Can you believe weโ€™re only three weeks away from spring? ๐ŸŒบ

Before we know it, Christmas will be here! I donโ€™t know about you, but after all the chilly, wet weather weโ€™ve had in Sydney, Iโ€™m so ready to pack away the jumpers! ๐Ÿฅถ

To celebrate the approach of Spring, Iโ€™m giving away a limited number of Travel Vouchers, redeemable against your next holiday booked with me.

Have you booked your Christmas/New year holidays yet? ๐ŸŽ„
Itโ€™ll be here before we know itโ€ฆ. How fast has the year flown already?

So many great options: an island beach holiday in the South Pacific, Indonesia or even Hawaiiโ€ฆ. Or something a little more festive and Euro snowy winter - Christmas markets river cruise; skiing in Canada or the Italian Dolomites; so many amazing choices! Of course thereโ€™s so many great destinations locally too!

Or are you like me and already thinking about planning a Euro trip for next year? Anything Europe Summer is always in my โ€™planning brainโ€™.

Thought about a cruise in the Mediterranean, but love a little luxury and just not a fan of the huge cruise ships?

Then an Emerald Cruise might be for you.... It's definitely on my bucket list!

Emerald Cruisesโ€™ contemporary ocean-going yachts are designed to make the most of the glorious climate and fantastic views across the Mediterranean & Adriatic.

Designed to guarantee complete comfort on your Mediterranean cruise, Emerald luxury yachts provide an abundance of space for socialising and for relaxing in your own company. Enjoy culinary delights in La Cucina Dining and join new-found friends for drinks at the Amici Bar & Lounge or the Sky Bar. Head to the Marina Platform for an exciting swim stop in the Mediterranean & Adriatic Sea with an array of marina toys, or simply unwind in the cooling Aqua Pool.

From the iconic blue domes of Mykonos to the crystalline water of the Cรดte dโ€™Azur, thereโ€™s plenty of sights to see and wonders to enjoy on your sun-kissed Mediterranean cruise.

Relax & rejuvinate in the Elements Spa & Wellness Centre, after a long day of exploring. Or wake early and watch the sunrise before doing a workout in the fully equipped gym.

From the freshest seafood to locally-sourced fruits and exotic spices, savour the authentic flavours of each fascinating destination Emerald luxury yachts sail into.

Youโ€™ll love an Emerald Cruises Mediterranean cruise for its perfect blend of relaxed luxury, small-ship intimacy, and unforgettable destinations. With fewer guests on board, youโ€™ll enjoy personalised service, stylish modern suites, and a laid-back yet elegant vibe.

With many cruises to choose from throughout the region, the hardest part of the journey, will be which cruise to choose!

When you book your holiday through me, you wonโ€™t pay more than if you booked it yourself online, but you will gain a whole lot more.

As a travel agent, Iโ€™m paid by the suppliers, not by you, so there are no hidden fees or extra costs for my service.

By choosing to book with me, you're supporting a small, local business rather than a big overseas corporation and that means real, personalised service; thoughtful travel advice and someone who genuinely cares about making your trip unforgettable.

Thank you for supporting me & my small business, it is truly appreciated โฃ๏ธ

For me, travel has never just been about ticking off destinations, itโ€™s about those unforgettable moments that stay with you forever. The kind that become part of your story, long after the suitcase is unpacked.

As your Travel Agent, I take the time to understand what matters most to you. Whether itโ€™s solo travel, a family getaway, or that long-dreamed-of European escape, I handle the planning from start to finish: the logistics, the special touches, and those hidden gems that make a trip truly special.

What I love most? Hearing from my clients when they return - the memories theyโ€™ve made, the perspectives theyโ€™ve gained, and the joy of knowing it all came together exactly as they'd hopedโ€ฆ or better.

Let me help create your next adventure. One thatโ€™s meaningful, seamless, and uniquely yours. Because lifeโ€™s too short for average, forgettable holidays.

Think youโ€™ve done Italy? Think again.โ€จMost travellers miss Matera, and thatโ€™s exactly why you should go.

Two years ago, I explored this ancient city carved into stone, and itโ€™s a place I didnโ€™t spend long enough.

In my new blog post, Iโ€™m sharing why Matera might just be Italyโ€™s most underrated gem, and why it deserves a spot on your next itinerary!

Many people are using ChatGPT these days and it can be extremely useful for some things.

It has become a popular tool for travellers to design for them a full travel itinerary. While it can look very impressive, I would be very cautious about fully trusting it. By all means use some of the suggestions, but double check them with a reputable travel agent, or friend/family recommendations.

A good example I heard recently of someone that relied on Chat GPT for an itinerary, was a couple in their 50's that asked it if it was a good idea to go to Ios Greece mid Summer (they like relaxation - not partying). Chat GPT told them it was a great island to visit and suggested where to stay on the island.

Upon arriving (in peak Summer period) they realised they were surrounded by 18-21 year olds. They checked in to their recommended accommodation and were initially impressed, but not long after were inundated with the nearby thumping club/beach bar music which went well into all hours of the morning.

A travel expert (like me who specialises in Greece) would have known not to recommend a 'party island' like Ios in the peak of Summer, there are so many other quieter islands to enjoy at that time of year. Ios is certainly a beautiful island, but the Spring/Autumn seasons would be a far better choice for a couple in their 50's to visit. And if they still insisted on visiting Ios in peak Summer, I would have placed them in a quieter part of the island, far away from the party scene.....

So next time you're thinking of using Chat GPT to design your itinerary, do your own research diligently, or better yet let a professional like myself, do it for you. Happy Travels! ๐Ÿ˜Š

๐Ÿ’ซ Choose daily yoga or Pilates by the ocean, or dive into COMO Shambhala Retreatโ€™s holistic spa offerings - think massages, facials, and mindful movement in a tranquil setting.

๐Ÿ’ซ The resort boasts 119 rooms, including luxurious lagoonโ€‘pool residences, twoโ€‘bedroom private pool residences, and some of Baliโ€™s finest penthousesโ€”three-bedroom duplexes with rooftop pools and curved arch detailing.
