I just received this incredible photo from a client on her way to Tromso to join Ponant’s “Between the Scandinavian Peninsula and The High Arctic” sailing.

The smaller size ships on Ponant’s sailings make it possible to get to hard to reach destinations - giving you the chance to discover hidden spots and be up close and personal@with your natural surroundings.
If you are interested in taking a sailing onboard Ponant or any other ship, get in touch today.

SOLO TRAVELLERS - did you know I have some amazing Norway sailings with Hurtigruten that do not charge a single supplement? Why not take advantage of this and head to Norway.
FEE’s - I’m always transparent with the fees I charge for my professional service - I continually outline them in my email communication.
However , there are times when I feel defeated when I have to explain why I charge fees - but I always tell myself “I can cut my own hair, but I don’t, I’m happy to pay a professional to do that”.
Which is exactly what you are doing when you engage a travel agent.
This article from Travel Agent Achievers gives an in-depth insight into why we charge fees.
Unsure why Travel Agents charge service fees? Like any other professional service provider, this is how travel agents make a living. They have spent years learning and mastering their skills and when booking with a travel agent, you are receiving many advantages you won't get when booking online.

Don’t discount a trip in April. Spring is an ideal time to visit Hawaii - with an average high of 27degrees, fewer visitors and greater possibility of grabbing a deal.
Also, it’s much drier than the previous months, so you can finally hit the beach thinking about rain.
With events like the Merrie Monarch Festival, which celebrates the art of hula, and the Annual Waikiki Spam Jam, where Spam lovers from around the world gather to try unique Spam-filled dishes.
Additionally, April is the perfect time to spot whales and other marine life as they migrate to the islands for the breeding season.
SCHOOL HOLIDAYS are almost here. If you are looking for a quick trip away, full or memories, fun and something for everyone I have some last minute availability at Club Med Cherating Beach for the April School Holidays…. But be quick.

But to me it is the service from each and every staff member that will stick with me. 💗

No Regrets
“Live life with no excuses, travel with no regret” – Oscar Wilde
My passion and my specialty is helping travellers get the most of their experience but with minimal impact. I believe in responsible, sustainable, ethical tourism which benefits the people & the environment visited but ultimately provides you with a more authentic, more enjoyable and memorable holiday.
Travel is my life, and I love it. That’s why I’m here! There are so many reasons to travel, so many destinations and so many decisions. Traveling alone, with family, for wellness, sports, or just to be anywhere but home. All wonderful reasons, but let me help you make each and every journey a contender for the “what was the best moment of your life question”.
I have a wide range of knowledge and experience in the tourism industry. After completing a degree in Business with an emphasis in Hospitality and Tourism, I have spent over a decade working in related industries, including hotels, national tourism boards, retail & wholesale travel agencies. And, of course, I have done my fair share of travelling myself.
In the last few years I have been all over UK, North America, Asia, and our own gorgeous Australia. On my most recent trip, I took my family on holiday, touring England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. I also have a standing appointment every few years for a girls’ trip to New York.
On all of my travels, I like to seek accommodations, tours and attractions that are dedicated to treading lightly on our environment. I prioritize locally-run tours and community-based activities that support the economies, cultures and the environment of the host community. This is all part of my mission to journey with maximum benefit, maximum enjoyment, and maximum adventure with minimum impact.
I am proud to be backed by Travel Counsellors. We provide you with 100% financial protection and use state-of-the-art technology for your booking. My promise to you is that your booking is always personal and individual.
As your personal Travel Counsellor advisor, I’m available to discuss your next adventure at a time and place most convenient to you – we can even meet at your favourite coffee shop!
Whether it’s for business, pleasure, or doing good in the world, I look forward to hearing from you.
