Belize - what do you know about it? 🇧🇿

For those of you with a passion for nature and wildlife, an interest in culture and history and enjoy uncovering community tourism initiatives, Belize is a great place to visit. From lush rainforests and a real diversity of wildlife to stunning beaches, Mayan ruins and Creole culture, this tiny Central American country has it all. Visitors who have previously enjoyed Costa Rica would enjoy the many similarities here.

My in-laws have lived in Belize for 20 years and I've visited myself - I thoroughly enjoyed some of the unique experiences on offer from guided tours to delicious cuisine and even a private night tour of Belize Zoo! Here are some of the many events taking place in Belize this spring and summer:

🔷 Belikin La Ruta Maya Belize River Challenge - a thrilling multi-day canoe race covering 170 miles along the scenic Belize River in March
🔷 May's Chocolate Festival in Punta Gorda features chocolate tastings, demonstrations and much more in this southern Toledo district, brimming with traditional villages and Maya mountains
🔷 Mango Street Fest in June - expect to experience drumming and a whole host of mango-based treats and games in Hopkins village
🔷 Lobster festivals in Placencia, Caye Caulker and San Pedro kick off lobster season with plenty of beachside fun, delicious cuisine and lively music
🔷 Semana Santa in April - head to Benque Viejo del Carmen in the Cayo district for the holy celebrations preceding Easter

A holiday in Belize for me has real Robinson Crusoe vibes. It twins brilliantly with other destinations in central America, as well as Houston, Atlanta and Miami. Contact me any time to plan your trip to Belize and I'll ensure you have an unforgettable, sustainable experience.

🇨🇾 Cyprus - just booked 🇨🇾

Constantinou Bros Athena Beach Hotel in Paphos is one of my clients' favourite hotels in Cyprus - and little wonder! This much-loved beachfront property has something for everyone. With an excellent gym, spa and heated pool, it's an excellent choice for a winter sun break away as well as during the warmer months. Families are well looked after here too with spacious interconnecting family rooms, slides and a splash area. It's a great choice for multigenerational family trips!

Elite Class visitors also benefit from a whole host of extras from an exclusive VIP check in and turn down service in selected room types, and fruit and wine on arrival. More than any of these aspects, the highlight for me here is the excellent level of customer care and attention to detail. Want to be looked after? This may just be the hotel for you!

🍾 £1 million 🍾

Well, this was an incredible way to end the week (when I wasn’t at kids’ parties or Pokemania)!

Yesterday’s bookings meant that you, as my loyal clients, have trusted me with over £1 million worth of bookings since my business began as a Travel Counsellor. Two years, four months and one week of blood, sweat and tears. I’ve had some incredible highs (and some rubbish lows personally too) and I wouldn’t change it for the world.

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported me and my business, whether that’s by making bookings, sharing my posts, recommending me to your family and friends, commenting on my content or sending me a message. It means the absolute world and I am thrilled to be pursuing my passion every single day. I take real pride in crafting a trip that is right for you, not something off the shelf. Every new enquiry or booking I look after still gives me a huge smile on my face - long may it continue!

Now it’s business as usual and I’m busy working away on loads of your travel plans; from groups of friends enjoying a summer holiday with the kids to big birthday celebrations and couples trips. Remember (as a wise friend recently said) - online is for looking, your travel agent is for booking 👌☺️

What challenge shall I set myself next?!
