Back in May, I attended a talk at the Arabian Travel Market hosted by TikTok’s travel manager, where we discussed how social media is becoming a top source for travel inspiration.

Platforms like TikTok and instagram with short, visually rich videos, make it easy to explore destinations—just like using a search engine 🌍📲.

But while it's great for ideas, it comes with that ‘high risk, high reward’ factor. That’s because not every glossy video tells the full story—what looks amazing online doesn’t always match the reality when you arrive (you know those Instagram vs. reality videos)?

That’s where a travel specialist is like the icing (or sprinkles!) on the cupcake 🧁. I take those inspiring ideas and add the expertise, refinement, and personal touches to design a seamless holiday that lives up to your expectations.

Start with inspiration, and I’ll make it a perfectly enjoyable experience ✈️✨

On Thursday, I’m off to Manchester for my first UK conference, and it’s a big one—it’s the 30th anniversary of Travel Counsellors, the UK’s longest-running travel franchise! 🎉

Over 2,000 delegates, amazing speakers, and some serious networking ahead... but can we talk about the weather forecast?! ❄️ Coming from Dubai, I’ve packed like I’m heading to the Arctic. 🧥

I’m especially excited to see which artists will be performing—it’s a special year, so I’m expecting big names! And, of course, this is a great chance to connect with suppliers I work with to create seamless, luxury holidays for my clients.

Although Travel Counsellors is a British company, it’s been in the UAE for over 10 years, and I’m proud to be part of the small but passionate UAE team heading over. 🌍🇦🇪

Have you been to a big conference before? Let me know your tips—and how to survive the cold please! 💬🥶

A little staycation highlight 🥢

We had the main restaurant booked for Saturday night, but when we found out himself was in town, we couldn’t resist heading next door to for the launch of Dubai

It was a fantastic evening of Nobu cocktails, canapés and chatting with other Nobu fans!

Chef Nobu was so kind, taking a moment to chat and ensuring our names were perfectly spelt when signing our Nobu cookbook. We even shared our love of fantastic sushi in Hiroshima! A truly special spontaneous night 🍣✨

Travel means so much that people are willing to give up everyday luxuries just to make it happen. Yet, the overwhelming amount of information out there often leads to disappointment rather than dream holidays. That’s where I come in.

No more endless ‘travel snacking’ across 38 websites or planning that leaves you feeling let down. I help you make confident choices for your destination, hotel, and airline, so your holiday lives up to its promise, and you get to enjoy the experience – without the stress.

How many websites do you research when planning your travels?

Nothing makes my day quite like getting photos and videos from a client’s dream trip! They stayed at a stunning luxury resort and saw elephants in Yala National Park—including a rare tusker, which only 5% of Sri Lankan elephants have. Such a special experience for them! 🐘🇱🇰

Every detail was taken care of, from smooth transfers to personal touches, so they could fully enjoy the adventure.

Thanks so much for sharing these moments with me, it’s amazing to see your journey come to life!

🌍 Today is Sustainability Day, and I’m thinking about the three pillars of sustainability; social, economic, and environmental. My ex-students can probably still hear me going on about them from my geography classroom days! Now, I bring that same passion to travel, helping families explore the world thoughtfully.

Just yesterday, I joined a sustainability hub where we discussed ways to guide clients toward responsible travel choices. One example is promoting Green Leaf accredited hotels—these hotels meet sustainability standards set by the , ensuring they contribute positively to their communities and environment.

Swipe through to see how small choices—like dining locally—can make a difference. Are you keen to travel in ways that respect destinations and communities? 💚

Ever thought about exploring Antarctica? 🇦🇶🌍❄️

In January 2026, Albatros Expeditions is offering the first Halal-friendly cruise to Antarctica, and it’s designed with Muslim travellers in mind. From fully Halal dining (no alcohol or pork) to ladies-only timings at the gym, sauna, and jacuzzi—every detail has been considered to make your experience comfortable and respectful.

Plus, the ship is small enough to land on the Antarctic shores, giving you a once-in-a-lifetime chance to step foot on the world’s most remote continent. Whether you're Muslim or non-Muslim, this journey is open to everyone looking for a unique adventure. 🌏✨

If you’re in the UAE and dreaming of an extraordinary trip, DM me for more details—I’d love to help you make this experience happen!

Thinking about the Maldives? 🇲🇻

For us in the UAE, it’s an easy, go-to destination with multiple flight routes available, making it super accessible.

But here’s the tricky part—figuring out the transfers from Male to your resort. Those hidden (and often pricey!) costs can add up quickly.

I recently worked with a client who wanted a seamless Maldives experience—two different room types over five days, a ‘dine-around’ all-inclusive package, plus coordinating a domestic flight and speedboat transfer. By working directly with the hotel, I made sure everything was spot on, so she could relax and enjoy her trip.

And since it was her birthday, I added a special touch—a beautifully decorated bed to make her day extra memorable. 🎂🎉

Planning a Maldives escape without the stress? Let’s chat! I’ll handle all the details, so you don’t have to.

"You can sit with us" 🤩 London and the New Forest, part 4 of my UK trip this summer 🇬🇧

Whenever I go back to London, I also see a show in the West End. There's nowhere else in the world like it. My pals and I opted for Mean Girls and weren't disappointed 🤪 a classic movie from our teens!

The New Forest is where mum lives now, and it's always fun to wander around and see the wildlife! 🐮🐴🌳

The UK has so much to offer as a holiday destination, especially in the summer. Organisation is key, though, particularly for booking tickets for the theatre, concerts, gigs, and trains.

If you're thinking of visiting the UK for a holiday, send me a DM for a seamless luxury travel experience 🇬🇧💂🏻‍♀️🏛

Still at the kids' table 🤭

Us 'Younger' (literally 😂) cousins had a fantastic time at my uncle's birthday reminiscing about the trouble we would get into with our grandparents when we were kids.

My heart is full after being back in Ireland and having long overdue catch ups with several family members ❤️🇮🇪

The weather in Dublin really spoilt us, too ☀️

Ireland remains one of my favourite countries in the world. The scenery is beautiful, the people are so friendly and of course the lively music gets everyone dancing!

It's the perfect destination for either a festive winter or an activity based summer holiday.

Let's chat if you'd love to visit Ireland. It's like my second home!

⛰️ Sheffield and the Peak District 🐑

I've spent Part 2 of my UK trip in Sheffield and the Peak District.

I've been lucky to spend time in both the Lake District and the Peak District, which are both beautiful and very different from each other. The Peaks are brilliant for walking and seeing gorgeous views from all angles!

It was a bit chilly but good weather for a hilltop walk near the village of Bamford, followed by a cosy cream tea in Hope.

Back in Sheffield, we spent quality time with Tom's family, fulfilling aunty and uncle duties ❤️

If you're keen to visit the British countryside alongside a city break, Sheffield and the Peak District is the perfect option. Sheffield is a fantastic city with a rich history and some fantastic pubs!

Send me a DM if you need help organising your trip to the UK countryside or for a city break 🇬🇧
