ATOL protected. Personal service from enquiry to return home. https://forms.gle/5bxAh8xqHaScaL746 I live in Gravesend, Kent with my husband, and our two daughters. I started in the travel industry 24 years ago, by accident, and worked my way up to Cruise Specialist, Disney Specialist and then Branch Manager. During this time I took a year out to fulfil my dream of working in Walt Disney World, Flo

rida. I worked in the British pub in EPCOT serving beer and fish & chips. After having our children, I decided to take some time out to be a stay at home mum, but once they both started school I was eager to jump back into travel. I have been lucky enough over the years to travel to some amazing destinations including Australia, the Caribbean, Greece, Italy and Malaysia, but my all time favourite holidays are Disney ones. It's on my bucket list to visit all 6 Disney Resorts, 3 down - 3 to go! I joined Travel Counsellors over other independent travel companies, as I love their ethos that personal service is key, and the most important thing when booking your holiday. I will strive to go above and beyond for everyone who books a trip with me.

☀️💙 Ikos Aria: luxury family holidays done properly 💙☀️

There are all-inclusive resorts... and then there are Ikos resorts.

Set on an 850-metre Blue Flag beach in Kos, Ikos Aria combines exceptional dining, stylish accommodation and outstanding service with the kind of family facilities that make travelling with children genuinely relaxing.

What I love about Ikos is that it's not just about what's included inside the resort. Their Infinite Lifestyle concept encourages you to experience the destination too, with local dining experiences and cultural touches that help you discover more of Kos 🇬🇷

✨ Why families love Ikos Aria:

🏖️ Beautiful beachfront location

🍴 Restaurants inspired by Michelin-starred chefs

🏊 Heated pools and family-friendly facilities

🚴 Complimentary activities including water sports and cycling

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Dedicated children's clubs and activities

✨ Spacious suites perfect for families

🍹 Premium all-inclusive concept

Whether you're building sandcastles on the beach, enjoying a long lunch overlooking the sea or watching the children disappear off to kids' club, this is the sort of holiday where everyone gets to relax.

And during October half term, the warm Greek sunshine is a welcome bonus ☀️

Would Ikos be your style of family holiday?

✈️ Before you travel...

Most people know I can help plan and book your holiday, but did you know I can also help with many of the extras that make travelling that little bit easier?

✔️ Airport lounges
✔️ Airport hotels
✔️ Airport parking
✔️ Fast Track Security
✔️ Port hotels
✔️ Port parking

Whether you're heading off on a family holiday, cruise, city break or long-haul adventure, it's often these little extras that can make the start of your trip so much smoother.

Personally, I'm a big fan of airport hotels before an early flight and Fast Track when the queues are looking a little scary! 😅

If you'd like me to arrange any of these extras for you, just send me a message.

Or, if you'd prefer to book them yourself, you'll find my Holiday Extras link in the comments.

Because your holiday starts long before you board the plane. ✈️

🏝️✨ Barefoot luxury in the Maldives ✨🏝️

If your idea of the perfect holiday involves turquoise lagoons, soft white sand and your own private pool just steps from the beach, this could be exactly what you're looking for 💙

Set within the beautiful South Nilandhe Atoll, Sun Siyam Iru Veli offers a relaxed, all-inclusive Maldivian escape where everything is designed to help you slow down and switch off.

Think snorkelling in crystal-clear waters, watching the sunset with a cocktail in hand and waking up each morning to the sound of the ocean 🌊

🚢 Yesterday, one of my lovely repeat clients messaged me out of the blue and said:

"We may want to book a cheeky last minute cruise... 👀 xx" 😂

She sent me the dates she was considering, I checked availability, and thanks to a current offer there was a substantial saving available on her chosen sailing.

A few messages later and she was booked. ✨

If you've been thinking about Disney Cruise Line but haven't checked prices recently, it may be worth taking another look.

Selected Southampton sailings currently have some very attractive savings available, making Disney Cruise Line more accessible than many people realise.

As always, availability and pricing can change at any time, but if you'd like me to check your dates, just drop me a message and I'll happily take a look.

🎉 Happy 92nd Birthday, Donald Duck! 🎉

Looking through these photos made me realise I've been meeting Donald for a very long time... 💙

These photos were taken at Walt Disney World, Disneyland Paris and on Disney Cruise Line, but one thing hasn't changed... Donald still knows how to steal the spotlight! 😆

I wish I still had the photos from the very first time I met Donald back in 1989. Sadly they've disappeared somewhere over the years, but I'd never have imagined then that I'd still be meeting him nearly four decades later.

From my days working in EPCOT, to family holidays with the girls, to more recent adventures as a travel agent, Donald has been a constant throughout so many special memories.

Whether he's dressed as a sailor, a captain, or stomping around in one of his famous grumpy moods, he's always been one of my favourites.

And somehow, after all these years, Donald doesn't seem to have aged a day... unlike some of us! 😂

📸 I'd love to know...

When and where have you met Donald Duck?

🌊 World Oceans Day 🌊

This photo was taken on St Petes Beach back in 2008, and it seemed the perfect reminder of why protecting our oceans matters.

As someone who spends their days helping people explore the world, I'm very aware that we all have a responsibility to help protect it too.

Sustainable travel doesn't have to mean giving up the holidays we love. Often it's the small choices that make a difference:

🌳 Giving back to destinations and communities
♻️ Reducing waste where we can
🚶 Exploring on foot instead of always relying on transport
❤️ Respecting the places we're lucky enough to visit

None of us are perfect (I'm certainly not!), but if we can leave a place a little better than we found it, that's a good place to start.

One of the ways I try to do my bit is by planting trees for my repeat clients, helping to give something back while creating memories around the world.

Travel has given me some incredible experiences, from watching sunsets over the Caribbean Sea to seeing wildlife in their natural habitats. I'd love future generations to be able to enjoy those same moments too.

What's one sustainable travel habit you've adopted over the years? 🌍💙

What a week! ✈️❤️

The first week of June has been one of my busiest in quite a while, and I'm incredibly grateful for every single enquiry, recommendation and booking.

After a few months where travel headlines have understandably made some people cautious, it feels like confidence is returning. Families travelled over the May Bank Holidays and May half term, airports were busy, holidays went ahead as planned, and people seem to be feeling more comfortable making those future travel plans again.

This week alone I've helped clients book:

🎃 A bargain Halloween on the High Seas Disney Cruise
🇮🇹 A Lake Garda holiday that's been over a year in the planning
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 A multi-generational family getaway to Lyttos Mare in Crete
🏰 A Walt Disney World trip for a family returning 30 years after their last visit
🇵🇹 An Easter sunshine break to Portugal

And that's exactly what I love about this job. No two bookings are ever the same.

Whether you've booked with me, recommended me to family and friends, liked a post, shared something I've written or simply followed along on my journey, thank you.

As a self-employed travel business owner, your support means more than you probably realise, and I never take for granted the trust you place in me when planning your holidays and creating your memories.

Thank you for keeping me busy doing a job I genuinely love. ❤️

Now... let's see what week two of June brings! ✈️
