life can look like
Lessons in the morning, then afternoons spent exploring, swimming or just enjoying being together somewhere new

Some of the best destinations for this lifestyle:
Sri Lanka
Thailand
Portugal
Bali
Spain

Whether you’re thinking about a few weeks or a full term, I can help you find the right villa, in the right place, for your family

No stress. No endless searching. Just something that actually works

🚨 British Passport Prices Are Going UP 🚨

If your passport is due to expire soon… this is your sign to act NOW 👇

From 8th April, UK passport fees are increasing — meaning you’ll pay more for something you’re going to need anyway.

✈️ Adult passport increasing from £94.50 - £102.00
✈️ Child passport: increasing £61.50 - £66.00
✈️ Fast-track services & postal service es, also going up!

💡 My advice?
If you’ve got less than 6–9 months left on your passport (or planning travel this year), renew it now before the price hike hits.

Don’t let a last-minute panic (or extra cost) ruin your holiday plans.

📩 Message me if you’re unsure about validity rules for your next trip — this is where people get caught out ALL the time.

8 facts about being a Travel Counsellor during Global Crisis…
1. Not for the faint-hearted.
This job is crisis management in disguise. Flights cancel, airspace closes, clients get stuck… and we fix it.
2. Right now? This matters more than ever.
Summer is will be unpredictable. Things are changing fast. This is your chance to save yourself a LOT of future grief.
3. The detail is next level.
Routes, backup routes, visas, insurance, airline rules… we’re already 5 steps ahead.
4. When it goes wrong… we step in.
No 2am panic-Googling. We’ve got you.
5. We save you TIME, STRESS & MONEY.
We deal with the airlines, the hold times, the chaos. You just enjoy your holiday.
6. There are no off hours.
If something happens, we’re on it. Simple.
7. What you don’t see is everything.
Calls, emails, escalations, the favours… all handled. You just get “all sorted 😊”
8. This is NOT a side hustle.
Let me be really clear — if you’re treating this like a “little extra income”… you are doing your clients a disservice.
This job demands everything. 18-hour days, constant pressure, total focus. No employer on earth would accept this level of time and energy going elsewhere, so why would your clients?
It’s all in or don’t do it.

You can book it yourself… of course.

But for the Eid & summer, anytime…
Having someone in your corner could be the difference between a dream trip… and a nightmare.

Trust me on this one

Which would you choose?

Walking Safari OR Horseback Safari in Africa?

Imagine stepping into the wild on foot — every crunch of leaves, every distant call, every fresh track telling a story. A walking safari lets you experience Africa at ground level, guided by experts who bring the bush to life through sound, scent, and signs you’d otherwise miss. 🦒

Or picture yourself riding through vast open plains, moving quietly alongside zebra and antelope, feeling the rhythm of the land beneath you. A horseback safari is pure freedom — an exhilarating, soulful way to explore Africa’s most breathtaking landscapes. 🦓

Two unforgettable ways to connect with nature.
Two once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

So… which one’s calling your name? 🌍✨

✨Maldives Weather: Expect the Unexpected! ✨

One thing you need to know about the Maldives… the weather LOVES to keep you guessing! ☀️🌧️

Sitting just by the equator, the islands stay fabulously warm and tropical all year long. Think 8 hours of sunshine a day, and water that rarely dips below 25°C — basically, a natural heated swimming pool.

And because the Maldives stretches over 500 miles from north to south, each island plays by its own weather rules. You can literally be sunbathing on your lounger while watching a rain shower on the island next door. It’s wild… and wonderful.

Here’s my golden rule:
👉 Don’t obsess over the forecast! Not before your holiday, not during your holiday, not ever.

Avoiding peak winter season?

Smart move! You’ll enjoy:
✨ Better rates
✨ Better chance of room upgrades
✨ More peaceful islands
✨ And that gorgeous “I’ve escaped the crowds” feeling

In the Maldives, there is truly no wrong time to go — the magic never stops.

For the record… I’ve visited in February March, May, June, July, August, September, October, November AND December — and every trip has been incredible.
