This is why i do what i do......

We’ve recently returned from an amazing 16-night holiday to Canada, with many of you following our adventures through Not Just Teddy’s photos and updates. Whilst Teddy may have taken centre stage, the real star of the show was Alison!

From the very first spark of an idea to the moment we landed back in the UK, Alison was there every step of the way. What started as a simple thought — that a train journey across Canada would be fun — was transformed into an incredible adventure that we will never forget.

From carefully planning a 16-night itinerary, to choosing great locations, arranging brilliant excursions and sharing invaluable tips on how to make the most of every experience, Alison took care of everything. And when things didn’t quite go to plan, she was there for us too. When one flight was significantly delayed and another was cancelled, Alison immediately sprang into action, contacting hotels and tour operators, keeping everyone informed and arranging alternative flights and accommodation that best suited our needs. Having someone in your corner when you’re thousands of miles from home is priceless.

The highlights? There are far too many to mention! Just take a look at what Teddy got up to and you’ll get a pretty good idea. Although, we have to say, the Rocky Mountaineer was truly amazing and definitely deserves a special mention.

A lot of people have asked us why we didn’t simply book everything ourselves. The answer is simple: it’s the all-round service that Alison provides.

It’s about taking your ideas and turning them into reality; offering expert advice; finding the best deals; showing incredible patience while you consider your options; drawing on a network of specialists; providing the reassurance of ABTA protection; and, most importantly, being there when something unexpected happens and you need help, support and reassurance.

That’s the difference between simply booking a holiday and having someone who genuinely cares about making it a great one.
Thank you, Alison. You really are a star! ⭐

There's still time for one more escape...

Confession time. I might have two more planned before the end of 2026. No regrets.

November is the perfect month to sneak in a getaway. Think Christmas markets with mulled w**e in hand. Winter sun on a Canary Island beach. Or a cruise where the only plan is deciding between the pool and the spa.

And if you're already dreaming about 2027? Now is the time to plan. The early bookers get the best cabins, the best rooms and the best flight times. The offers landing over the next few weeks make it even better.

Stuck for a Christmas present? Imagine wrapping up a city break or a cruise for someone you love. It beats another pair of socks.

So tell me in the comments: are you squeezing in one more trip this year, or already planning 2027?

Drop me a message and I'll do the hard work for you. Your money is fully protected, and you'll have me on the end of the phone the whole way.

Happy Halloween! 🧙‍♀️🎃

No tricks here. Only treats.

The early Black Friday offers have landed, and I've been busy working my magic. This week I've booked sunny escapes to Alicante and Gran Canaria for customers who snapped up the deals early.

Winter sun in the Canaries. Spanish sunshine on the Costa Blanca. Even cruise offers bubbling away in my cauldron. All without spending hours searching through 38 websites.

That's the spell I cast: one chat with me, and everything's sorted. Your holiday is fully protected, and you've got me on hand from booking to boarding.

Early offers like these don't hang around for long, so don't let them vanish into thin air.

Fancy a treat for 2026 or 2027? Drop a 🎃 below or send me a message, and I'll brew up some ideas for you.

I make booking a holiday feel like a holiday.

Wishing you all a spooktacular Halloween 🖤

Duuude! 🐢

If you've seen Finding Nemo, you know exactly who I'm thinking of. Crush, the laid-back sea turtle....Well, my customer's found his cousins. They live in a cave in Zanzibar.

This is Salaam Cave, and they visited here on their recent trip and got to swim with and feed the turtles 🐢.

Picture it. You step down into a cool, rocky cave. Sunlight spills onto clear water. Then a turtle drifts past, slow and calm, close enough to see every pattern on its shell. The guides give you seagrass, fresh sea lettuce and seaweed, which is food made for the turtles, so they stay safe and healthy. 💚 They also show you how to feed them gently.

You get around 30 to 40 minutes in the water. It sounds short, but they said it felt like time stood still.

It was one of the highlights of their whole trip. That's high praise, as they'd just rafted Victoria Falls and been on safari in Botswana. 😄

Here's the thing: experiences like this need booking ahead. Turning up and hoping isn't the plan.

That's where I come in. I'll build your trip around the moments you want and either pre-book or carry out research into reliable and recommended local tours before you fly, allowing you the freedom to pick those most suited to you:

🌍 Safari and beach combined
🐢 Hidden gems like Salaam Cave, pre-booked and sorted before travel
🏝️ Hotels that suit you, from honeymoon hideaways to family bases

Your money is fully protected, and you've got me there from the first chat until you're home.

💬 Be honest in the comments: would you get in and feed the turtles? 🐢 Or watch from the side? 👀

Bonus points if you reply in your best Crush voice. 😉

Your dream holiday awaits. ✈️

🖤 Black Friday has landed early! 🖤

Jet2holidays and easyJet holidays have both dropped their early Black Friday deals, with up to £400 off holidays. 🙌

But here's the thing...

A cheap holiday in the wrong spot isn't a bargain. It's a week of regret. 😬

Booking direct gets you a price. Booking with me gets you a holiday that suits you.

Before I recommend anything, I look at:

📍 Location. Is it lively or peaceful? Right for you?
⭐ Reviews. Real ones, from real guests. I read the good, the bad and the "hmm".
🏖️ The beach. A 2-minute stroll or a 20-minute uphill trek? I'll tell you.
🍽️ What's around you. Restaurants, bars, shops and things to do.
👨‍👩‍👧 Who it's for. Families, couples or a quiet escape, it needs to fit.

You still get the deal. You just get it with someone in your corner too. 💛

Your holiday is fully protected. And if you have a question, you message me, not a call centre queue.

I make booking a holiday feel like a holiday. ✈️

👇 Tell me in the comments: beach, pool or city? I'll send you a few ideas that match. Or drop me a message and let's find your perfect spot before these deals go.

Me...two weeks ago today ☀️

I was at La Blanche Resort in Bodrum, soaking up the Turkish sunshine... after the rain stopped that is 😂.

Warm sea breeze (ish). Crystal-clear water. And the kind of service that makes you feel looked after from the moment you arrive.... some amazing staff... plus I came home with plenty of notes for my clients (and a little bit of a tan 😉).

But I'm not unpacking for long... In just 32 days, I'm off again ✈️...

And this trip is a little bit special. Here are your clues:

🥂 Think glamour, not flip-flops
🛥️ Yachts in the harbour and sea views from every corner
🌟 Some of the most exclusive names in travel, all in one place

So... where do you think I'm going? 🤔

Pop your guess in the comments 👇 I'll reveal all soon. And if you've got a dream holiday in mind, tell me that too. I might just find something special for you while I'm there.
