Add a relaxing stay at Club Med Cefalu on top of our 13-day tour through Calabria and Sicily in 2025 for that grand Italian holiday. 😌

All-inclusive luxury in the serene seaside town after 13 days of exploring Southern Italy’s hidden gems? The PERFECT combination.

Unwind and enjoy the simple joys of coastal living, or take leisurely strolls to nearby attractions.

Discounted rates are still available and I can set you up for the ultimate relaxing holiday in Italy. 🇮🇹

We’ll take you to places only locals know about. 🤫 With me, your expert travel agent and Angelo, and Italian local by your side, you’ll experience Calabria and Sicily in the best way possible.

Slow down and be immersed in la dolce vita! Start your day with an espresso and grab a freshly made panini from the corner store before strolling the beautiful streets and visiting secret caves…

Our small group tour invites you to see this lesser-known side of Italy.

Away from the crowds but filled with so much charm, this is Italy like you’ve never experienced it before. 😌

All-inclusive luxury with discounts, still up for grabs!

Enjoy ski season in Tomamu Japan with Club Med and delight in delicious local treats such as yakiniku paired with Hokkaido’s Sapporo Beer or Japanese whisky to warm you up from inside. ⛷️

I still have access to ClubMed’s remaining sales so this is your chance to get locked in. Up to December 6 only!

Do you want a gorgeous beach all to yourself? 😎

This is me somewhere in Southern Italy when Angelo and I went with our family earlier this year. And this is just ONE of the many beaches we went to where no one else was in sight!

We invite you to come join us explore a place where the "80%" don’t go. 🤫 With so many people going to the same touristy places, we find that sometimes, taking a step back and discovering hidden gems is a unique travel pleasure of its own. 🇮🇹

With Angelo and I by your side, you’ll experience Southern Italy like a local, and experience off-the-beaten-path destinations you won’t forget.

Comment “Italy” and I’ll chat you with more information about this bespoke tour!

⭐️ Discounted rates for priceless family memories—sounds like the best deal to me!

I still have access to ClubMed’s ski packages in Japan and with ski season just a couple of months away, this might be your last chance to grab this deal. 🇯🇵

From multiple dining options, reserved tables, and priority room locations, the avenues for fun and relaxation are endless in ClubMed’s winter wonderlands in Japan. ⛷️ 🍜 🗻

Whether you’re a beginner or if your kids are going skiing for the first time, rest assured that this all-inclusive package covers professional ski attention while you’re having fun on the slopes!

One of the ways to be sustainable while travelling is by supporting community tourism initiatives. These initiatives often have their own communities that they support—businesses, families, and resources that are better taken care of when you sign up for that weaving class or choose a local guide.

This is one of the things I really loved about out experience with Intrepid Travel in Vietnam. Our local guide Ahn and the family who hosted us as we learned some of the local crafts that supported their livelihood gave us unforgettable travel moments we wouldn’t have otherwise had. It was a wonderful way to be immersed into Vietnam’s culture and have a bigger appreciation for things we have in our lives.

What’s your way of being sustainable while travelling? From little actions to grander ones, we can make a difference! I’d love to hear it in the comments. 😉

Suddenly excited about this prize I won from the recent ATAC event and it got me thinking… Now’s the best time to plan YOUR Africa safari too!

Given how huge it is and with many spots to go to, there are varying months noted on when to best go. Considering your cruises, family events, and everything else, I can smooth out all the details for you so that all that’s left for you to do is pick your safari outfits and enjoy the game drives. 😎

I am hosting another Scenic River Cruise in 2026—this time, in Douro, Portugal! We had so much fun in our Jewels of Europe cruise earlier this year (DM me so I can send you the YouTube video 👀) and this one is sure to be as AMAZING!

Join me as we discover Porto’s delicious local produce, the intricate traditional Portuguese tile murals, and other hidden treasures of the Douro Valley. We’ll also be visiting a prehistoric rock art site—how cool is that?!

Comment “Douro” so I can send you more information. I would so love to have you join me. It’s going to be absolutely amazing. 😌

Did you know that with Club Med multi-generational tours, you get group tour perks like reserved tables for dinner and priority room locations? They really mean it when they say all-inclusive luxury 😎

I love travelling with my family and this kind of pre-arranged inclusion definitely makes it easier for the 7 of us. Quality time with ClubMed? Definitely. ✨

Their last-minute sales are still ongoing and I would love to lock you and your family in. These awesome deals are in demand so let’s save you your spot!

Early planning = MUCH BETTER options!

I know 2026 and 2027 sound a bit far ahead, but booking now ensures you get the best choice of destinations, accommodations, and activities before they're all booked. This is especially true for group tours where spots fill up so quickly and certain cruise ships have less than 100 guests aboard—that's only 10 groups of 10!

If you and your family/group of friends decide now, we can get you the best rates, rooms (with gorgeous views) and even excursion tickets at lower rates than when you book closer to the travel dates. No one's left behind.

HollyDay Travel makes planning your bucket-list trip fun, easy, and exciting! Just DM me or comment "2026" and we can start planning.

In the interim, here's a snap of my lovely group in our Scenic Jewels of Europe cruise. 😎

Tropical fruits are just way better in… you guessed it. Tropical countries! 😆 These ones in Sri Lanka are NEXT LEVEL! Sweet, juicy, and packed with sunshine – sipping on this fruit shake is like a holiday in a glass. Wow, this suddenly made me miss it so much.

Honestly, once you’ve tasted fruit in the tropics, the stuff we have off the produce section here feels like it needs a personality transplant! Who’s with me? 🤭

If you want to go to two amazing island nations in one holiday, I’ve got just the thing. Come with me to Sri Lanka in 2025 and we can add on a Club Med Maldives escape for you! With their last-minute sales still ongoing, now’s the time to make the most out of your holidays and holiday budget. The overhead villas are just stunning—and of course, they have an array of fresh ✨ tropical fruits ✨ on the menu too.

Comment “tropical” so I can tell you more about this killer combination for your next holiday.

See swordfish caught as it has been for centuries—and savour it fresh that night!

This iconic swordfish is a proud symbol of Bagnara—Angelo’s hometown in Calabria. Known for its rich fishing heritage and crystal-clear waters, we cannot wait to show you secret spots, caves by the beach, and our favourite restaurants… away from the crowds and filled with so much of that Italian charm and warmth.

‼️ Two more lovely clients booked and places are filling FAST! So grab your friends for this special trip with me and Ange through Calabria and Sicily—A Journey Through Hidden Beauty.

Did you know that Cherating in Malaysia is home to Asia’s first Med? 😱 It was established in 1979 and to this day offers luxurious seaside accommodations to travellers from all over the world.

What I really love (apart from its gorgeous seaside location) is the eco-discovery activities. You might have seen my photos in Sri Lanka where we visited a turtle sanctuary and you have this chance too at Club Med Cherating Beach!

This is a wonderful activity to experience with the kids—the twins especially had fun when we experienced releasing baby turtles in Sri Lanka, and you and your family can experience this moment too. 🥹

Hurry though, because Club Med’s last-minute sales are almost over and with 5 nights starting at only $1,225 per person, this is a deal you wouldn’t want to let go. 😎

Have you ever made a mistake while booking your own flights that caused major stress or delays? You’re not alone! Here are some common mistakes to be mindful of:

1️⃣ Misspelt Names: Even the tiniest typo in your name can ruin your plans. Your ticket needs to match your ID exactly, or you might not even make it past check-in. 🙈

2️⃣ Wrong Dates: Accidentally selecting the wrong travel dates can throw your itinerary into chaos. Double-check those time zones! (This also applies to booking on-site tickets for museums etc.)

3️⃣ Wrong Airport: Many cities have multiple airports. Picking the wrong one can mean missed flights or long, unexpected commutes. ✈️

4️⃣ Passport validity: Forgetting to check the validity of your passport could mean a denied boarding experience. Some destinations require months of validity left (some 3, some 6), so make sure to check.

5️⃣ Short or Long Layovers: Layovers that are too short can leave you running to catch the next flight, while overly long ones waste your precious time. ⏳ If you need layover tips though, you can send me a message for ideas!

6️⃣ Missing Visa Requirements: Not checking visa needs for your destination—or even transit countries—can stop your trip before it starts. 🧐 Have it printed out and in digital copies just to be safe.

7️⃣ Skipping Seat Selection: You could end up in the dreaded middle seat or far from your travel companions. Don’t leave this to chance! 💺

Travel doesn’t have to be stressful, and this is where I come in. My team and I will ensure none of these details are overlooked so that all you have to do is show up and enjoy your holiday. 😎

Make 2025 Your Year of Meaningful Travel 🗺️

When you visit Rome during the Jubilee Year, you're not just travelling—you’re stepping into centuries of history, culture, and tradition. From walking through the Holy Doors at St. Peter’s Basilica to attending special blessings and pilgrimages, the Jubilee offers experiences that enrich your soul and connect you to something far greater than the everyday. These are just some of the events throughout the holy year! 🇮🇹

Travel isn’t just about seeing new places; it’s about creating memories that stay with you forever. The Jubilee in Rome is filled with unique events that let you experience the city like never before. But these are just the beginning—imagine pairing this once-in-a-lifetime event with a European adventure during the best times of the year. Think spring in Paris, summer in Santorini, or Christmas in Austria! NOW is a great time for us to plan ahead. Save this post so you have easy access to the little reference calendars I've made for your future travels. 😉

I believe travel is about more than just ticking places off a list though, and there's definitely so much more to see than just these places I've mentioned! 🤍 Travel is about immersing yourself in the beauty of the world and coming home with stories you’ll cherish forever—especially with the ones we love. 🥰

If you’re ready to turn your 2025 holiday into something meaningful, comment “Jubilee” below, and I’ll send you all the details you need to plan this unforgettable experience. 🌟
