Your next Caribbean escape is hiding in this carousel.

Same blue sea, wildly different vibes — let’s find the one that feels like you.

Imagine drifting down a bamboo river in Jamaica, snorkelling in the Tobago Cays, or sipping cocktails as the Pitons glow at sunset in St Lucia.

I love helping travellers discover these moments — and, more importantly, matching you to the island that fits your style.

I’ll point you to the best beaches, hidden waterfalls and unforgettable experiences each island has to offer. Bonus: I can suggest romantic stays (think private pools and laid-back luxe) that make your holiday truly special.

The Caribbean is a very special place and has so much to offer, if you're curious which island would be your perfect match comment below and I’ll send you a link to my blog which will help you decide…

Venice this December? Think twinkling lights reflected on the canals, market stalls brimming with festive treats, and a glass (or three) of Italy’s finest bubbles.

This 3-night Venetian escape pairs Christmas magic with a touch of indulgence — you’ll explore the city’s enchanting squares, stay in a 4★ hotel, and head out to the Prosecco Hills for vineyard tours, tastings, and a delicious lunch.

From £635pp, departing 6 December 2025 from London Stansted (regional airports available).

Thank you to the team at British Virgin Island Tourism UK team for a great event at The Bristol Hotel yesterday. I'm lucky enough to be going to the BVIs in a couple of weeks. It was an insightful evening hearing about the different resorts and activities across the archipelago which consists of 60 islands! They have been voted 4th across the Caribbean and Atlantic Island by Conde Nast.
I can help plan the journey and experiences.

The Caribbean will be my next campaign focus over the week ahead, I'm hoping to inspire more of you to visit the region as it is a very special place.

Thanks to: .uk and

Forget crowded high streets and identical chain stores this Christmas.

Instead, visit one of Europe’s legendary Christmas markets — from Berlin’s grand Alexanderplatz to Prague’s fairy-tale Old Town Square, Salzburg’s Mozart-inspired stalls to Lille’s cozy French charm.

Each market has its own magic: handcrafted ornaments, local delicacies, and that unmistakable scent of mulled wine and roasted chestnuts. This is Christmas shopping as it should be.

Watch the reel for all 12 of our favourite markets with their exact dates, then let me handle the rest — flights, hotels, transfers, everything sorted so your festive shopping becomes the holiday highlight, not the hassle.

💬 Save this post and comment ‘MARKET’ — I’ll send our complete guide straight to your DMs so you can start planning your magical escape.

Does Christmas shopping on the high street ever feel more like a chore than a joy? Crowds, queues, the same old shops — it’s hardly festive.

Imagine swapping that for a getaway and enjoying some early Christmas cheers and crossing off some of the shopping list at the same time!

Europe’s Christmas markets are legendary — Vienna, Prague, Cologne, Strasbourg, Berlin — where you’re wandering through wooden chalets, sipping mulled wine, listening to carols, and picking up unique handcrafted gifts under twinkling lights.

I’ll handle the planning — flights, hotels, transfers, all the little details — so your Christmas shopping is part of the holiday, not the hassle.

Something new......
I've got winter covered from every angle - whether it’s breaking up the winter with sunshine☀️ escapes or celebrating the season with ski trips, Lapland adventures, European Christmas markets, glimpsing the Northern Lights or Arctic expeditions❄️ . I'll be highlighting each of these. They’re varied, memorable, and the kind of experiences you'll be talking about well into the future.

Winter Sun is all about escaping the chill with beachside relaxation, while Winter Fun celebrates the magic of the season with festive markets, snowy adventures, and unforgettable experiences.

I'll be starting with Christmas Markets later today⛄🎁🎄🎅

Mauritius is more than white-sand beaches and honeymoons…
Think twin-centre escapes, stylish stays with more included than you’d expect, and a perfect pick for foodies, families or romantic getaways.
Comment ‘Mauritius’ and I’ll show you how to make it your next big adventure.
