Nine years ago today on what felt like the hottest day in history we said โ€˜I doโ€™ in the beautiful Cypriot sunshine! ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’’๐Ÿฅต

We didnโ€™t want anything fancy, just a relaxed, chilled out lovely day with all (or most) of our closest family & friends helping us celebrate and we nailed it!!!! To this day everyone still talks about what a great day it was!๐ŸŽ‰

Thinking about a European escape this June? โ˜€๏ธโœˆ๏ธ

June is one of my favourite times to visit Europe. The weather is beautiful, the summer atmosphere is in full swing, and you can often enjoy the best of each destination before the peak season crowds arrive.

Whether itโ€™s soaking up the sunshine and island life in Greece ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ท, exploring the stunning coastline of the Amalfi Coast ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น, or enjoying the vibrant cafรฉ culture and long summer days in Copenhagen ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฐ, thereโ€™s something special about Europe at this time of year.

If a summer getaway is on your wish list, now is the perfect time to start planning. ๐ŸŒโœจ

Which of these destinations would be at the top of your list?

Turns out a LOT of you guessed correctly ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

Iโ€™m heading to CANADA ๐Ÿโœจ

And not just anywhereโ€ฆ Iโ€™ll be travelling through the Rockies with Rocky Mountaineer ๐Ÿšž

Honestly, this has been on my bucket list for YEARS and when I found out that there was a place up for grabs on this trip I was desperate to win it, so when I found out last week that Iโ€™d won a place I was beyond excited!!

We donโ€™t know the full itinerary just yet, but Iโ€™ll be sharing more details as soon as I do

I already know this is going to be one of those unforgettable experiences and I canโ€™t wait โœจ

So tell meโ€ฆ is Canada on your bucket list too? ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

Donโ€™t forget our ICELAND small group trip has now launched!

This is a small group of 8 clients plus myself, Jess and our supplier in Iceland to deliver you the most incredible, well planned, stress free, gorgeous trip to Iceland ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ธ

Thereโ€™s loads of inclusions - we are hoping to see the Northern Lights on a nighttime cruise, we are exploring the Golden Circle on a Super Jeep, snowmobiling on glaciers and heading to Sky Lagoon to experience relaxing in a geothermal pool.

This is a 3 night trip but if you want to stay longer, we are more than happy to build this into a longer tailormade itinerary to really get the most out of the country!

If you have any questions, drop me or Jess a message! ๐Ÿซถ

First-time solo cruise on Virgin Voyagesโ€™ Scarlet Lady ๐Ÿ’ซ

One of my lovely clients has just returned from her very first solo cruise and she absolutely LOVED it. She sailed on Virgin Voyagesโ€™ Scarlet Lady, calling at Barcelona, Rome, Salerno, Catania, Mykonos and Athens, and told me it was โ€œthe best thingโ€ sheโ€™s done for herself.

What she especially appreciated was how relaxed and welcoming it felt to travel solo. Because Virgin Voyages is completely adults only, the atmosphere on board felt really laid-back and sociable, with lots of restaurants, bars and events that made it easy to meet like-minded people and make new friends without ever feeling pressured. She could join in when she wanted company, or enjoy some quiet time with a coffee (or cocktail) and a view when she felt like doing her own thing.

Her photos are full of sunshine-filled streets, ancient history, waterfront sunsets and that unmistakable glow that comes from doing something just for you.

If you have ever wondered whether a solo cruise might suit you, this is a lovely example of how supportive and sociable it can feel.

1๏ธโƒฃ I wouldnโ€™t panic
Thereโ€™s a lot of noise around the Middle East and fuel prices right now, but booking a package holiday gives you much more protection than people realise.

2๏ธโƒฃ I wouldnโ€™t leave it too late โ€œto see what happensโ€
Iโ€™m already seeing prices and availability changing daily. The longer people wait, the less choice thereโ€™ll be, especially for family favourites and peak dates.

3๏ธโƒฃ Iโ€™d book with someone who can keep an eye on it all for me
Having someone there to guide you, explain your options and help if anything changes makes a huge difference.

If Summer 2026 is still on your list, nowโ€™s the time to start looking and to get booking.

Iโ€™m here to help you for each step!
