🌍✨ A fantastic day of training today with Not In The Guidebooks at the White Horse in Hertford.

As a personal travel advisor, I'm always looking for ways to offer my customers experiences that go beyond the ordinary, and today's session was full of inspiration.

Not In The Guidebooks specialises in holidays hosted by passionate local experts who help travellers experience destinations in a more authentic and meaningful way.

Their holidays fall into three exciting collections:

❄️ Arctic Adventures
From magical family trips to meet Santa in Lapland to Northern Lights adventures in Norway and Iceland, these holidays combine unique accommodation with unforgettable bucket-list experiences.

🌿 Immersive Exploring
Private itineraries designed from a local's perspective, helping you truly get under the skin of a destination. Think boutique accommodation full of character and unique experiences in destinations such as Costa Rica, Morocco, Vietnam, Sri Lanka and Colombia.

🎨 Special Interest Holidays
Perfect for those who want to learn something new or indulge an existing passion. From cooking holidays and wellness retreats to painting, jewellery-making and active breaks, these trips offer the chance to combine travel with a favourite hobby.

What particularly appeals to me is that these aren't rigid, off-the-shelf holidays. As with any holiday booked through me, we can tailor the trip to suit you. Whether you'd like to adjust the duration, add extra experiences, combine destinations, or travel on different dates, we can create an itinerary that works around you rather than expecting you to fit into a fixed package.

After all, no two travellers are the same, so why should their holidays be?

👀 Keep an eye on my page next week as I'll be sharing some Not In The Guidebooks offers and inspiration for anyone looking for something a little different from their next holiday.

Looking for a greener way to see the world this World Environment Day?

Rail holidays are a brilliant way to reduce your carbon footprint while still travelling in comfort and style: slower paced, scenic and surprisingly relaxing.

Here are 5 stunning rail journeys I can arrange for you:

🚆 1. Provence & the Côte d’Azur by rail
Explore Aix-en-Provence, Avignon and Nice in one trip: wander sun-drenched squares, sip local wines, discover hilltop villages and finish on the glittering Mediterranean coast.

🚆 2. Grand Central Europe: Berlin, Prague, Vienna & Budapest
Four iconic capitals in one seamless rail adventure: history, culture, riverside views and coffee-house charm, linked by easy rail journeys rather than airport queues.

🚆 3. Swiss & Austrian Alps: Zurich, Salzburg & Vienna
Combine lakes and mountains with music and imperial elegance: start in stylish Zurich, continue to picture-perfect Salzburg, and end in Vienna with its palaces and world-class cafés.

🚆 4. Norway in a Nutshell & Flåmsbana
Ride one of the world’s most beautiful train lines on the Flåmsbana, weaving between fjords, waterfalls and mountains, with the option to add scenic cruises and cosy fjord stays.

🚆 5. Luxury in the Highlands: Belmond Royal Scotsman
Step aboard an exquisite luxury train and journey deep into the Scottish Highlands, with fine dining, country house stops and ever-changing wild scenery from your window.

Why travel by train?

✔ Lower carbon impact than flying on equivalent routes
✔ Arrive right in the heart of each city
✔ More time to relax, read, chat and simply watch the world go by

If one of these has caught your eye, I can tailor it around you: from first-class rail and handpicked hotels to private transfers and special experiences along the way.

🇯🇵 When is the best time to travel to Japan?

The honest answer? There isn’t just one… Japan is incredible all year round, with each season offering something completely different ✨

🌸 Spring (April)
Cherry blossom season is the most iconic time to visit—stunning pink landscapes across the country. It’s also one of the busiest periods (especially around Golden Week), so early planning is essential.

🌿 Early Summer (June–July)
Lush green gardens come to life during the rainy season, followed by the chance to hike Mount Mount Fuji once the climbing season opens in July.

🎆 Summer (July–August)
A vibrant time filled with festivals and celebrations across the country—including traditional events like Obon (which can also bring busier travel periods).

🍁 Autumn (September–November)
One of the most underrated times to visit. Fewer crowds, better value, and incredible autumn colours—especially in cities like Tokyo where golden ginkgo trees and red maples transform the city. November is also a great time for clear skies and cultural events like sumo tournaments.

💡 A quick tip: avoid peak local holidays such as Golden Week, Obon, and New Year (Shogatsu) where possible, as these are the busiest times for domestic travel.

If you’re thinking about Japan, the “best time” really depends on what you want to experience—and I can help tailor it perfectly for you 🇯🇵
