I have enjoyed working in the travel industry for over 15 years now. I enjoy planning the perfect holiday or travel itinerary for clients. It isn't always easy and can be a challenge but it is worthwhile when you get that message to say they are having an amazing holiday. I can offer every type of holiday and destination you can imagine.

What’s included with your accommodation?

🎅 Floor to ceiling windows with incredible views across the Arctic wilderness

Christmas Day help needed

After speaking to the guys at our local homeless shelter, it turns out that due to staffing and costs they weren’t going to be able to do much for Christmas this year.

So myself and 2 other local businesses, Ash at Moveahome and Shane at SLF have got together and we’re hoping to change that.

The plan is pretty simple really, we’re hoping a handful of local businesses might be able to help out, either by donating some food or making a small donation towards it.

The idea is to make sure everyone at the shelter gets to enjoy a nice buffet on Christmas Day and then a proper cooked Christmas dinner on Boxing Day, with all the trimmings of course.

We’re not looking for anything massive from anyone, just a few local businesses coming together to make Christmas a little bit better for people who could really do with it.

If you’re a local business who can help, or know someone who might be able to, please do tag them below or drop me a message.

Would be lovely if between us we could make this happen. ❤️

Update

I’ll be collecting donations Sunday afternoon from Tesco in Swindon if people would like to meet up. The below are the items that we really do need if you can help. They do have a kitchen so can store and freeze

Long life milk
Sugar
Cerials
Chocolate/crisps
Pasta
Rice
Pot noodles
Chicken, sausages, eggs

In terms of clothing there’s no need for these apart from Socks and underwear both male and female

Everyday toiletries for both male & female too are needed. If you can’t make next Sunday please let me know and I can collect

Thanks to everyone who’s been in touch to donate ❤️❤️

Really pleased to announce The travel man will be sponsoring up and coming highly rated Yorkshire boxer Charlie Ellis as he works towards his dream of becoming British champion. 🥊

It all came about from a chance conversation with Daz Medcalf New Charlie’s coach and a customer of mine. We got chatting about Charlie, his boxing and what he’s hoping to achieve, and one thing led to another!

Running a travel business means I get to meet some great people along the way, and it’s nice when something as simple as a chat with a customer turns into an opportunity to do something positive.

I’ve always been a big boxing fan, so being able to get behind a young lad who’s putting the hard work in and giving it a proper go is something I’m really pleased about.

🇵🇪 PERU – A JOURNEY YOU’LL NEVER FORGET

My colleagues Emma and Karen have just returned from an incredible trip to Peru and from everything they’ve shared with me, it’s certainly a destination that deserves a place on your travel wish list.

Even better, with the G Adventures Black Friday sale, there’s a great opportunity to experience the exact same trip for yourself.

🇵🇪 National Geographic Journeys: Peru – 18 March 2027

✈️ 10 days in total, including 8 nights on tour plus 2 nights travelling, with return flights from London included.

£2,899 per person

This is the very tour Emma and Karen have just experienced, so although I’ve not been myself, I’ve got two colleagues who can share plenty of first hand knowledge, tips and recommendations.

Some of the highlights include:

• Discovering the fascinating history and culture of Peru

• Exploring the colourful streets and markets of Cusco

• Experiencing the spectacular Sacred Valley

• Visiting the incredible Machu Picchu, a real bucket list moment

• Enjoying the local food, scenery and everyday Peruvian life along the way

National Geographic Journeys combine some fantastic experiences with expert local guides, giving you a real insight into the places you’re visiting.

One of the great things about being part of Travel Counsellors is having colleagues travelling all over the world and being able to share that experience and knowledge with my own customers.

So if Peru is somewhere you’ve always fancied visiting, get in touch and I’d be more than happy to tell you more about the trip.

And as always, if the dates or itinerary don’t quite work for you, I can look at tweaking things to suit.
