The Dominican Republic has more to share than beautiful beaches! 🇩🇴

I went to Toronto with my team from MACS Travel for the “meet in paradise” event and came home excited to show you a different side of the Dominican Republic.

Together, we dived into the traditions that make this destination so special. From crafting Mamajuana and painting “muñecas sin rostro” to mastering tapioca recipes, we experienced the vibrant culture firsthand. We also learned about the country’s landscapes and experiences beyond the resorts.

That’s what I came home excited to share: ways to connect with Dominican culture, try something new together and bring home stories you’ll still tell years later.

Which would you try first: making Mamajuana, painting a faceless doll or learning merengue? Tell me below!

Toronto, here I come! 🇨🇦🛫

I’m heading to a special Dominican Republic event for one reason: you. Whether it's finding the perfect beach for a family reunion or the quietest pool for a couple's getaway, I'm connecting with top resort providers to get the inside scoop.

Providing the best service means being there in person to see what's new, so I can plan the trip you've always said "we should do." 🤍

Stay tuned for my updates from the event! What’s your dream Dominican Republic experience? Tell me in the comments. 🇩🇴✨

Same destination, different week, completely different vacation.

A local festival could fill the streets with music, food and traditions you’ll remember for years. A public holiday could also mean busier attractions, shop closures or changes to transport schedules.

Before choosing your travel dates, check the local calendar and consider the experience you want: joining the celebrations or exploring at a quieter pace.

Could you describe your suitcase accurately if the airline lost it?

Before checking your luggage, take a clear photo of the outside of your suitcase. Capture its colour, size, brand and any identifying features. It can help airline staff identify the correct bag if your luggage is delayed or misplaced.

Take a second photo of the packed contents and keep your baggage tag somewhere safe. These small steps can make a lost luggage report much easier to complete.

Imagine coming home from Barcelona and saying, “Remember that afternoon?”

The light inside Sagrada FamĂ­lia that stopped you mid-sentence.

A leisurely lunch among the Penedès vineyards, with local cava and nowhere to rush.

The stories behind Gaudí’s buildings that made you notice details you would have walked right past.

Those are the experiences I love helping travellers make room for. The ones that come up in conversation long after the suitcases are unpacked.

Which would you choose for your Barcelona trip: the beautiful light, the vineyards, or Gaudí’s hidden details? Tell me in the comments.

Imagine coming home from Ireland and saying, “Remember when I hung upside down off a castle to kiss a rock?”

That’s Blarney Stone at Blarney Castle near Cork. Legend says one kiss gives you the gift of the gab, the ability to charm people with your words and always know just what to say.

Sounds simple… until you’re lying on your back, gripping the rails and leaning backwards with a staff member supporting you. Suddenly, you wonder how much charm you really need.

People queue for this moment. Millions have done it over 600 years, including Winston Churchill. A hundred years ago, they actually dangled people over the edge by their ankles with no rails at all.

I did it. The views from the top of Blarney Castle alone are stunning, even if you decide to skip the kiss.

Would you give it a go, or happily stay behind the camera? Tell me in the comments!

If Ireland is on your list, send me a message with IRELAND and I’ll send you how I’d fit Blarney into a perfect itinerary.

Your shoes could be taking up valuable space in your suitcase!

Trying to stay within your airline baggage allowance? Wear your heaviest pair on the plane, especially bulky sneakers or boots. This leaves more room in your suitcase and can help reduce the weight of your checked or carry-on luggage.

For extra comfort during the flight, pack a lightweight pair of socks or slippers in your personal item and change once you’re seated.

A small packing decision can make a big difference at the airport.
