☀️🍂 WHERE CAN YOU ACTUALLY FIND SUNSHINE THIS OCTOBER HALF TERM? ✈️

If the thought of swapping cold mornings, rain and darker evenings for a little more sunshine sounds good… 👀☀️

October half term doesn't have to mean putting the summer clothes away just yet!

Here are a few places I'd have on the list for a family getaway:

☀️ TURKEY

With temperatures still reaching around 25°C, Turkey can be a brilliant choice for some late-season sunshine.

Think beautiful beaches, warm days, gorgeous resorts and perhaps a little villa luxury for a special family escape. 🌴

☀️ PORTUGAL

Perfect for families where everyone wants something different!

⛳ Golf
🎾 Tennis
🏓 Padel
🏎️ Karting
☀️ Family activities

There’s plenty to keep everyone entertained while still giving you that lovely Algarve sunshine.

☀️ MALLORCA

A family favourite for a reason. 💙

Beautiful beaches, gorgeous villas and plenty beyond the pool — explore local markets, wander through pretty towns, enjoy tapas or simply find a quiet spot by the sea.

☀️ GREECE

Fancy squeezing in one last taste of summer? ☀️

October can be a lovely time to explore places like Kefalonia, Corfu or the Peloponnese, with ancient history, beautiful beaches, watersports and a slower pace.

And if you're lucky… you might even spot a turtle or two! 🐢

✨ So if you're thinking October half term = rain and jumpers… think again!

There are still plenty of places where you could be enjoying sunshine, beaches and that holiday feeling. 🌴☀️

📩 Haven't booked your half-term getaway yet? Don't panic — there are still options around, but availability is getting tighter.

Send me your dates, number of people and what you're looking for, and I'll see what I can find. ❤️

🌴 And just like that, I’m back from my little visit to my second home… Sal, Cape Verde ❤️

It was SO good to be back! Seeing how much the island has developed, catching up with old friends and, of course, enjoying that unmistakable Cape Verdean feeling that makes this place so special to me. 🥰

Cape Verde will always hold a very special place in my heart, and I absolutely love seeing more and more people becoming curious about the islands and choosing to visit — especially since the World Cup put Cape Verde on so many more people’s radar! ⚽️

But one thing I’ll always say is Cape Verde isn’t just one destination.

Each island has its own personality, scenery and experiences, so if Cape Verde has made it onto your curiosity list, I’d love to have a chat and help you work out which island is the right fit for you. 🌴☀️

And as for me…

Cape Verde, I’ll be back soon! ❤️

👋 HI, I’M SHONA!

If you’re new around here, I thought it was probably time I properly introduced myself… because behind all the holiday deals, destination inspiration and travel tips, there’s actually just me! 😂✈️

I’m Shona, an independent travel counsellor, and I’m the person behind this page.

I’ve worked in travel for over 10 years, and travel really is something I love. From family holidays and all-inclusive escapes to city breaks, cruises, honeymoons and those once-in-a-lifetime trips you’ve been dreaming about… I love helping people find the right holiday for them.

But I’m not a faceless website or a call centre. When you book with me, you’re dealing with me. 🙋🏼‍♀️

I’ll listen to what you actually want, search through the options, answer the questions, read the small print and put everything together for you — without you having to spend hours trawling through hundreds of websites yourself.

And the best bit? There’s no charge for my time researching and putting your options together. ❤️

This page is a mixture of holiday inspiration, travel tips, deals, travel news, a little bit of my own travels and, occasionally, me having absolutely no idea how to pose for a video like this! 😂

So if you’re new here… hello! 👋

And if you’ve been following me for a while, thank you for being here. 🥰

☀️ KOS | A FAMILY HOLIDAY WHERE EVERYONE GETS TO HAVE FUN 💙

Imagine a family holiday where the kids are racing down waterslides, the grown-ups are actually getting some time to relax, and your biggest decision of the day is beach or pool? 👀☀️

Welcome to Grecotel Casa Paradiso, sitting right on the beautiful sandy shores of Marmari Beach in Kos. 🏖️💙

This is the kind of Greek island escape that could easily become one of those holidays the whole family talks about for years. 🥰

💦 Two waterslides for the thrill-seekers
🏖️ Direct access to Marmari Beach
🏊 Swimming pools for lazy afternoons
⚽ Sports and activities for the competitive ones
🎭 Entertainment for all ages
🍽️ All-inclusive dining
☀️ And plenty of that gorgeous Greek sunshine!

And here's something that makes this one particularly interesting for larger families… 👀

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Some family accommodation can sleep up to 8 guests, giving bigger families the chance to holiday together without having to work out complicated room combinations.

Picture your holiday…

Morning on the beach. 🏖️
An afternoon of waterslides and family fun. 💦
A little downtime by the pool. 🍹
Dinner together. 🍽️
And then watching the sun go down over Kos. 🌅

That sounds like a pretty perfect family holiday to me. 💙

Because the best family holidays aren't just about keeping the kids entertained…

They're about creating those moments you'll all still be talking about long after you've unpacked the suitcases. ✈️❤️

Kos might just need to go on your family's holiday wish list.
