✨ Inspiration: Discover Madeira like a local, guided by the experts ✨

Madeira rises from the Atlantic with sheer cliffs, subtropical gardens, and a climate that invites travel year-round. Stay in Funchal, where seafront hotels overlook the harbour, cable cars climb to Monte, and levada trails wind through the island’s interior. Your time can be spent between wine lodges and coastal walks, while evenings bring fresh seafood, your favourite holiday drink, and uninterrupted ocean views.

The best time to visit Japan 🌸

It's no secret that a big attraction for Japan is the cherry blossom season, but other opportunities include vibrant foliage in the autumn and the incredible skiing in the winter. Not forgetting amazing festivals and celebration throughout the summer too!

January is perfect for skiing in Northern Japan

April is Cherry Blossom season, peak time for a magical experience, but it is a busy time to visit, so booking early is advised

June is great for vibrant gardens which makes Japan particularly beautiful

July is a good time to hike Mount Fuji as the weather gets drier and cooler

September - beat the crowds! Prices are usually cheaper at this time of year and it brings beautiful Autumnal trees. If you're visiting Osaka there's also a chance to experience Kishiwada Danjiri Matsuri, one of Japan's traditional festivals

November is great for seeing Tokyo with clear skies and cooler weather

If you're looking at arranging an exciting trip to Japan I'd love to help you plan and book it, whether you're looking for a bespoke itinerary or you'd like to join a group tour and travel with like-minded individuals.

✨ 🍂🌸 Inspiration: See every side of Japan by rail 🌸🍂 ✨

Travel through Japan by Shinkansen, linking Tokyo, Kyoto, and Hakone with ease. Spend time in Tokyo’s busy districts, visit Kyoto’s temples and traditional streets, and take in views of Mount Fuji from Hakone. Along the way, try regional dishes, stay in a ryokan, and experience hot spring baths as part of the journey. The bullet train journeys themselves are smooth, comfortable, and an essential part of seeing Japan properly.

My Travel Business is 2!!! 🎉🥳

Today marks 2 years since I officially launched my business as a Travel Counsellor and wow has it flown by!

I really want to take today to say a huge thank you to all of my wonderful customers, my friends and family for supporting me and to celebrate the journey I’ve been on since I started.

To celebrate I baked a cake and last week we celebrated joining TC 2 years ago while we were in Florence (overlayed photo!) 🥰

It’s been wonderful so far and I really can’t wait to see where my business goes next! 🥰

✨ Inspiration: Combine two Greek islands in one amazing trip ✨

Step off the beaten path and see a more authentic side of Greece by pairing Lefkada and Meganisi this summer. This twin-island trip brings together white-pebble beaches, quiet coves, and relaxed tavernas by the water. You’ll stay in handpicked villas with plenty of space and privacy, while your days are best spent out on the water, swimming, or exploring at your own pace.

Drop me an email if this looks like your perfect trip to Greece:
