So lovely to receive some photos from my clients who have been on a 3 week luxury private tour around beautiful Sri-Lanka to celebrate a milestone wedding Anniversary.

Staying in luxury boutique accommodation throughout, they started their tour in Galle, then travelled to Udawalawe Elephant Sanctuary, Yala National Park, Ella including a trip on the scenic train, Kandy and Gal Oya National Park. And finally, a lovely few days of R&R on the beautiful beaches of the East Coast.

I can't wait to catch up with them on Friday to hear all about their Sri-Lankan Adventure. It's already making me want to go back again! Such a beautiful country, lovely people and delicious food.๐Ÿ˜‹

If you're thinking of going to Sri-Lanka just get in touch and I'll be happy to help plan the perfect escape.

Adults only holiday in the Caribbean?

Choosing the right Sandals resort makes a bigger difference than most people think. Itโ€™s not really about โ€œwhich one looks nicestโ€ โ€” itโ€™s about the vibe you want when you wake up each day, how much you want to do (or not do!), and what kind of island suits you.

Use the carousel as your quick guide, but if you asked me where Iโ€™d go personally? Iโ€™d probably pick Sandals Grenada.

Grenada has that laid-back, properly Caribbean feel without being sleepy. Itโ€™s the sort of place where you can do dinner, a slow evening walk, and be in bed earlyโ€ฆ or you can jump in a taxi and be out exploring. I also like that it feels easy. Youโ€™re not committing to long transfers and big โ€œtheme-parkโ€ energy. Itโ€™s a great fit if you want adults-only luxury that still feels relaxed and grounded in the island, not cut off from it.

Sandals also have a current offer of up to ยฃ300 off when you book between 27 August and 30 September 2026, with travel available through 31 December 2028.

Sandals isnโ€™t a one-size-fits-all brand. I can help you choose the right resort and island for how you like to travel, and narrow it down to options that genuinely match your pace โ€” then Iโ€™ll take care of the research, planning and booking.

If a holiday in the Caribbean is on your radar, message me and tell me your rough dates and the kind of trip you want (quiet, lively, adventurous, total switch-off). Iโ€™ll do the legwork and come back with the best-fit ideas.

07/09/2026

Wow! Such an amazing and tough 15k hike yesterday along the Jurassic Coast in Dorset in preparation for our trip to Peru in just 3 weeks to hike the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu with GAdventures.

This is a bucket-list trip Iโ€™ve wanted to do since I was in my early 20โ€™s and canโ€™t believe Iโ€™m finally going to do it! One of the worldโ€™s best known hikes, we will get to experience a combination of mountains capes, cloud forests, and jungles as well as archaeological and cultural treasures.

Holidays are about so much more than seeing the sights โ€“ theyโ€™re also about the places you stay, the people you meet and the experiences you have along the way. Iโ€™m really looking forward to experiencing the Peruvian cultures and customs, meeting the locals, those in our group and eating in out-of-the-way restaurants which are all part of the experience on an adventure tour. The journey is every bit as important as the stops you make along the way. Such an adventure!

We are also proudly supporting the mental health charity Mind Dorset. Negative mental health will have affected most people in one way or another, whether it's themselves, their families or friends. Supporting this charity will help them give vital support. ๐ŸŽ—๐Ÿ’•

Ever catch yourself staring out the window day-dreaming and thinking, โ€œI could be somewhere else right nowโ€?

Thatโ€™s the bit I love most about travel. The feeling you get when you have a holiday booked and something exciting to look forward to. Whether itโ€™s a city break, ski trip, cruise or a luxury beach break, itโ€™s a few days where you get away, have time to breathe again and switch off from your daily routine.

When you come to me with โ€œwe want sun, but not chaosโ€ or โ€œwe need a reset, not another busy breakโ€, I get it. Weโ€™ll have a conversation about where you want to go and what youโ€™d like to do. Iโ€™ll narrow it down to the places that actually fit what youโ€™re looking for โ€” I can then recommend the right destination, the right hotel, the right kind of trip. Not the one that looked good for someone else on the internet.

I take care of the details from start to finish. Flights, transfers, room types, board basis, the bits that get missed until itโ€™s too late. And working with over 400 travel suppliers, I can find the right holiday to suit your requirements.

And it doesnโ€™t stop once itโ€™s booked. Iโ€™m there to look after the details and make sure everything is taken care of from start to finish so that you can spend the weeks before your holiday thinking about what youโ€™re going to do when you get there, rather than worrying about whether youโ€™ve booked the right hotel in the right location.

So, if you need something to look forward to and youโ€™re ready to start planning your next holiday, get in touch and I would love to help you plan your next adventure.

I know it might feel early, but Iโ€™m already looking at summer 2027 holidays to get ahead of the places people start talking about once flights and the best hotels are gone.

I spend time looking at travel trends, quieter corners, and emerging destinations, so you donโ€™t have to lose an evening to 38 tabs and conflicting reviews. So if somewhere looks like it might be popular in 2027, I'd like to share it with you.

Two interesting destinations for Summer 2027:

Con Dao, Vietnam โ€“ for me, this is one for travellers who want a calmer, more nature-led Vietnam. Beautiful beaches, a proper sense of escape, and the kind of place where the hotel you pick really matters because that becomes your base for the whole vibe of the trip. Ideal if youโ€™re thinking โ€œslow mornings, good food, boat trips, a bit of wildlifeโ€, rather than a whistle-stop itinerary.

Syros, Greece โ€“ if you love the Cyclades but want something a bit more under-the-radar, Syros has real character. Lovely architecture, great dining, and an easy mix of town evenings and beach days. It suits couples and friends who want Greece, but not the most obvious version of it.

This is where using me as your Travel Consultant helps. I can spot the less obvious destinations early, recommend the right hotels and experiences, and plan the wider holiday around what matters to you โ€” pace, comfort, food, beaches, culture, or a bit of everything.

So if youโ€™re already thinking about summer 2027 holidays, or you fancy somewhere a little different and want help with the travel research and planning, just message me and I'll do the rest.

Today I spent the day onboard Fred. Olsen's Beautiful ship Borealis before it departed for the Norwegian Fjords and I was really impressed.

The adult-only ship is stylish, spacious and comfortable, with elegant public areas, restaurants and has only 702 spacious cabins.

On board Borealis youโ€™ll find youโ€™re never overcrowded. There is always ample room in which to indulge yourself in the stylish dining venues, enjoy a glass of your favourite tipple and fantastic entertainment at the bars, lounges and theatres, and while away the hours by the all-season pool which has a retractable roof.

Borealis is also off on an Amazon & Antarctica Adventure in 2028 - an amazing 87 night Grand Voyage from Southampton. She will be visiting 28 ports in 17 countries across 5 continents.

Just get in touch for more information about this epic adventure.

Iโ€™ve just booked a ski holiday to Banff in the Canadian Rockiesโ€ฆ and yes, Iโ€™m very jealous!

This group of experienced skiers booked with me last year for Austria, and theyโ€™ve already rebooked for Banff in January 2027.

Theyโ€™ll be staying in a central hotel right in the heart of this buzzing mountain town. Think bustling little shops, amazing scenery, and some brilliant aprรจs bars when the ski boots come off.

And itโ€™s not all about the slopes either. Banff is packed with off-slope fun too โ€” hot springs, ice-climbing, snowy walks, and that crisp mountain air that makes everything feel like a film.

There's also the option to extend your stay in Canada and add a few days sightseeing in Vancouver.

So if youโ€™re thinking about winter 2026/27 โ€” whether thatโ€™s skiing, a beach escape or another adventure โ€” just send me a message and I'd love to help plan your trip.
