๐ฟ Today is World Environment Day! ๐
You may not know that I'm passionate about travel AND the environment, and it IS possible to travel in more sustainable ways. I'm sure my ex-students could tell you all about this ๐
When selecting resorts for clients, I make sure to include 'Green Leaf' properties. What makes a property 'Green Leaf'? ๐
1. Property standards are aligned with the Global Sustainable Tourism Council
2. They'll promote social and economic benefits within local communities
3. Enhance cultural heritage
4. Reduce negative impacts on the environment
5. Effectively plan with sustainability in mind
How do you travel sustainably?
Answer in the comments, and let's share some ideas! ๐ก

โ๏ธ Client Testimonial ๐ค
Sometimes, I get asked why I should book my holiday with a travel counsellor instead of online by myself.
Industry knowledge, experience, relationships with suppliers, duty of care, safety, insurance, and a 24/7 duty office are just *some* of the perks.
Equally as important, though, is getting it right for my customers.
I personalise every enquiry with care to ensure you have a seamless trip that matches exactly what you're after. That way, you can focus on enjoying the experience and not spending hours of your free time planning.
Where takes your fancy for your next holiday?

๐ช๐บโจ Whenever I return to the UK, I always make sure to fit in a European city break along the way. City breaks are one thing I don't do as much as I used to when living in London. Why not break up your next flight back to the UK (which can be cheaper, too) with a quick stop on the continent?
Discover the charm of Bruges, the stunning fjords of Stavanger, the beautiful coastline of Split, the hygge vibes of Copenhagen, the vibrant streets of Cork, the colorful tiles of Lisbon, the otherworldly landscapes of Reykjavik, and the fairytale beauty of Prague. ๐ฐ๐๐
These cities offer a perfect blend of culture, history, and fabulous summer settings. Make your travel journey even more exciting with a European city break! โ๏ธโจ

What NOT to do when visiting Japan...
You're dreaming of visiting Japan. You probably have lots of questions about holidaying in this fascinating country. I've recently returned from a bucket-list trip, and ready to share with you my top tips!
DON'T
๐ฝ forget to have a translating app downloaded at the ready. The first time you'll need it? To understand the toilet flush upon landing!
๐ leave it too late to book your trip. ESPECIALLY if you want to see cherry blossom (Sakura). Japan is a not a last-minute destination. You need to book now for 2025.
๐งณ bring a lot of luggage. The bullet trains (Shinkansen) are very comfortable because they're not overcrowded. The maximum size suitcase you can bring is 160cm in total (width plus height plus depth)
๐ฅข stick to foods you know. The best dish I ate was in Hiroshima, called Okonomiyaki. A local delicacy and absolutely delicious!
๐ด tip. Tipping is not part of the culture in Japan. You will receive very strange looks if you try to tip!
DO
๐
take public transport everywhere, especially from the airport you land at into the city centre. The trains are very fast, efficient and well-priced.
๐จ use the luggage-forwarding services provided by hotels. No hassle of having to cart around heavy bags.
๐บ consider visiting outside of peak cherry blossom season. We went in February knowing it was too early for Sakura, but we did see plum blossom instead which was beautiful.
โฉ๏ธ find the hidden gems such as Mt Koya, the holiest Buddhist site in Japan with many temples you can sleep in overnight.
Have you been to Japan? Which top tips would you add to this list? Answer in the comments ๐๐ป

๐ In Tokyo, you can buy a 24, 48, or 72-hour metro ticket if youโre a tourist. Just bring your passport to Tokyo station and go downstairs to the metro station. There is a tourist desk in there where you can purchase the tourist metro cards. It's super easy and affordable!
๐งณ Use the luggage forwarding services that are available at your hotels. Carrying around a large suitcase on public transport and stairs will not be fun! Just bring your overnight backpack with you for 1 or 2 nights and meet your big luggage and your next city destination along the way.
๐ณ Have a travel money card pre-loaded, such as Starling, Mozio, or Revolut. Japan is much more of a cash economy than we're used to, so you'll need to access ATMs. Card payments are widely accepted, but cash is essential. EVERY 7/11 store has an ATM. Withdraw cash the airport ATM when you land.
๐ Download Google maps offline for the cities you are visiting. It's very accurate for navigating your way on the various modes of public transport.
๐ Take public transportation as much as possible. Itโs efficient, fast, and well-priced. Taxis are expensive and the roads are busy. I was amazed how quiet the Tokyo trains were in terms of noise level, despite being full of people. You'll love Japanese politeness!
