Something to consider when booking your own holiday ....

You’re missing out — every single time.

Here’s the truth no one tells you:

You’re already paying a commission on every hotel you book.

Book direct? The hotel keeps the full profit. You get no perks, no upgrades, no support

Book through an online portal? They take the full commission

You still get no added value — and no one to call when things go wrong.

Now here’s what happens when you book with a professional travel expert:

I earn the same commission — but I actually work for it.

I’ll get to know your preferences, goals, and style of travel.

I’ll personally make tailored requests with the hotel.

And I’ll follow up before you travel — so nothing is left to chance.

Same price. Totally different outcome.
It’s about peace of mind.
It’s about knowing your time off is being looked after by someone who cares.

Travel isn’t one-size-fits-all.
Just because a friend loved a place doesn’t mean you will.
Your holiday should reflect you — not someone else’s taste.

And those flashy online “deals”?
They’re not savings — they’re just marketing.

If you’re ready to travel smarter and feel supported every step of the way, let’s chat.

I have 30 years plus experience & love to chat so call me for inspiration...

🐚 All Inclusive Grecotel LUX ME Dama Dama
Summer 2026 from £849pp 🐚 BOOK SUMMER 2026 NOW

The Grecotel LUX ME Dama Dama, Rhodes is luxurious from the word go – from its idyllic location on a Blue Flag beach to its huge pools.

The architecture and the interiors are a perfect blend of the modern and the traditional, and the rooms are bright and cosy.

The pools here are nothing short of giant. In fact, the main pool stretches from the hotel’s main building all the way down to the beach. If you can tear yourself away from your sun lounger, you can get involved in games of beach volleyball and ping pong, or try aqua aerobics and gymnastics classes.

So, let’s talk restaurants. The main eatery is a buffet place serving around-the-world dishes and the rest are à la carte eateries – you’ve got the pick of Asian, Italian, fine dining and Greek cuisine. Then there’s the beach lounge, where you’ll find a bar, a gelateria, and a creperie – all open until sunset. The bar line-up features three options, too, including a wine bar and a lobby lounge.

Price from £849pp based on 2 sharing a Double Room with Garden View on All Inclusive Plus for 7 nights. Transfers and luggage allowance included.

UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC)

▪️What is the UK GHIC?
The UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) allows you to access necessary state healthcare in the European Economic Area (EEA) and certain other countries. You’ll receive treatment on the same terms as a local resident, which may be free or require a payment similar to what they would pay.

▪️Has the GHIC replaced the EHIC?
Yes, the UK GHIC has replaced the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). However, if you still have a valid EHIC, you can continue using it until it expires. Once it does, you’ll need to apply for a UK GHIC.

▪️When can I apply for a UK GHIC?
You can apply for a new card up to nine months before your current EHIC or GHIC expires.

▪️How long does a UK GHIC last, and is it free?
A UK GHIC is free of charge and remains valid for up to five years.

▪️Where should I apply for a UK GHIC?
You should apply through the official NHS website . Be cautious of unofficial websites that may charge you a fee to apply.

▪️Can I still get a UK EHIC?
If you have rights under the Withdrawal Agreement, you can choose to apply for a new UK EHIC instead of a GHIC.

▪️Does the UK GHIC replace travel insurance?
No, the UK GHIC is not a substitute for travel insurance. It is strongly recommended to have private travel and medical insurance for the duration of your trip.
