Another fabulous review, and I’m smiling as I write this.

It’s been an absolute pleasure to help plan your trips for your anniversary celebrations. Thank you for trusting me with something that matters. I never take that lightly.

If you’ve travelled with me and I’ve helped create a special trip for you too, I’m always grateful for reviews. They make such a difference to a small, home-based business like mine.

You’re not spending money, you’re making memories.

Just booked: Maldives at Easter 2027.
10 nights at Cocoon Maldives, All Inclusive.

This is the sort of trip that makes you breathe out the second you arrive. Warm sea. White sand that squeaks under your feet. And that easy rhythm of island life where the biggest decision is snorkel now… or after lunch.

I love All Inclusive in the Maldives because it keeps it simple. You don’t spend the week doing mental maths every time you fancy a cocktail or an extra coffee. You relax. Properly.

Easter slots don’t hang around, especially when flights and the best room types start to go. Planning ahead is the win here.

If the Maldives is on your “one day” list, what’s your non‑negotiable: overwater villa or steps-from-the-sand beach villa?

SCROLL DOWN FOR UNBELIEVABLE PRICES

6 Beachcomber resorts have been recognised by Travelers' Choice Awards 2026 - it's not just my opinion that they are the best 🥰, and here’s the bit that surprises people. It can be more affordable than you think, especially when you look at what’s included.

If you want Mauritius done properly, Beachcomber are one of those brands that deliver. Beautiful beaches, standout service, and resorts that feel polished, not pretentious.

Good news: 2028 dates are ready to book now, which means you can plan ahead and spread the cost with interest-free monthly payments (subject to availability and supplier terms).

Just booked: a solo traveller tour of India for November 2027.

This one’s got that “I can’t believe I’m actually doing this” feel. In the best way.

It’s a proper deep-dive into Kerala + Tamil Nadu, with all the colour, calm, and chaos-in-a-good-way that India does so well.

Tour highlights include:

Cochin tour
Traditional Sadya dinner
Kathakali dance show
Tea plantation + tea factory tour
Tata Tea Museum
Old City sightseeing in Madurai
Thirumalai Nayakkar Mahal
Cycle rickshaw ride in Madurai
Spice plantation walk
Kalaripayattu (traditional martial arts) performance
Periyar Game Reserve boat viewing
Overnight on a thatched-roof Kettuvallam houseboat
Local Kumbalangi village experience

If you’ve ever thought, “I’d love to do India, but I don’t want to do it alone,” this style of trip is a brilliant fit. You get the freedom of travelling solo, with the comfort of a planned route and people around you.

Last night at I attended the TIPTO Conference at Kingsholm Stadium, Gloucester. It was fantastic to spend time with so many suppliers, learning more about their products and strengthening relationships. It’s a reminder that you simply don’t get this level of insight and personal connection from a search engine.

A few travel trends that really stood out:
🚆 Rail tours and journeys are booming. More travellers are choosing scenic rail adventures over airports, enjoying the journey as much as the destination. Luxury coach holidays are also seeing huge growth.

🌍 Small group touring continues to be incredibly popular. Travellers want to immerse themselves in local culture, often with expert guides who can share hidden gems and personalised recommendations to make every trip unique.

🚢 Ocean cruising remains stronger than ever. The adults-only concept from Virgin Voyages is proving hugely popular, with Alaska itineraries now available aboard Brilliant Lady, their newest ship.

⛵ River cruising is attracting those looking for a more intimate experience with stunning scenery along the way. And it’s not just about Europe! Think Cambodia and Vietnam, South Africa where wildlife comes to the water’s edge, or a timeless journey along Egypt’s Nile.

Exciting times for travel, with more choice than ever for those looking to explore the world in different ways.

💬 If any of these holiday styles have caught your eye, or you’re wondering what’s right for your next trip, get in touch. I’d be delighted to arrange a call and help you find the perfect holiday.

Stories like these remind me why I love what I do. 🌏

Knowing that a carefully planned journey through Vietnam and Cambodia has created such meaningful memories and lasting inspiration is the greatest reward.

Thank you for your kind words and for letting me be part of your adventure. I can't wait to help create many more unforgettable journeys.

I’ve just completed my Disney Cruise Line training ✨🚢
Always learning, so you get the best advice with none of the overwhelm.

Did you know around 50% of people cruising are kid-free?
Disney Wish isn’t “only for families”. It’s brilliant for couples, friends, and grown-up Disney fans too.

The exciting bit? Disney Wish is setting sail from Southampton in 2027. These sailings are really popular - who doesn't want that pinch me moment?

Why Disney Wish is such a big deal:

AquaMouse ride at sea. Proper “how is this real?” moments.
Broadway-style shows and standout entertainment.
Rotational dining. New restaurant each night, same serving team.
Gorgeous venues like 1923, plus character dining if you want it.
Adults-only areas so you can switch off.
Lovely cabins, often with split bathrooms. Such a bonus.

If it’s on your “one day” list, let’s plan it properly.
