✨ COME ABOARD DISNEY DREAM WITH ME! 🏰🚢

I recently got the chance to explore Disney Dream — and there is SO much more to this ship than Mickey Mouse! ✨

A few things you’ll find onboard…

🍽️ Rotational dining – dine in three different main restaurants while your serving team moves with you each evening.

🎭 West End-style entertainment including Beauty and the Beast and Disney’s Believe.

💦 AquaDuck – Disney Dream’s water coaster taking you around the upper decks!

🏰 Amazing kids’ clubs with separate spaces for little ones, tweens and teens.

🥂 Adults-only spaces including Quiet Cove Pool, bars and lounges, spa facilities and adults-only dining at Palo and Remy.

🛏️ Clever family-friendly cabins, with many featuring Disney’s split-bathroom design and plenty of storage.

🎬 Plus character experiences, deck parties, Disney movies, pools and lots of those little Disney details throughout the ship.

What surprised me most? It still feels like a beautiful cruise ship. There’s plenty of Disney magic, but also elegant restaurants, grown-up spaces and places to escape when you want some peace.

Having actually walked around the ship means I can now much better understand who Disney Dream would suit — and who it perhaps wouldn’t! That’s one of my favourite parts of ship visits. 🥰

🎥 Have a nose around with me!

I’M SO EXCITED!! 🫖🗺️✈️🍰

An idea that’s been living in my head for a while is officially becoming a real thing…

‘Louise’s Tea & Travel Club’ is up and running! 🥹

🍰Saturday 3rd October @ Barony Castle
🍰Wednesday 7th October @ Pentland Plants

Think lovely afternoon teas, brilliant venues, travel stories, destination inspiration, meeting new people and generally spending an afternoon talking about one of my favourite things in the world — travel 🌍

And the bit I’m MOST excited about? Every Tea & Travel event can be a little different depending on where we are and who I’m collaborating with.

The first events are now being planned with some fabulous venues and I genuinely cannot wait to see where this goes 🫖✈️

And I’d love to take the Tea & Travel Club to more places!

If you have a venue, business, community or group and fancy hosting your own Tea & Travel event, please get in touch 💌 We can create something that works for your audience — and you know I LOVE a good collaboration!

Tea. Travel. A little escapism.

More coming soon 👀✈️🫖💖

🥾 TREK TUESDAY | THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA 🇨🇳

One of the biggest adventures I’ve ever taken on — a full week trekking the Great Wall of China in aid of the Mental Health Foundation ❤️

And when I say trekking the Great Wall, I don’t mean arriving at one of the tourist sections, having a wander and taking a few photos…

Every day we had to climb a mountain just to reach the Wall — and then the day’s trekking started 😅

We trekked beautifully restored sections, crumbling and completely overgrown sections, tackled some fairly ridiculous gradients and climbed what felt like an endless number of steps.

Looking back, wearing a “NO PAIN NO GAIN” T-shirt was either excellent planning or a terrible mistake 😂

It was challenging, exhausting and absolutely incredible.

Some of my favourite travel memories haven’t come from simply visiting somewhere — they’ve come from getting out there and properly experiencing it.

And this one had the added privilege of raising money for a cause that means so much ❤️

Whether you fancy a trekking adventure of your own, something completely different, or simply want help turning that bucket-list idea into an actual trip — that’s where I come in!

Mauritius Monday 🇲🇺🌴

Mauritius is one of those places I left thinking… when can I go back!? ❤️

Yes, the beaches really are that beautiful — but it’s so much more than a fly-and-flop destination.

🌴 Beautiful beaches
⛰️ Mountains and incredible scenery
🍹 Fabulous food & rum
🌺 Different cultures and little villages to explore
❤️ Some truly gorgeous hotels
⛳️ Cracking golf back drops

I’ve been lucky enough to experience Mauritius myself, and it’s definitely somewhere I recommend getting out of the resort and exploring.

And there’s an extra reason to have Mauritius on your radar today…

🌴 Beachcomber Tours currently have up to 30% off Mauritius holidays! 🌴

Beachcomber have some absolutely beautiful resorts across the island, and choosing the right resort and area for you can make such a difference to your holiday - having stayed in 3 of their fabulous hotels I can recommend which one (or two!) is perfect for you!

So if Mauritius has been sitting on your wish list, this might be a very good time to start planning✈️🇲🇺

🏎️🇮🇹 THE ITALIAN GRAND PRIX AT MONZA ❤️

If you’re an F1 fan, put this one on the list.

I went to Monza for the Italian Grand Prix and genuinely, the atmosphere is something else. The sea of red, the Ferrari fans, the noise, the Italian flypast… and getting to walk on the actual track afterwards! 🏁

Obviously I went fully committed to the occasion in Ferrari red 🤣❤️

And the best bit? You don’t have to choose between a city break and an F1 weekend. Stay in Milan, add in fabulous Italian food, wine and sightseeing, then throw one of the most iconic races in the world into the middle of it 🇮🇹🍝🥂

Fancy doing Monza? I can book the whole trip for you — race tickets, flights, hotel and all the extras, tailored around how you want to experience it!

Who’s got Monza on their F1 bucket list? 🏎️🏁

Fizz Friday! 🥂✨

September means one very exciting thing in Champagne… harvest! 🍇

It can be an incredible time to visit, with the vineyards and villages buzzing with activity — but remember, Champagne is a working wine region, so a little forward planning goes a long way during harvest🥂🇫🇷

This memory popped up today… and the timing couldn’t be better ❤️

When I was just 17 years old, I was incredibly lucky to be awarded a Churchill Travelling Fellowship The Churchill Fellowship ✈️

That opportunity gave me the chance to travel, learn and experience something completely outside my normal world, and then led to the rather surreal experience of receiving my Fellowship medallion from Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace 👑

Looking back, I don’t think 17-year-old me could possibly have known how much travel would shape the rest of my life!

I went on to live and work overseas, spend years in the wine & spirits industry, travel to some incredible places and eventually build my own business as a Personal Travel Designer ✈️

Two years ago, I had the opportunity to return to the Churchill Fellowship Awards with Pol Roger (Official) who have supported the awards since the very beginning (and who I had 7 wonderful years as part of the wine family!) This time I returned to watch a new generation of Fellows being celebrated. It was incredibly special to be back and to remember where one of my own earliest adventures began.

And now, another two years later, this memory has popped up just as applications for the next round of Churchill Fellowships are open.

So if you have an idea, a passion, or something you believe you could learn from people elsewhere in the world and bring back to benefit others here — have a look and consider applying.

I did. And I’m very glad I did ❤️

If you walk the footsteps of a stranger, you’ll learn things you never knew you never knew 🍂
