We spent last night at .agafay.resort in the Agafay Desert and headed out on a sunset camel trek! 🐪🌅

Unfortunately, the clouds rolled in, so we didn’t actually see the sunset… but getting camel-ready was all part of the experience! I love how quickly he tied this headscarf — I’d still be trying to work out where to start! 😂

As you may have spotted in my stories, I’m in Morocco after being selected to join the Intrepid Summit 2026! 🇲🇦

Having climbed Mount Toubkal with Intrepid last year, it’s lovely to be back discovering a different side of the country.

What do I love about travelling with them? Exploring with knowledgeable local leaders, sharing the adventure with like-minded travellers, and enjoying included experiences you might never think to book yourself—all while supporting local communities.

There are options for solo travellers, couples, friends and families, including single parents, plus women-only expeditions. Prefer to travel with your own family or friends? They offer private trips too!

They’ve also launched Premium Family trips this year, combining adventure with extra comfort and special places to stay. ✨

From Nepal and Japan to Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Thailand, India, Peru, Costa Rica, Kenya, the Galápagos and even the polar regions—where would you choose? 🌍

My job is to help you find the right trip, bring all your travel plans together and support you before, during and after your holiday. Intrepid’s local team then brings the destination to life while you’re there. And being here myself means I can give you first-hand advice and get to know the people looking after you on the ground. 🌍

Any questions? Ask away while I’m here with the team, or drop me a message to chat about your next adventure! 💬

🐊 Did you know you don’t have to travel all the way down to the Everglades to experience an airboat ride?

While staying in our villa in Kissimmee, we headed out with for a 90-minute airboat tour through the Central Florida wetlands — and this was such a fab experience!

We spotted plenty of alligators along the way, including some tiny baby gators 🐊, as well as cattle and lots of different birdlife.

One of the reasons I chose Spirit of the Swamp was that they use smaller airboats, carrying a maximum of six passengers, and we opted for a private tour. You also wear headsets so you can actually hear and chat to your captain as you go — which made the whole experience much more personal.

And the airboat itself was so much fun! At times it genuinely looked as though we were zooming straight across the grass 😂 — but there was actually a very shallow layer of water underneath us. Because airboats are flat-bottomed and powered by that huge propeller at the back, they can glide across incredibly shallow water and marshland where a normal boat simply couldn’t go.

One minute we were quietly searching the water for alligators… the next we were flying across the wetlands! 💨🐊

We chose the 90-minute tour and I’m really glad we did. It was such a different experience from the theme parks and another reminder that there is SO much more to do around Orlando than Disney and Universal.

Definitely one to add to your Florida itinerary! 🇺🇸🌴

✨ One of those experiences that is SO hard to capture on camera…

And I am by no means a photographer, so this reel really doesn’t do it justice! 😂

After our day at Kennedy Space Center, we headed to the water for a sunset bioluminescent kayak tour 🛶✨

We didn’t exactly time it perfectly… we went during a full moon - when ideally you want to go closer to a new moon, when the skies are much darker and the bioluminescence is easier to see.

But just as the sun went down, the clouds came over and covered the moon 🙌 — giving us a glimpse of the water glowing around our paddles.

The bioluminescence is created by tiny organisms in the water that produce light when disturbed, so as you paddle through, you can see little flashes of blue-green light in the water. ✨

We even managed to hold some comb jellies — incredible creatures from one of the oldest animal lineages on Earth, despite having no brain or heart - don’t worry they don’t sting!

We got back just as it was becoming properly dark, so if seeing the bioluminescence at its brightest was my main priority, I’d probably choose the later 9pm tour and try to time it closer to a new moon.

BUT I’m actually really glad we chose the sunset tour because we got to see so much wildlife along the way — manatees, flying fish, eagles and loads of different birds. 🦅🐟

So we got the best of both worlds — wildlife at sunset followed by our first glimpse of the water starting to glow. 💙✨

Another very different Florida experience ticked off… and another reminder that there is SO much more to Orlando than theme parks! 🌴

🚀 One of our final days in Orlando took us somewhere outside the parks … Kennedy Space Center!

Located around an hour from Kissimmee, it was super easy to get to and made a brilliant change from the theme parks.

And the site is HUGE covering around 225 square miles - We headed straight for the bus tour when we arrived, which takes you further into the working areas of Kennedy Space Center and over to the Apollo/Saturn V Center. 🚀

💡 The standard bus tour is included with your admission, but there’s also the option to upgrade to a more in-depth guided tour, taking you closer to some of the restricted areas and giving you even more insight into the working space centre. Definitely worth considering if you’re a real space enthusiast! 🚀

Seeing the enormous Saturn V rocket up close was incredible, as was Space Shuttle Atlantis, but what surprised me most was learning just how much is happening in space exploration right now. This isn’t simply a museum looking back at the past — Kennedy Space Center is still very much part of the future of space travel.

We listened to some really interesting talks, explored the exhibits and learnt so much about both the history and future of space exploration.

And I loved this little fact… the local Space Coast telephone area code is 321 — deliberately chosen as a nod to 3…2…1… liftoff! 🚀

💡 MY TOP TIP if you’re heading to Orlando: download the Space Coast Launches app before you travel and check what launches are scheduled during your stay. If you’re lucky, you could actually get to watch a rocket launch while you’re in Florida! 🚀

And if you’re booking your Orlando holiday with me, I can add Kennedy Space Center tickets to your trip too, so it can all be taken care of as part of your holiday.

Definitely one to add to your Orlando itinerary if you fancy a day away from the theme parks!

📍 Kennedy Space Center
🚗 Around 1 hour from Kissimmee

Are you all sick of my Orlando posts yet?! 😂🎢

My last theme park post, I promise! This time we headed to Islands of Adventure 🌎✨

First stop — Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure ⚡️🏍️

Hagrid’s isn’t included with the Universal Express Pass so we made the most of Early Park Admission and headed straight for the queue.

And WHAT A RIDE!! 😍

I think this might actually have been my favourite ride of the whole trip. Going straight there during Early Park Admission worked brilliantly for us and I would 100% do the same again.

From there, no surprises — we spent a LOT of time in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter ⚡️🏰 Two wands between us and plenty of spells to cast!

Then it was onto VelociCoaster 🎢 before making the slightly questionable decision to do the rapids AND log flume… 💦😂

I have NEVER been as wet on a ride as I was on those rapids. Not damp. Not splashed. Completely and utterly soaked.

💡 Top tip: take your shoes off before you get on! Even though you’re told to keep them on, I knew something was amiss when people were getting off carrying their shoes. 😂

And definitely don’t miss the nighttime entertainment ✨ — the Harry Potter castle show and the nighttime spectacular are both well worth staying for.

And that’s without even talking about everything else there is here — Jurassic Park, Marvel Super Hero Island, Seuss Landing, Skull Island and so much more.

Another Orlando park I’d absolutely recommend making time for. 🎢⚡️🦖

And with that… my theme park spam is officially over. 😂

Our final stop… and after all those theme parks, THIS was exactly what we needed! 🏡☀️

I ummed and ahhed about where to go after the parks, but in the end I just wanted us to slow down and stay put. So we checked into this incredible villa at Reunion Resort in Kissimmee.

It meant we could still visit the water parks and explore some of Orlando beyond the theme parks, but actually have some downtime too.

And what a villa! 😍

🏡 6 bedrooms & 6 bathrooms — sleeping up to 17
🏊 Private pool & spa
🎮 PlayStation, Xbox & Nintendo Switch
🎱 Pool table & games room
🏓 Table tennis
🏀 Basketball
⛳ Putting green
🚀 Themed bunk rooms

Safe to say, the boys were in heaven! 😂 And with six bedrooms, we had SO much space to spread out and weren’t on top of each other.

Our villa also included access to Reunion Resort’s 5-acre water park & lazy river, multiple pools and fitness facilities, with golf, tennis, pickleball and mini golf also available.

And a great bonus? Complimentary shuttles around the resort AND to Walt Disney World. 🏰

For larger or multigenerational families — or two families travelling together — this is such a great way to do Orlando.

After a week of theme parks, this was exactly the change of pace we needed. ❤️
