DECEMBER HOLIDAYS START HERE.

What does your ideal December escape look like?

Winter sun? warm beaches, sunshine and time to unwind.
Christmas magic? festive markets, charming European cities and that special Christmas atmosphere.
A winter wonderland? snowy forests, reindeer encounters and the chance to witness the Northern Lights.

Or perhaps a different kind of escape, closer to home?

Whatever you’re dreaming of, the choice is yours. I’m putting together my December holiday options, which I’ll be sharing soon.

Already have dates or a destination in mind? DM me, and I’ll be happy to share the options I can explore for you.

Let’s find the December holiday that’s right for you and your family.

Sometimes, the best family weekends don’t require a flight. 🇦🇪

For our mid-term break, we were supposed to travel abroad. Instead, we headed to Khor Fakkan and discovered a different side of the UAE: local markets, mountain scenery, beautiful beaches and relaxed moments by the sea.

It’s the kind of weekend that reminds you how much there is to explore right on your doorstep.

My tip? Stay overnight, start early the next morning and don’t try to fit everything in.

Save this for your next family escape from Dubai. And tell me: have you explored the UAE’s east coast yet?



Make the journey part of the adventure: Forget rushing straight to the hotel. Take the scenic drive towards the east coast, enjoy the changing landscapes and leave room for spontaneous stops.

Explore a local market
One of my favourite ways to discover a place is through its markets. Colourful produce, everyday local life and something different from the usual mall outing.

Find your own little slice of paradise
The east coast has beautiful stretches of coastline framed by mountains. Pack the swimwear, bring snacks for the kids and leave plenty of time to enjoy the sea.

Don’t turn it into a race
Stay overnight instead of driving back in a hurry. Wake up early, enjoy a quieter beach and make the most of the coast before heading home.

Some trips remind you why you love your job. This was one of them. 🇪🇸❤️

In July, I had the privilege of joining a FAM trip organised jointly by the Spanish Tourist Office for the GCC and Andalucía Tourism and I was incredibly humbled to be chosen as the only travel expert from the GCC to attend.

And what a trip it was.

I’ve been to Spain four times before, but this experience opened my eyes to another Spain. Not just the places you find in a guidebook, but the Spain you discover through the people who know it best.

The learning. The conversations with local suppliers. Meeting tourism officials and the right people on the ground. Discovering experiences, stories and places that I can now share with my clients.

It reminded me once again how important it is to have the right local guides, experts and connections when creating truly special journeys.

Because my job isn’t simply about booking hotels and flights. It’s about knowing who to trust, where to go, what to experience and how to make a destination come alive.

Thank you to everyone who made this experience so special, and to Andalucía for showing me a Spain I hadn’t discovered yet.

I’ve noticed a growing interest in the Maldives among my clients l, and honestly, I get it.

Families: some of the best family resorts in the world, with kids’ clubs, teen activities, water sports, marine experiences and plenty to keep everyone entertained, while parents get to relax too.

❤️ Couples: overwater villas, private pools, incredible spas, dreamy sunsets and that feeling of being completely away from the world.

Multi-generational families: the right resort can cater to grandparents, parents, teenagers and little ones all at once, without anyone feeling like they’re compromising.

But then comes the question: “Isn’t the Maldives so expensive?”

It can be. Flights, especially last minute, can add up. And once you arrive, your resort is your destination, you’re paying for the food, drinks, experiences, service and everything the resort offers.

And with an almost unlimited choice of resorts, the real challenge is knowing which one is actually right for you.

That’s where I come in. I know the resorts, what makes them different, and have relationships with hotel managers that can sometimes mean exclusive rates, upgrades and those little extra touches that make a holiday even more special.

And here’s the good news: the Maldives doesn’t have to be out of reach.

I’ve already started booking my clients for December, including Christmas, and I’m genuinely surprised by some of the rates I’m seeing.

Early booking + exclusive rates can make a BIG difference. And you can secure your holiday with a deposit rather than leaving everything until the last minute.

So… are you ready to join the privileged club of early planners? 😉

If the Maldives is on your wish list, let’s chat. Tell me who you’re travelling with and what you’re looking for, and I’ll see what I can find.

Friday thoughts: it’s never too early to start planning your holidays.

While many are still enjoying their summer break, I’m already looking ahead to October and December holidays, taking notes, chatting with clients, exploring options, and creating ideas for their next escapes.

There is something so satisfying about planning ahead: finding better flight options, having a wider choice of beautiful hotels, and being able to select the experiences that truly make a trip memorable, without the pressure of last-minute decisions.

I also love that this gives my clients the time to come back to me, refine the details, and add those final touches that make their holiday feel personal and special.

So, tell me… are your October holidays already decided? Are they fixed by your children’s school calendar? And for December, are you planning to stay in the UAE or escape somewhere abroad?

I’d love to hear your plans!

One of the things I love most about my work as a Travel Counsellor is the flexibility it gives me.

This summer, I’m enjoying a little change of scenery in Tunisia, taking some time to relax by the beach, enjoy the beautiful weather, and reconnect with my family.

But being away doesn’t mean switching off completely. I’m still taking enquiries and supporting my clients throughout their travels. If you have a question, need assistance while away, or would like to start planning your next trip, feel free to reach out.

Just a small note: I’m currently on Tunisian time (GMT+1), which is 3 hours behind the UAE, so my replies might be a little slower than usual, but I’ll always get back to you as soon as I can 😊

Great travel support doesn’t stop when the journey begins.
