Today I celebrate my 1 year anniversary of becoming a self-employed Personal Travel Consultant ✈️🌍

I’m currently out of office, but I just had to jump on and write this post!

When I first decided to start this journey, I was absolutely terrified. Becoming self-employed is not for the faint-hearted, and I kept saying to my husband… what if it doesn’t work? what if no one supports me?
(I couldn’t have been more wrong if I tried🥹)

I’ve always loved travelling (anyone who knows me knows I’m always planning the next trip! 😂), but this was a whole new career to learn, while also juggling family life with a 3 and 1 year old!

Well… I’ve made it through my first year 🥹

And I truly couldn’t have done it without every single one of you. From starting my little business from scratch, to growing to over 2300 followers, to planning and booking so many amazing holidays for you all, it honestly means the world.

It’s so important to remember how far we’ve come, especially on the harder days 🤍

If you’ve liked, shared, booked a holiday with me, recommended me or left a review… thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Here’s to year 2, let’s see what it brings! I’m hoping it can only get bigger and better 🙌✨
