Western Canada had been on my bucket list for years, and I finally experienced it in style with Rocky Mountaineer – and it absolutely lived up to the dream.
I have recreated the trip so you can take in the wonders of Western Canada yourself.

Flying Premium Cabin with Air Canada from Heathrow to Vancouver, where you will spend two nights at The Sutton Place Hotel exploring the city. Highlights included a foodie walking tour in historic Gastown and an exhilarating zodiac tour out on the water, taking in the skyline and local wildlife from a completely different perspective.
From Vancouver board the iconic Rocky Mountaineer in GoldLeaf Service for an unforgettable two-day rail journey through the Rockies. Glass-domed carriages, incredible service, chef-prepared breakfasts and lunches onboard, and ever-changing views of snow-dusted peaks, forests and turquoise rivers made this a real once-in-a-lifetime experience.
After an overnight in Jasper at Whistler’s Inn, join a local foodie tour to discover small, independent spots I would never have found on my own. Then on to Banff, staying at the lovely Peaks Hotel & Suites, with a full-day Icefields Discovery Tour en route including the Columbia Icefield, Ice Explorer and Skywalk. The following day you can visit the picture-perfect Lake Louise, which is every bit as beautiful in real life as the photos suggest.
The journey finishes with a night at the stylish Le Germain Hotel Calgary before flying home with Air Canada. Private transfers throughout are included everything seamless, so you can just relax and soak up the scenery.
This kind of itinerary, with premium flights, luxury rail, handpicked hotels and immersive local tours, starts from around £8,147 per person for 2027 dates. If Western Canada and the Rocky Mountaineer are on your wish list, I would love to share more photos, tips and ideas, and design something similar around your own dates and budget.

Did you know I could book sailing holidays? Why not Sail into your next adventure
I’ve just booked an incredible 7‑night sailing holiday for 6 adults for September 2027:
around the Greek Islands in the Mediterranean, with flights, transfers, a skippered yacht for the week and overnight hotel accommodation, all for around £2,500 per person. An amazing way to explore different islands in one unforgettable trip.
If you love the idea of waking up in a new bay each morning, diving straight into crystal‑clear water and dropping anchor at pretty harbours for dinner, a sailing holiday could be perfect for you.
I can arrange:
Skippered sailing, so you simply sit back, relax and let someone else do the hard work
Or bareboat (own‑sail) charters if you prefer to take the helm yourself
The freedom to stop where you want, swim when you like and discover hidden coves
Flexibility to eat onboard under the stars or moor up and dine in charming local restaurants
Sailing holidays available in:
The Mediterranean
Caribbean
UK waters
South Pacific
South East Asia
It really is an idyllic way to see so many places in one trip, at your own pace.
If this sounds like your kind of escape, message me to start planning your sailing holiday today.

Lapland is definitely the destination of the week for my customers right now: from magical family adventures in search of Santa to adults-only Northern Lights escapes, there is so much to fall in love with up here in the Arctic.
Over the years I’ve been lucky enough to visit Lapland 6 times, and I’ll be heading back again in 2027 with a hosted group for an unforgettable snowmobile adventure.
Lapland is so much more than snow and Santa:
Husky and reindeer rides
Snowmobile safaris
Ice fishing and frozen lake flotation
Skiing and fat bikes
Stays in glass igloos under the Northern Lights
If Lapland is on your wish list for a festive family break or a grown-up winter escape, I would love to help you plan something truly special.
All photos are from my travels to different locations in Lapland.

What a journey for my lovely customers currently hiking with Intrepid on Mount Kilimanjaro.
After the recent fires in the region, we were unsure if their original plans could go ahead. Then, a last–minute flight reroute led to an unexpected overnight in Istanbul before they finally arrived into Tanzania to begin their trek.
Throughout it all, Intrepid and I were on hand, working behind the scenes to keep everything on track and get them safely to the starting point.
Seeing their photos now from the slopes of Kilimanjaro, smiling and soaking up those incredible views, makes every twist and turn worthwhile. This is exactly why booking with a personal travel expert matters: so you always have someone in your corner when plans change.
If you are dreaming of your own big adventure but want support from start to finish, I would love to help you plan it.
