Having spent years working as a chef, I know that food is so much more than something we eat. It's part of a destination's identity, history and culture. And sometimes, the best way to discover a place is to step into a local kitchen and learn from the people who call it home.

Or, how about any of these:

🍷 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗮 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗜𝘁𝗮𝗹𝘆.

These experiences offer something that even the most beautiful hotel cannot provide on its own: a deeper connection with the people, traditions and culture of a destination.

And that's something I believe travel should be about.

At The Trailblazer Travel, we love the idea of journeys that leave you with more than memories.

Sometimes it's a conversation with a local, a breathtaking view, a new flavour or a quiet moment somewhere completely unfamiliar.

It's these experiences that stay with us long after we've returned home.

At The Trailblazer Travel, we believe that meaningful travel is about more than simply visiting destinations.

It's about discovering, connecting and creating memories that become part of your story. 💚

Imagine waking up on the 𝘼𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙣𝙨 𝙍𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙧𝙖, stepping outside and having breakfast waiting beside your own pool. ☀️🥐

Sometimes it’s the little moments that make a holiday memorable - a slow morning, blue skies, nowhere you need to be and the whole day still ahead of you.

This glimpse of 91 𝘼𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙣𝙨 𝙍𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙧𝙖 from one of our trusted travel partners certainly caught our attention.

And with Athens nearby, it opens up an interesting alternative to the traditional Greek island escape - combine the history and culture of the capital with a few days of Mediterranean relaxation by the coast.

🇺🇸 𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐓𝐄 𝟔𝟔 | 𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧…

There are road trips… and then there’s 𝙍𝙤𝙪𝙩𝙚 66.

From 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙜𝙤 𝙩𝙤 𝙇𝙤𝙨 𝘼𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙨, the legendary Mother Road takes you through an America that you simply don't experience by flying from one city to another.

🌆 Start among the architecture, blues and deep-dish pizza of Chicago
🎶 Follow old diners, neon signs and small-town Americana through Illinois and Missouri
🤠 Cross the wide-open landscapes of Oklahoma and Texas
🌵 Watch the scenery transform across New Mexico and Arizona
🏜️ Take a detour to the Grand Canyon
🌴 And eventually reach the Pacific at Santa Monica

But here's the part I particularly like…

𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙙𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙤𝙛 𝙞𝙩.

Route 66 can be the holiday, or simply part of it. You could drive one of its most interesting sections, combine it with the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas, or turn it into a much bigger American adventure.

And that's exactly the kind of travel I love putting together.

Not simply "Where do you want to go?" but…

𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙙𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙖𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙮?

Because sometimes getting there really is the best part. 🚗💨 🇺🇸

📩 If Route 66 has always been somewhere on your travel wish list, let's build your version of it.

🦁 𝐊𝐄𝐍𝐘𝐀 𝐎𝐑 𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐙𝐀𝐍𝐈𝐀?

Ask someone who has experienced an East African safari which they prefer, and you may struggle to get a straight answer.

And perhaps that's because 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙨𝙣'𝙩 𝙖 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙬𝙚𝙧.

🇰🇪 𝐊𝐞𝐧𝐲𝐚 might mean waking before dawn on the Laikipia Plateau, watching elephants cross vast private conservancies, then continuing south to the quieter reaches of the Mara North.

🇹🇿 𝐓𝐚𝐧𝐳𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐚 might mean the enormous skies of the Serengeti, baobabs in Tarangire and that unforgettable moment when you reach the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater and see the landscape unfold beneath you.

Two countries. Two extraordinary safari experiences.

And two beautiful journeys have caught my attention recently:

🌿 𝗞𝗲𝗻𝘆𝗮 - 𝗟𝗮𝗶𝗸𝗶𝗽𝗶𝗮 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵
6 nights from £5,160pp
Private conservancies, day and night game drives, bush walks, sundowners and intimate tented camps.

🐘 𝗧𝗮𝗻𝘇𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗮 - 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝘂𝗶𝘁
9 nights from £9,080pp
Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, travelling between the regions aboard a Sky Safari executive aircraft.

Both include flights from London, full-board accommodation, transfers, safari experiences and park/conservancy fees.

But for me, the interesting question isn't simply:

“𝙒𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙝 𝙨𝙖𝙛𝙖𝙧𝙞 𝙞𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧?”

It's:

“𝙒𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙝 𝙨𝙖𝙛𝙖𝙧𝙞 𝙞𝙨 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙮𝙤𝙪?”

Because one traveller might dream of quiet conservancies and nights beneath the African sky, while another has always imagined standing on the edge of Ngorongoro or watching the Serengeti wake at first light.

And that's where the planning becomes personal.

📩 If an African safari has been sitting on your wish list, let's talk about what your version should look like.

Prices and availability are subject to change.

🇺🇸 𝐔𝐒𝐀 𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐝𝐚? 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞? 🇨🇦

Sometimes the best journeys don't stop at the border.

The USA and Canada have some fantastic destinations that can be combined surprisingly naturally into one holiday - by road, rail, ferry or a short flight.

Imagine...

🗽 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗬𝗼𝗿𝗸 → 𝗧𝗼𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗼 → 𝗡𝗶𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝗙𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀
Big-city energy followed by one of the world's great natural spectacles.

🌲 𝗦𝗮𝗻 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼 → 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 → 𝗩𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗼𝘂𝘃𝗲𝗿 & 𝗩𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗼𝘂𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗜𝘀𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱
Follow the Pacific Coast north for cities, incredible food, mountains, wildlife and beautiful coastal scenery.

🍁 𝗕𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗻 → 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿é𝗮𝗹 → 𝗤𝘂é𝗯𝗲𝗰 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆
New England history followed by the food, architecture and French-Canadian character of Québec - particularly beautiful during autumn.

🏔️ 𝗚𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸 → 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗳𝗳 → 𝗟𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗲
One road trip, two countries and some of North America's most spectacular mountain landscapes.

And for something a little less obvious...

🎶 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗶𝘁 → 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗼𝗿
Motown, automotive history and the Great Lakes, with Canada sitting just across the river.

For me, that's what a great itinerary should do. It shouldn't feel like destinations have simply been stitched together.

𝗜𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆.

If North America is on your wish list, tell me what you'd love to experience and I'll help connect the dots.

🎨 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐌𝐚𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞?

When we think of the Maldives, the first images that usually come to mind are turquoise lagoons, white-sand beaches and overwater villas.

But some Maldivian resorts are becoming destinations for another reason entirely:

𝙀𝙭𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙤𝙧𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙧𝙮 𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙣.

At 𝙋𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙖 𝙈𝙖𝙡𝙙𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙨, architecture has deliberately been kept understated, allowing the landscape, ocean and changing light to become part of the design itself. Art installations are woven throughout the island rather than simply decorating the walls.

At 𝙅𝙊𝘼𝙇𝙄 𝙈𝙖𝙡𝙙𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙨, the island becomes almost an open-air gallery, with contemporary and interactive works integrated into the surroundings.

For those looking for wellness, 𝙅𝙊𝘼𝙇𝙄 𝘽𝙀𝙄𝙉𝙂 takes a different approach again, using organic shapes, natural textures and biophilic design to create spaces intended to encourage calm and connection with nature.

Then there's 𝙁𝙞𝙣𝙤𝙡𝙝𝙪, where colour and creativity take centre stage, and 𝙎𝙞𝙧𝙧𝙪 𝙁𝙚𝙣 𝙁𝙪𝙨𝙝𝙞, home to the semi-submerged 𝘾𝙤𝙧𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙪𝙢 – where art, the ocean and marine conservation come together.

It demonstrates something I talk about a lot:

𝙇𝙪𝙭𝙪𝙧𝙮 𝙞𝙨𝙣'𝙩 𝙨𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙮 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙨 𝙖 𝙝𝙤𝙩𝙚𝙡 𝙝𝙖𝙨.

Sometimes it's the architecture.
Sometimes it's art.
Sometimes it's how a space makes you feel.

And finding the right Maldives island isn't necessarily about finding the best resort.

It's about finding the one that feels right 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙮𝙤𝙪.

🌴 Thinking about the Maldives? Tell me what matters to you, and we can find an island that fits.

𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙮 𝙢𝙪𝙘𝙝 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙.

Sitting on the equator, Colombia doesn't experience the traditional four seasons we're used to in the UK. But that certainly doesn't mean the weather - or the experience - is the same everywhere.

In fact, Colombia's different regions can feel like completely different worlds.

🏝️ 𝘾𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙗𝙗𝙚𝙖𝙣 𝘾𝙤𝙖𝙨𝙩
Think warmth, colourful Cartagena, tropical beaches and a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere.

⛰️ 𝘾𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙢𝙗𝙞𝙖𝙣 𝘼𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙨
Cooler temperatures, dramatic mountain scenery, historic cities and lush valleys.

☕ 𝘾𝙤𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙚 𝘾𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙮
Rolling green hills, traditional fincas and the opportunity to discover the story behind one of Colombia's most famous exports.

🌿 𝘼𝙢𝙖𝙯𝙤𝙣 & 𝙊𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙤𝙘𝙤
Humid, tropical and extraordinarily biodiverse - somewhere for travellers who really want to immerse themselves in nature.

And that's what makes Colombia so interesting.

Perhaps the question isn't:

“𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙄 𝙫𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙩?”

It's:

“𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝘾𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙢𝙗𝙞𝙖 𝙙𝙤 𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚?”

Culture? 🏛️
Wildlife? 🦜
Beaches? 🌴
Coffee and cuisine? ☕
Mountains and adventure? 🥾

Or perhaps a little of everything...

Colombia is one of those destinations where a carefully planned itinerary can reveal several completely different sides of the same country.

📩 If Colombia has been on your radar, I'd love to help you discover which version is right for you.

🌍🚢 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞?

For many travellers, cruising is about the destinations you visit from the ship.

But some of the most exciting journeys are now going much further - combining a cruise with incredible experiences on land before or afterwards.

Imagine...

🇰🇭 Exploring 𝘼𝙣𝙜𝙠𝙤𝙧 𝙒𝙖𝙩 𝙗𝙮 𝙩𝙪𝙠-𝙩𝙪𝙠 before cruising the Mekong.

🦁 Heading out on 𝙨𝙖𝙛𝙖𝙧𝙞 𝙞𝙣 𝙎𝙤𝙪𝙩𝙝 𝘼𝙛𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙖, discovering the Cape Winelands and then boarding a luxury cruise.

🇨🇳 Standing before the 𝙏𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙤𝙩𝙩𝙖 𝙒𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙧𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙂𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩 𝙒𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙤𝙛 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙖 before sailing onwards to Japan.

🇮🇳 Watching the sunrise over the 𝙏𝙖𝙟 𝙈𝙖𝙝𝙖𝙡, exploring India's Golden Triangle and then continuing through the Far East by sea.

🏔️ Travelling through 𝘽𝙖𝙣𝙛𝙛, 𝙒𝙝𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙡𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙙𝙞𝙖𝙣 𝙍𝙤𝙘𝙠𝙞𝙚𝙨 before sailing into Alaska and Glacier Bay.

These aren't simply cruises.

They're journeys where the experience begins long before you step aboard.

And I think that's what makes this style of travel so exciting - you don't have to choose between touring and cruising. Done well, the two can complement each other beautifully.

𝙊𝙣𝙚 𝙟𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙮. 𝙈𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨.

Which combination would you choose? 👇

🇰🇭 Mekong & Angkor Wat
🦁 South Africa & Safari
🇨🇳 China & Japan
🇮🇳 India & the Far East
🏔️ Canadian Rockies & Alaska
