Great news for travellers! ✈️🌍

The lifting of the FCDO advisory against travel to or via the Middle East is welcome news and brings three major benefits for holidaymakers:

✨ The Middle East is back on the map – travellers can once again book with confidence, with standard travel insurance cover available where policies apply.

✨ More flight options and greater flexibility – many airlines use Middle Eastern hubs, opening up a wider range of routes to destinations such as South East Asia, the Indian Ocean and New Zealand.

✨ Fantastic value to be found – airlines and hotels are eager to welcome visitors back, meaning there are some incredible offers and added availability on the market.

If you’ve been thinking about booking that next getaway, now is the perfect time to take advantage of the extra choice and special offers available.

Happy Friday, everyone! Where will your next adventure take you? ☀️✈️

Kids getting a bit too big for a sofa bed in the corner? This best selling hotel is currently offering two rooms for the price of one in the summer holidays with every pool suite booking.

That means a private pool for you and a separate space for your big kids!!

The beautiful Kalkan Regency in Kalkan is one of my top recommendations for families with teens. Kalkan is a beautiful town offering a picturesque harbour and plenty of bars and restaurants to wander out to of an evening. What’s more there’s free entry into a very cool beach club, a complimentary gullet cruise and 15% off the food and drinks bill for families travelling this summer holidays!

This will sell out fast so enquire with me today!!

One of the questions I’m asked most often is:
“Where should we go?”
But before I can answer that, I usually need to know something else...
“How much time do you have?”
Because the perfect destination for a long weekend is rarely the perfect destination for a month-long adventure.

The best itineraries aren’t built around countries.
They’re built around pace.
Knowing how much time you have available is often the difference between a trip that feels rushed and one that feels effortless.
So, if I had 3 - 5 nights, 1 week, 10 days, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 1 month or even 6 weeks...
These are the destinations I’d choose.

Mexico is having a real moment right now but beyond the well-known beach resorts, there’s so much more to the country than people often realise. ✨

From the food scene and boutique hotels of Mexico City to the slower pace of Oaxaca, the wildlife of Baja, colourful colonial towns, cenotes, Caribbean islands and multi-country adventures through Central America, Mexico works brilliantly as a destination for so many different travel styles.

That’s exactly why it’s become one of my most requested destinations recently. Whether you want:
a culture-heavy couples trip
a stylish coast + city itinerary
family adventure
wildlife encounters
hidden gems away from the crowds
or a longer multi-country journey
…Mexico can do all of it exceptionally well.

The best itineraries here are usually the ones that combine different regions and experiences rather than staying in just one place.
Save this for future Mexico travel inspiration 🇲🇽

If you’re thinking about Mexico for 2026 or beyond, I’d love to help design something more tailored and experience-led than a standard package holiday.

If you’ve ever dreamed of staying on your own private island, this might be one of the most extraordinary places you’ve never heard of.

Hidden in Indonesia’s remote Anambas Archipelago, Bawah Reserve is spread across six private islands, surrounded by turquoise lagoons, coral reefs and some of the most pristine beaches in Southeast Asia.

The best part? It’s surprisingly easy to reach, with a direct flight to Singapore followed by Bawah’s private seaplane transfer.
I’ve shared a closer look at what makes this castaway luxury escape so special in the slides above.

Would you swap the Maldives for Bawah Reserve? 🌴

This is exactly why having a real travel expert in your corner matters.
When plans changed unexpectedly due to the Middle East situation, we quickly pivoted from Thailand to Mexico and got everything rearranged with as little stress as possible!
Travel rarely goes 100% to plan but having somebody there when it doesn’t makes a huge difference.

Japan is shaping up to be one of the most in-demand destinations for 2026 and it’s easy to see why. From neon cityscapes and ancient temples to snow-covered mountains, tropical islands and everything in between, it’s a country that genuinely works for so many different travel styles.

What makes Japan so special is how well it adapts to season, pace and purpose. Families, couples, honeymooners, skiers and well-travelled explorers can all experience something completely different, yet equally memorable.

If Japan is on your radar for 2026, now is the time to start thinking beyond the obvious and designing a route that truly fits how you like to travel.

Save this for later, or message me if you’d like help creating a Japan itinerary that goes deeper than the standard route ✨

All-inclusive family holidays don’t have to mean crowded buffets, average food and zero downtime for parents.

These are some of the best true all-inclusive resorts worldwide for families travelling in summer chosen for space, service, quality dining and facilities that work for both children and adults.

From relaxed Mediterranean escapes to long-haul resorts where everything is genuinely taken care of, these are places where family travel feels easy, well thought-out and enjoyable.

Summer 2026 might sound far away, but the best family resorts book earlier than most people expect, especially for peak school holiday dates and family-friendly room types.
If you’re starting to think about next summer and want help choosing the right resort for your family, I’d love to help you plan it properly.

Your first long-haul trip is exciting but it can also feel overwhelming if you don’t know what to expect.
 
One of the biggest surprises for first-time long-haul travellers isn’t the distance, the destination, or even the flight… it’s everything that comes around it. Travel fatigue, jet lag, long transfer times, and decision overload are all completely normal, but they’re often underestimated.
 
The good news? With the right planning, pace, and support, long-haul travel doesn’t have to feel exhausting or stressful. In fact, the best trips are the ones that feel easy, where logistics flow smoothly, downtime is built in, and you’re free to actually enjoy the experience.
 
Whether you’re planning your very first long-haul holiday or starting to think about a bigger trip in 2026, understanding what to expect (and planning for it properly) makes all the difference.
