Nothing beats these views 😍😍 Is a Canadian adventure on your 2025 bucket list?

Whatever your style is, Canada has it all. Which season calls to you?
Not sure what to do with your tax return this year? Ha, I sure do. Travel is a worthy cause… it teaches you life long lessons, introduces you to new experiences, pushes you out of your comfort zone, enables you to meet new people… I could go on and on about why it’s a valuable investment…

I recommend travelling to Spain in September-November, as the weather is still beautiful but starting to cool down with fewer crowds around. Compared to June-August, considerably the most popular time to visit and when the weather is still blazing hot.
Life is short, the world is wide, go make some memories with your family in SPAIN…. And why not do it in style?
Hop your way through the Greek Islands 🇬🇷
Picture deep blue waters, silky sand beaches, the warmth of the blazing hot sun on your skin, iconic white and blue architecture, vibrant nightlife, street markets and eating the freshest produce … how can you say no?
The best time to travel Greece is during the ‘shoulder seasons’ meaning from April- mid June or from September-October. During this season the weather is warm but not unbearable, and there are less tourists meaning you can enjoy your time without having to avoid the crowds.
I recommend making sure you spend at least 3 nights on each island to truly immerse yourself in the culture and get the most out of your experience. This will also allow for down time to relax… hopping around can be tiring!
The best island group to visit is the Cyclades, which include Mykonos, Paros, Santorini and Ios.
If you’re embarking on your hot girl Euro summer this year and hopping around Greece’s islands here are some of my hot travel tips:
🇬🇷 Get around the islands using ferries. Travel time ranges from 45 minutes to 2 hours. Use the ferries in Greece tracker. It’s a live ferry that’s updated before the port, visit https://i.mtr.cool/hihojqytjf
🇬🇷 Taxis are hard to get. I recommend booking transfers to the port/airports
🇬🇷 Driving is a great option to make your way around Greece. Bonus: if you have a Aussie driver’s license you don’t need an international license to drive in Greece!
While Greek Island hopping requires a bit of moving around, it’s totally worth it and if you want someone to do all the organising, you know where to find me ☺️
Don’t forget to tag me in all your Greek Island adventures this summer!

Let's debunk the biggest travel agent myth!
Many people think using a travel agent will drain your wallet faster than you can pack your suitcase.
The truth?
