✨ First Booking of 2026 Complete! ✨

I’m excited to share that I’ve just confirmed my first booking of 2026 - a family of 3 heading to beautiful Mauritius for 15 unforgettable days 🇲🇺🌴

We spent time together narrowing down their ideal destination, weighing up Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Mauritius. While all were incredible options, Mauritius came out on top for what they really wanted:
✔️ The freedom to travel around the island without long journeys
✔️ An abundance of child-friendly activities
✔️ And, most importantly… sun, sea, and sand right in the depths of a UK winter ☀️🏖️

Their trip will be split across Belle Mare, Grand Baie, and Bel Ombre, giving them the perfect mix of beaches, culture, adventure, and relaxation without constantly packing up and moving far.

This is exactly why I love what I do: matching the right destination to the right family ✨

If you’re dreaming of winter sun in 2026 but not sure where to start, let’s chat.

I’ve been a little quiet on here recently because November was full-on in the best possible way. ✨

I managed to sneak in a little trip to Marrakech, soaking up the culture, wandering through colourful souks, indulging in incredible food and enjoying some much-needed sunshine by the pool… all while carrying a little bit of extra weight around with me 🤰🏻👶☺️.

At the same time, my lovely clients have been travelling far and wide to Namibia, Belize, Guatemala and Costa Rica. Seeing their adventures unfold, from safaris to volcanoes, has been incredible to see… scroll to see a few of their pics!

Behind the scenes, I’ve also been busy planning winter sunshine escapes to Sri Lanka and Egypt, a family adventure to Colombia next summer, and another dreamy Italian getaway.

I’ll be slowing down a bit from February so if you need help planning a 2026 escape - get in touch now 🤗

✨ Back at WTM for my favourite kind of travel chaos!

At the World Travel Market, it’s incredible to see nearly every country represented, each showcasing the beauty and uniqueness of what they have to offer.

I love wandering through the stands and admiring traditional dress, hearing the music, tasting local flavours, and chatting with people from all over the world. Although it would be far more exciting to experience all this in its true home rather than the Excel centre! 🌍🫶

I also had the chance to meet fantastic suppliers who help me craft brilliant, bespoke itineraries for my clients. Let’s be honest - no one can be an expert in every destination! That’s why I’m building a strong global network, so I can deliver the very best travel experiences while collaborating closely with passionate local partners. 💫✈️

✨ I absolutely loved planning this incredible journey for my wonderful clients, P & J!

What started as a family wedding in Bogotá turned into the perfect opportunity to explore the wonders of Peru — from ticking off Machu Picchu on their bucket list, to discovering the beauty of Lake Titicaca, the world’s highest navigable lake, and immersing themselves in the rich history of the Sacred Valley, once the heart of the Inca Empire.

A huge thank you to my amazing local partners, , for taking such great care of my clients every step of the way — from the moment they touched down in Lima to their journey home. 🌎💛

Diwali (aka the Festival of Lights) celebrates light triumphing over darkness which feels extra relevant in the world today ✨🕯️

2 - The iconic Taj Mahal
3 - Celebrating Holi Festival in Udaipur
4-6 - Palaces, monkeys & magic in Rajasthan
7-8 - Golden sunsets and beaches in Goa
9 - Floating through the Keralan Backwaters
10 - Feeling zen in Rishikesh
11-12 - Markets bursting colour everywhere
13 - Momos and mountains in McLeod Ganj

Forever obsessed with the beauty, chaos, and heart of this country. 💫
