I love all things travel related and as an independent travel business owner with Travel Counsellors, I am looking forward to becoming your one-stop-travel-shop for your next adventure - in particular if you're looking to travel by train.

Client: I'd like to travel to Sicily but don't want to fly.... Can you help?

Me: 💡Of course - take the train!

Client: Ok... Wait... What??

Me: Yes, similar to taking your car on a train through the mountains, like we do back home in Switzerland for example, to get from mainland Italy to Sicily, the train gets disassembled at one end, driven and parked on the ferry and reassembled at the other end, ready to continue its journey.

Check out this itineraray with our partner Railbookers for more details on the how - and as they suggest to fly one-way, we can adjust it all and get you back by train as well - maybe with stops along the way on the mainland to break the long journey, like Naples or Rome?

What do you think? Would you consider a rail holiday from the UK all the way to Sicily (and back)?

I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments!

Today marks the launch of the Responsible Travel Advisor Collective, a new industry initiative bringing together travel advisors who believe holidays should be sold with honesty, care and a genuine sense of responsibility towards the places, people and wildlife involved.

Responsible travel isn’t a passing trend or marketing buzzword to me; it’s part of doing this/my job properly. Thoughtful and meaningful travel planning can still be exciting, comfortable and full of joy - but it should also respect local communities, support small businesses and protect the natural world rather than exploit it.

I’m honoured to be one of the founding members alongside a brilliant group of travel advisors from across the UK, and huge credit goes to Ashley Quint for his hard work, passion and determination behind bringing this together.

When I started my business five years ago, sustainability and more ethical ways to experience destinations honestly weren’t front and centre of my thinking yet. Over time, through conversations, learning, listening and meeting some truly inspiring people within the industry, my perspective evolved and continues to do so.

You can read more about the charter here: [Responsible Travel Advisor Collective] (https://rtac.co.uk/) and if you have any questions or wish to join us, feel free to message me.

This takes me back 20 years - almost exactly to the day... back in late January 2006, I left with my backpack and the kitchen sink for Brazil, visiting (amongst other places) Rio de Janeiro, then Iguazu - also both sides (of course!) and I absolutely fell in love with Argentina and spent some fabulous days in Buenos Aires.

Not ready to head off on your own? Then this Intrepid Premium Tour is a great way to discover South America’s Icons: Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls & Rio de Janeiro

Experience the very best of South America on a curated six-night journey that sweeps you from the grand boulevards of Buenos Aires to the roar of Iguazu Falls and the golden beaches of Rio de Janeiro. Feel the spray on your face as you walk out to the Devil’s Throat on the Argentine side of Iguazu, then capture the full drama of the falls from panoramic viewpoints in Brazil. In Buenos Aires, combine a city tour with a behind-the-scenes visit to the legendary Teatro Colón before an unforgettable evening of dinner and tango. In Rio, you will take in the city’s highlights, from Christ the Redeemer to Sugarloaf Mountain, with time to absorb those sweeping coastal views. Throughout, you will stay in carefully selected premium hotels, with spacious air‑conditioned rooms, refreshing pools and elegant bars perfect for a well-earned Caipirinha at the end of the day.

Ready to experience South America’s most iconic cities and landscapes in one seamless trip? Contact me today to start planning your tailor-made journey.

🚞Journey through the heart of Canada on an unforgettable adventure. Begin in the majestic peaks of Banff and Jasper, where turquoise lakes and endless wilderness inspire awe. Board the iconic Rocky Mountaineer, winding through golden valleys and rugged canyons via Kamloops. As the landscape transforms, arrive in vibrant Vancouver — a city where mountains meet the sea. This is more than a holiday; it’s a breathtaking journey through nature’s grandest masterpiece.

My top tip: extend your stay and take your exploring to the water by visiting hidden coves in the Gulf Islands en route to Vancouver Island and spending some time relaxing by the beach in Tofino or enjoying Afternoon Tea in Victoria!
