Designing holidays and making dreams come true! All holidays can be quoted for and paid in USD, AED, Let’s face it…we all live for our holidays.
(17)

Whether it’s a long weekend away or a trip of a lifetime, it’s these experiences that allow us to explore new parts of the globe, regroup, de-stress or spend quality time with friends and family. I am so happy to be able to facilitate these experiences through Travel Counsellors. Travel has been one of my passions since I was a young girl. I was fortunate enough to live around the world, which has

allowed me to travel extensively. Before I went to university, I took a year off to travel Europe and Australia and have spent my annual leave at work exploring new destinations across the globe. I love discovering new places and sharing my experiences with family and friends. It’s this passion that has inspired me to leave my marketing career behind and dedicate my time to creating bespoke, personalized trips for my clients. I want you to discover the joy of traveling and create ever-lasting memories with your loved ones, whether it be watching the sunrise from a hot air balloon, diving amongst the coral reefs or discovering the unique local tastes, sounds and characters as you wander through the streets. Let me free up your time and take the stress and hassle out of researching your getaway. I promise to find your dream holiday, within your budget. Having a great holiday means coming back to a clean and safe environment, not having to worry about dodgy transfers or being ripped off at local tourist attractions. As an independent agent, I can offer impartial views and a flexible approach to booking every aspect your holiday. I have award winning technology at my fingertips, that accesses a wealth of airlines, hotels, and tour operators I can mix and match to tailor make your getaway. My attention to detail, industry knowledge and genuine advice will save you time and effort, whilst delivering results based on your individual requirements. All my bookings are 100% financially protected through Travel Counsellors Financial Trust and ATOL. What are you waiting for? Get in touch now so we can start to plan your next adventure!

Winter is coming—but that means adventure is on the horizon. Since 1896, HX have been taking curious travellers to the most remote, inspiring, and unique places in the world, and their winter expeditions offer the perfect once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see the planet like never before.

Highlights of Antarctica - 30th October 2025

Imagine waking up to the serene beauty of Antarctica, where colossal glaciers and floating icebergs create a dreamlike landscape outside your window. HX’s 'Highlights of Antarctica' expedition is an immersive 12-day adventure aboard the MS Nansen, with an overnight stay in the vibrant city of Buenos Aires before setting sail.
You’ll spend five days exploring the must-see sights of Antarctica, which includes spotting local wildlife such as seals lounging on ice floes, penguin colonies waddling across the snow, and majestic whales breaching the icy waters around you. Alongside the Expedition Team, you’ll get close to towering icebergs and join onboard lectures to deepen your understanding of this pristine environment and how we can all protect it.

Red, brown, grey, black, and white – lemurs come in many different colours and species. Some jump, some dance, some cry, so you are guaranteed an entertaining watch when you see them in the wild. All are endemic to Madagascar, and we have various lodges sited near national parks, although a 5-star standard can be harder to find here. As an alternative, take to a private island – Miavana has a resident population of crowned lemur (relocated there for their protection), while Constance Tsarabanjina offers visits to nearby Nosy Komba, known as the lemur island.

It’s now easier than ever to twin-centre with one of their renowned Seychelles resorts, as Emirates has launched an extension of its existing route to the archipelago, taking you onwards to Madagascar. The flight, via the airline’s Dubai hub, runs four times a week from September.

03/11/2024

Queensland boasts some of the most ancient and diverse rainforests in the world. The Daintree Rainforest, for example, is a living museum of flora and fauna, some of which can be traced back to the time of the dinosaurs. Hiking trails, guided tours, and canopy walks offer unique perspectives of these lush environments. National parks such as Lamington and Springbrook provide stunning landscapes and numerous outdoor activities.

02/11/2024

Switzerland is another outdoor playground and one with some of Europe’s best skiing. Among the best spots are the resorts of the Bernese Oberland, including Interlaken between the lakes of Thun and Brienz – a brilliant base for exploring snowcapped mountains, lakes, and waterfalls, with a vast array of winter sports – and Grindelwald.

Alternatively, the Valais region in the south-west is home to the ski resorts Saas-Fee and Zermatt, as well as the craggy Matterhorn with its excellent snowboarding. Another spot is the Graubünden region in the south-east, with the luxury resort of St. Moritz and Weisse Arena, which brings together Flims, Laax, and Falera.

01/11/2024

Life's too short for ordinary holidays. With all-inclusive escapes, the only thing you'll need to worry about is which cocktail to try next.

Whether you’re craving the sun-kissed shores and Mediterranean charm of Greece or the idyllic beaches and tropical luxury of the Maldives, I'll find the perfect all-inclusive package and unlock a world of adventure, relaxation, and gourmet delights.

Tanzania and Rwanda make a great pairing. You can see the Big Five in the Serengeti, or the annual Great Wildlife Migration, where millions of wildebeest move across the plains.

Stay at Elewana Serengeti Pioneer Camp for game drives, picnics in the bush, sundowners, and dining around the campfire.

In Rwanda, stay at Sabyinyo in the foothills of the Virunga Massif, where the focus is on conservation. Expect a community-inspired lodge, organic gardens, and the chance to hike into Volcanoes National Park.

28/10/2024

One of the best things about late November and December is getting into the festive spirit, and I can’t think of a better way to embrace the season than shopping for unique Christmas gifts on a European city break, somewhere with a fabulous festive market. I’ve chosen my must-visit Europe Christmas markets for 2024, with some continuing into early January if you want to keep the festive feels going.

Berlin, November 25th to December 30th 2024

Normally on the Gendarmenmarkt, but held on Bebelplatz this year between the Berlin State Opera and St. Hedwig's Cathedral, WeihnachtsZauber is my favourite among Berlin’s Christmas markets.

Kraków, November 29th 2024 to January 1st 2025

This southern Polish city oozes character all year round, with its well-preserved medieval core and Jewish Quarter to explore. But it’s especially charming at this time of year when its main square, Rynek Główny, is taken over by market stalls, street performances, folklore shows, and live regional music.

Prague, November 30th 2024 to January 6th 2025

Of all the Czech capital’s Christmas markets, the one in the Old Town Square stands out for its spectacular cathedral views. As well as snapping up local crafts, you can feast on national specialties such as roast pork, gingerbread, hot mead, and Trdelník (a kind of cake wrapped around a stick, topped with sugar and walnuts) while listening to carols and other live music.

Vienna, November 11th to December 26th 2024

The Austrian capital has several Christmas markets, the best of which is the traditional ‘Vienna Magic of Advent’ event in City Hall Square, accessed via a candlelit archway. Here, you will also find the city’s best rink, Vienna Ice World, with its trail through the gorgeously illuminated City Hall Park.

Edinburgh, November 17th 2024 to January 5th 2025

One of the most popular markets in Europe sees Princes Street Gardens transformed into a wonderland with the Big Wheel with city views, the magical 'Santa Train', classic funfair rides such as a helter-skelter, and enticing stalls.

26/10/2024

The Whitsunday Islands are a group of 74 tropical islands located in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef. Known for their white sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters, they offer a perfect getaway for relaxation and adventure. K’gari (formerly known as Fraser Island), the largest sand island in the world, is a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its unique landscapes. Explore the island's freshwater lakes, lush rainforests, and towering sand dunes. Four-wheel-drive tours are a popular way to see the island's many attractions, including the famous Maheno Shipwreck and the stunning Lake McKenzie.

23/10/2024

Sun, sand, and adventure! Start with the vibrant energy of Miami’s beaches and nightlife, then cruise down to Key West for endless ocean views and iconic sunsets. Dive into the tropical waters of Key Largo, known for its amazing marine life, and unwind in the serene charm of Naples with its stunning beaches and chic vibes.

An opportunity to observe wildlife such as penguins, seals, and whales is one of the highlights of Antarctic Expeditions.

Additionally, these cruises allow guests to gain insights into the vital scientific research and conservation work being carried out in this unique and fragile environment.

I recently met with Swan Hellenic and I was so impressed. Expedition cruising is firmly on my bucket list and it should be on yours too. Expedition cruising allows you to explore some of the world’s most remote and inaccessible corners, coming face to face with phenomenal natural wonders that most people will only ever see on a screen. You can experience some of the planet’s most scientifically or culturally significant destinations without sacrificing comfort or service. The limited number of guests on board allows the ship to get closer to nature without causing harm to the fragile ecosystems that we operate in. The small numbers also promote camaraderie amongst guests, with many new lifelong friendships blossoming whilst discussing the day’s action over an evening drink. If you are keen to start exploring expedition cruising, please send me a DM and we can discuss which ship would be best for you. #travelinspiration #travelinspo #cruise #cruising #expeditioncruising #cruiselife #swanhellenic #swanhellenicexpeditioncruises #expeditioncruise #arctic
