☕✈️ TRAVEL DROP-IN THIS SATURDAY! 🌍

Thinking about your next holiday? Got an idea but don’t quite know where to start? Or just fancy talking travel over a coffee?

I’ll be at Café eleven in Ruyton Xi Towns this Saturday (19th) from 11:00am until 1:30pm for a travel drop-in.

Come along and say hello and I’ll buy you a coffee while we chat about any holiday plans, ideas or questions you might have.

I can share some of my own recent experiences from Mauritius, Greek island hopping and Barcelona, but equally we can talk about wherever you fancy going next.

Whether it’s a cruise, a honeymoon, a special occasion, a family holiday, a city break, something completely tailor-made, or accessible travel for someone with additional needs or a disability — come and have a chat.

And if Mauritius happens to be on your radar… well, I might just know a thing or two about that one! 🇲🇺

And of course, Ruth will be there serving up the usual lovely coffees, delicious cakes, sandwiches and all the other café favourites, so there’s every excuse to make a little visit of it. ☕🍰🥪

No appointment, no obligation and no hard sell — just good travel advice, a coffee and hopefully a little inspiration.

📅 This Saturday
🕚 11:00am – 1:30pm
☕ Coffee’s on me!

See you there
