✨ Just booked an incredible trip for 16 travellers! ✨

The team will be rewarded for their hard work with a trip to Rome next year for some team building, reflection, celebration, and of course relaxation.

Businesses are increasingly rewarding employees with high-end travel experiences – It's a powerful way to show appreciation, boost morale, and strengthen teams.

I take care of every detail so you can focus on enjoying the results. 🌍✈️

📩 Lets talk about planning your next team trip!

𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒅𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒉𝒐𝒎𝒆! 🥲🥲

Our big family don't want to leave Thailand🏝.
Their hosts at their last hotel (Skye Beach Koh Samui) have made them feel like royalty (which of course they are).
One of the family celebrated a birthday whilst there and during the celebrations they even toasted us for crafting this unique trip so expertly, which saw them visit 5 different locations including the legendary Elephant hills. They've kept us up to speed with everything they've done while over there and at times I think we've enjoyed the experience as much as they have (well almost🤣).

A few photos of Skye Beach, We've got to know the staff there so much It's now firmly on our book it list. Ellie Brownell-Travel Counsellor

OOPS...schoolboy error!
Charity trek update⚠️‼️
Zoom call with our tour leader this morning and it seems I've been training for the challenge in the wrong footwear🤦‍♂️
Apparently trainers are not suitable for climbing the Mount Toubkal.....so off I scrambles to Mountain Warehouse to pick up something suitable (they have a brilliant sale on at the moment by the way)😏. I now have one week to break in the new footwear to avoid blisters, so I'm wearing them around the house and walking 9 miles a day in a mad rush to soften them up. Bought myself a new hat while I was there, just to keep the sun off my neck....What d'ya think? 🤣

A knock at the door at 9.30PM last night, very unusual for us. It's the company we use for airport transfers for our clients, simply dropping off a booster seat, all perfectly innocent. Ellie Brownell-Travel Counsellor
But nooooo... not in this house, as Sully sees this as a declaration of war🪖💹🤣

Please take a look at the cause all you very special wonderful people have donated to💙
Reubens Retreat :
Supporting families who have suffered the loss of a child or have a child living with medical complexities

7 days since our fundraiser went live and in those days YOU have smashed that target, I will keep going and try to raise as much as possible for this but I just wanted you all to know the help and difference you've made with your generosity.
I just want to say another huge thank you to you all🙏.

✈️ Thinking about planning a group trip, meeting, incentive getaway, or corporate event?

Why not let me handle it for you.

Group travel sounds simple, but here’s what often goes wrong:

Flights don’t align, leaving people stuck at airports.

Hotels “lose” reservations or rooms aren’t ready.

Transfers and logistics get messy when dozens of people arrive at once.

Last-minute changes throw the whole plan off.

That’s where I step in. I take care of every detail, from flights and hotels to meeting spaces, transfers, and contingency planning, so you don’t have to.

The result?
No stress, no chasing confirmations, no wasted hours juggling schedules. You and your team just focus on the purpose of the trip, while I make sure everything runs smoothly.

✔️ More time for your business.
✔️ More value from your travel budget.
✔️ A smoother, stress-free experience.

So next time you’re staring down a group trip or corporate event, ask yourself: why not let me take it off your plate?

Wow! 90% in just 2 days! 🎉💛

I’m gobsmacked by the generosity and kindness of everyone who has donated so far to my Toubkal mountain climb for Reubens retreat.
Thanks to you, we’re already so close to hitting the fundraising goal — and it’s only been 48 hours!

Here's a few few photos from my training yesterday, 9.7 miles covered! Sully is loving it🐕‍🦺. I'll keep you all updated as I up the tempo and distance day by day until I'm ready to eat that mountain.💪

Every single contribution is helping to make a real difference, and I can’t thank you enough for your support, encouragement, and belief in this cause. 🙏To donate👇

We’re nearly there 🚀

OK guys please listen up.
In just four weeks I'll be climbing Mount Toubkal⛰️- the highest peak in North Africa.🥹

I don't mind admitting I'm sh #!ing myself, So when I'm not busy googling "how to fake your own disappearance" 😂 I'm walking Sully ten miles every day like a mountain goat to prepare.
Over 5 days I'll climb 4200 meters above sea level with weather ranging from 33 degrees 🥵to snow at the peak.

Why? Well apart from the fact I clearly don't value my knees, I do believe in supporting the charity Reuben's Retreat and the incredible work they do. Please take a look at their work here, 👇 They're based just up the road in Glossop, so really close to all our hearts.
https://www.reubensretreat.org/

Please sponsor me and help me hit my goal before i attempt to conquer this big, scary mountain, I will be forever grateful (and maybe still alive at the summit thanks to your moral support).

Thank you so much and wish me luck (and leg strength).

🌟 A New Chapter Begins Today! 🌟

I’m so excited to share that today I’m officially starting my Leisure to Corporate Travel Transition Course! 🎉✈️

After helping clients plan their dream holidays, I’ve decided it’s time to grow — and that means stepping into the world of corporate travel. This course will help me better serve businesses, especially when it comes to organising travel for larger groups, teams, and events.

I’ll be learning everything about corporate bookings, streamlined itineraries, and everything that makes business travel smooth and stress-free. 🧳💼

This means:
✅ More services available for businesses
✅ Expert help with conferences, team trips, and meetings
✅ Group bookings made simple — but still personal

🌴 And for all my amazing leisure clients — don’t worry! You can still expect the same high level of personalised service you are used to from Ellie.

I’m genuinely excited for this new chapter — to keep learning, growing, and supporting all of you no matter where you're heading next. 💙

Thank you for being part of the journey!
