This is not your traditional cruise: think of it more as an expedition.

With HX the focus is on getting right into the heart of the destination: Vancouver to Whittier in Alaska. Zodiac into quiet bays, stepping ashore in Antarctica among penguins and ice, exploring the Galápagos with naturalists, or following Norway’s fjords and coastline with the chance of the Northern Lights.

Smaller ships, expert talks instead of big shows, lots of time off the ship and a real sense of adventure. It is firmly on my list for next year.

If an HX expedition to Alaska, Antarctica, the Galápagos or Norway sounds like your kind of trip, get in touch and we can chat through some ideas.

Thinking about Canada for 2027? Now is a really good time to start talking about it.

I’ve lived there and spent time in Vancouver, on Vancouver Island, in bear lodges on the coast and travelling through the Rockies to Banff and Calgary It’s a part of the world I absolutely love.

For 2027, why not build in a once‑in‑a‑lifetime experience like the Rocky Mountaineer and an Alaskan cruise, with glaciers, wildlife and those big cinematic landscapes?

Planning ahead means we can do it all in a relaxed way, rather than rushing or trying to squeeze things in at the last minute.

If Canada is on your wish list for 2027, I’d love to chat through some ideas with you.

I am delighted to have just booked a G-Adventures Kilimanjaro climb for a solo traveller, and it has really reminded me how empowering it is to travel entirely on your own terms.

From choosing your own pace to that amazing confidence boost you get when you step outside your comfort zone, it is no surprise that more people than ever are embracing solo adventures.

In my new blog, “Solo travel: why more people are choosing to go it alone”, I share my thoughts, tips and inspiration on why solo travel is on the rise and how to make it feel exciting, safe and completely “you”.

If you have ever thought “I’d love to go, but I’ve no one to go with”, this one is for you.

You can find the blog via the link in my bio, or pop me a message if you would like to chat about your own solo adventure.

Rail travel is becoming increasingly popular, and it is easy to see why: it is relaxed, scenic and more sustainable, with no airport stress and plenty of time to simply sit back and enjoy the journey.

I have just booked a fantastic trip in partnership with Great Rail Journeys: Top to Toe of Italy. This itinerary takes travellers through some of the country’s most iconic destinations, from the romantic canals of Venice down through classic cities and beautiful countryside to the sun-drenched south, with wonderful regional food and ever-changing views from the window.

If you like the idea of exploring by rail, whether in Italy or elsewhere in the world, I would love to help you plan your own journey.

New Zealand is proving very popular with my clients right now, and I’m already working with trusted local experts on some amazing ideas for 2027.

What I love about New Zealand is how flexible it is. By teaming up with specialists based in‑country, I can tailor a multi‑centre itinerary around you: how long you have, the style of accommodation you like, the pace you prefer and, of course, the budget you want to work within.

We can fine‑tune routes and drive times, swap hotels, and add or remove excursions so nothing feels “off the shelf” – it is all designed to fit you.

If New Zealand is on your wish list for 2027 and you’d like a bespoke itinerary created with local insight and joined‑up planning from start to finish, I’d love to help.

As well as creating premium multi centre itineraries and luxury beach escapes, I also work closely with specialist sports travel providers to offer unforgettable access to the world’s most sought after sporting events.

I’m delighted to have worked with Vedere Travel to plan a super week in Las Vegas, built around the Grand Prix: incredible race-day atmosphere, hospitality box access and a luxury stay in one of the city’s most iconic hotels.

If you’d love to combine bespoke travel with world class sport, I can design a tailored package around your favourite event.

The Maldives might look simple on Instagram: white sand, turquoise water and dreamy overwater villas. but with hundreds of islands, different atolls, transfers, meal plans and room types, it can be hard to know where to start or feel confident you’ve chosen the right one.

That is where I come in. I use my own Maldives experience and my clients’ feedback to cut through the noise and match you with the island that really fits you.

In my latest blog, “Maldives made simple: how I help you find the right island”, I share how I help you avoid common mistakes and create the Maldives escape that feels just right.

Head to the link in my bio to read the full blog and start planning your own barefoot‑in‑the‑sand getaway.

What I’ve been working on this week so far…

Japan for Autumn 2027 has been proving popular and I’ve been putting together some fabulous itineraries taking in Tokyo, Kanazawa, Hakone, Kyoto, Osaka and Hiroshima - a wonderful mix of culture, food, scenery and some really special experiences along the way.

The autumn colours make it such a beautiful time to visit and as it’s a popular season, now is a good time to start planning,

If Japan is on your list, I’d be delighted to help.

What’s trending in travel right now? The 'Coolcation'!

With record heatwaves hitting Southern Europe, travellers are officially trading intense summer heat for cooler climates.

Here is how I am bringing this trend to life for my clients:

Swiss Milestone Birthdays: Luxury scenic trains and Matterhorn views, paired with iconic James Bond-style dining at the revolving Piz Gloria restaurant.

Nordic Road Trips: Epic fjord drives through Norway paired with architectural boutique lodges.

Denmark & Sweden Multi-Stops: Seamless city-hopping from Copenhagen’s food scene to Stockholm’s island lifestyle.

There is still plenty of time to experience these regions before winter sets in. They are stunningly beautiful in the autumn, with incredible fall foliage and far fewer crowds.

Ready to escape the heat in style? Let’s design your next 'cool' getaway.
