🏯 Stepping Back Through 600 Years of History 🏯

This morning we are at the First Emperor’s Ming Tomb just outside Beijing – the final resting place of one of China’s most powerful rulers and the founder of the Ming Dynasty.

Surrounded by ancient forests, grand stone archways and incredible craftsmanship, it’s hard not to be humbled by the sheer scale and history of this place. Imagine the planning, manpower and artistry that went into creating a tomb fit for an emperor over 600 years ago!

One of the things we love most about travelling is standing in places that you’ve read about in history books and realising you’re actually there. China continues to surprise us at every turn with its fascinating history, culture and incredible preservation of its past.

Not a bad office for the day! 🇨🇳❤️

WHO KNEW AN OLD STEEL MILL COULD BE THIS INCREDIBLE?

Today we visited Shougang Park in Beijing, and honestly, it completely blew us away.

Once one of China's largest steelworks, this massive industrial site has been transformed into a futuristic urban playground where towering blast furnaces sit alongside beautiful lakes, gardens, cafés, museums and some seriously impressive architecture.

It feels a little bit like stepping into the future while walking through the past at the same time.

The contrast is fascinating – rusting steel giants standing proudly beside sleek modern buildings and public spaces filled with locals enjoying their day. It's also home to some of the venues used during the 2022 Winter Olympics, including the famous Big Air ski jump.

This is exactly why we love travelling. Sometimes the places that surprise you the most aren't the ones in the brochures.

China continues to challenge every expectation we had, and we're loving every minute of it.

So it’s been a whirlwind three days here in beautiful Fiji 🌴☀️

One thing Saskia and I have always believed is this — how can we genuinely recommend a resort or destination to our clients if we’ve only ever seen it in a brochure?

Yes, the photos might look stunning… but brochures don’t tell you the vibe of a place. They don’t tell you whether a resort is buzzing with families and activities, or whether it’s better suited to an older couple wanting peace, cocktails and complete relaxation.

That’s why we do these reccys for YOU.

We walk the properties, eat the food, check out the rooms, test the service, explore the locations and really get a feel for who each resort is perfect for. Because matching the RIGHT people to the RIGHT holiday is what we do best.

Our commitment to our clients has always been about real-world experience — not just selling a destination from behind a desk.

And honestly? It’s a tough job… but someone’s gotta do it 😉🍹

The List of Properties We Visited :

Crowne Plaza Wailoaloa
Sheraton Villas Denarau
Sofitel Denarau
Raddison Blu Denarau
The Warwick
The Naviti
Tambua Sands
Hideaway Resort
Shangri La Fijian
The Outrigger
Sonasali Resort

So .. if you’re thinking of a Fiji Escape we have the inside knowledge to ensure you have a fabulous time!
