What a incredible few days we have had in beautiful Seville- definately now one of my favourite cities on Earth🇪🇸 😍💃 🌞 So many highlights but loved the amazing and massive number of cosy Tapas Bars , the stunning food, beautiful architecture, the flamenco ,the gorgeous cathedral, Plaza de Espana and the ancient Arab baths which were soo relaxing and atmospheric . And the 2 euro glasses of Rioja were a huge bonus too.🍷😆 We have had the best family time😍❤️ None stop laughing and so many amazing memories made. Can't wait for our next adventure x

Today I celebrate 6 years to the day since I launched my own travel business with Travel Counsellors full of excitement and a lot of nerves .Every anniversay feels like a huge milestone for me but this one feels extra special as I have just found out I am one of 33 businesses globally to have reached instant Gold status on day 1 of our new year 🥳🥳🥳😍
This puts me as one of the top businesses in the company and something I never expected to ever be able to achieve so absolutely over the moon.😍 🥂

This year really has been a complete whirlwind and so grateful for all the opportunities it has given me and my family. It's been another amazing year of fabulous travels and my first gold trip to South Africa which was one of the best adventures of my life. 🦁🐆🦒❤️

My work in the music industry has sky rocketed this year and I am so grateful to have the massive privilege of looking after the travel for such amazing music legends, brilliant bands and their fantastic teams and crew. Managing tours across the world and ensuring everything runs smooth definately comes with its challenges ( lots of late nights and a few more grey hairs ) but I wouldn't change what I do for the world 🥰

I am really so thankful to be able to do what I love everyday and will be forever grateful to all the support around me that allows me to run my business. My wonderful ,loyal customers . To my team who are the best support as well as great friends , my Travel Counsellors head office and of course my family and friends who keep me going every single day(especially my boys who are with me every day through the highs and lows with endless hugs and plenty of tea/wine😍 )🥰 ❤️

Looking forward to celebrating this this evening and look forward to what another year ahead will bring 🥰❤️ 🥳🎶

Wishing the week here would slow down a bit. We are having the best time and it's so great to be back in Molyvos. Without a doubt one of the most beautiful places on earth, we absolutely love it here 🌎 ❤️🇬🇷 Gorgeous sunsets , so many stunning tavernas , cuddles with donkeys , catching up with lovely friends from home, watching England win and plenty of well needed relax time 😍 ❤️

We absolutely loved our final day in Kotor. Definately a more adventurous day as we set out on a hike up the mountain in search of a secret cheese pub we had heard about 🤣 It was wayyy more strenuous than we expected and took us a good few hours to get to the top but the prize at the end was worth it 😍. The most warm welcome from the Raki man who makes his own cheese from his goats and cows (which was the best ) and the most well earned beers we had ever had . The views were incredible and we laughed so much along the way. Going down after the homemade raki was an experience 😅 Followed by a lovely last evening in the beautiful old town. We have had the most incredible time here in Montenegro and would reccomend to all . Time for home now but leaving with very special memories 😍

01/05/2024

What an amazing day we had in beautiful Montenegro 😍.We went out on a lovely boat from Kotor to the town of Perast and visited the Lady of the Rocks which is just stunning . And the highlight of the day was discovering the most incredible bar in the sea with its own underwater wine cellar. The most perfect setting and being taken over by boat was brilliant.Such great fun, gorgeous wine, amazing company and fantastic weather 🌞. A day we will never forget 😍

29/04/2024

The loveliest Monday afternoon we have had in Kotor, Montenegro 🇲🇪 We absolutely love our apartment which is right on the old town walls with a gorgeous terrace overlooking the sea and the mountains . Perfect for people watching and taking in the amazing atmosphere. The beer is great , the sun is shining and we are all blown away with what a beautiful place this is 😍

Thank you to Emirates for a lovely invite today to tour their beautiful A380 plane before it hit the skies back to Dubai. A stunning aircraft in all cabins , love the onboard bar in business class and their First Class Cabin is just out of this world 😍. Was pretty gutted I had to get off but the yummy fillet steak in their fantastic lounge definately softened the blow😆😋 . So impressed and can't wait to fly with them myself one day 💗

Happy Friday all. What a week since we landed back. It's been the busiest travel booking week I have had in a very long time 😍 But I wanted to post about the final little leg of our journey we had in Atlanta , Georgia, a perfect little stopover on route back from Costa Rica 🇺🇸 😍

We love exploring new USA cities and this one was a real treat. They say Atlanta is the big city with a small town heart and that is so true.One of the friendliest cities I had every visited .❤️

We stayed in downtown Atlanta at the Twelve Hotel which was a great spot for getting to some of Atlantas biggest attractions including the Georgia Aquarium which is the biggest in USA.
However, the main attraction for us was definitely the World Of Coca Cola which when walking into the 20 acre site feels like you are stepping into W***y Wonkas chocolate factory. The build up to the curtains coming up and stepping in was so exciting and you got to sample the new flavours coming out and the highlight was the testing room with over 100 coca cola drinks from across the world . We all absolutely loved this and trying all the weird and wonderful flavours ( except the sour plum from China which tasted just like mcdonalds Bbq Sauce 🤢)

We explored the city on foot and by scooter which was great fun as there is so many green areas and stunning parks . We were there during the annual Dogfood festival in Piedmont park and enjoyed sitting in the sun , taking in the great chilled atmosphere and listening to local musicians with a few cold beers.
We also loved Ponce City market , an area filled with great food stalls , bars and very unique shops 😍
One of the huge highlights though was having lunch at one of Atlantas food institutions - Fat Matts Rib Shack . One of the coolest little places to eat with live blues on every night. No frills, so authentic and the best slab of ribs you ever did taste (no rib pics sadly as they were devoured too quickly 😆)

Unfortunately our little guy got sick on the last night (sour plum coca cola maybe 🤔) so our adventures were cut a little short but we had had the loveliest time and our Atlanta exploring had been great fun at the end of a wonderful holiday - would highly reccomend this city 🇺🇸(and special thanks to the tourist board for looking after us and to Atlanta airport and Virgin for being so amazing and making the journey home so smooth with a poorly boy in tow 🥰)

Roll on the next adventures. Have a great weekend everyone x

Discover Atlanta ❤️

Our Costa Rican journey has finally come to an end . This country is pure paradise and we have had the most amazing time. We have spent the last few days chilling in this gorgeous town with one of my now favourite beaches of all time. We loved sailing down the estuary and mangroves and even bumped into a couple of scary looking crocodiles 🐊 🥰 Noah has been none stop in the sea with all the surfers on his body board , we have loved our daily sunset drinks in the most chilled beach bars , great food , stunning scenery , little monkeys outside our apartment and the loveliest people ❤️ 🇨🇷 A holiday of a lifetime we will never forget. 🥰....Now time for an extra little adventure before heading home with a few days of BBQ, music and exploring Atlanta, Georgia ✈️ 🇺🇸 😍

Costa Rica Beach life🇨🇷 🌞 We left the beautiful rainforest and hit the road again heading for the Pacific coast and the little surf town of Tamarindo 🏄‍♂️ We haven't been here long but we have fallen in love with this incredible beach and the most stunning sunsets ❤️🥰 Such a colorful town with so much life, lots of surfing action, lots of cute dogs having fun on the beach, great beach bars and restaurants and our air bnb seconds from the beach is a perfect little spot to unwind for a few days .Absolutely love this country 🇨🇷 😍

Well it's been a jam packed few days here in beautiful Costa Rica. We had an amazing rest of our time in La Fortuna. The hotel was so beautiful with the fastest water slide ever built into the grounds which Noah went on about a thousand times 🥰 And we couldn't get tired of waking up to the stunning views of the volcano.⛰️
We ate in some incredible local soda restaurants as they call them here , enjoying the local food, cold beers and gorgeous smiley service 😍
But the highlight of our time here was doing the biggest zipline in Costa Rica 🇨🇷 With my fear of heights I have never in my life been so terrified but once we were off the adrenaline of flying over the rainforest at a crazy speed was incredible and we all loved the experience . Im sure my screaming could be heard throughout the whole of Costa Rica 😆
From La Fortuna we have moved further into the country on our road trip seeing more of the gorgeous countryside . We are now staying in a beautiful place called the Rio Celeste Hideaway in our own little house on stilts in the middle of the rainforest . Sitting on the balcony with the sound of Howler Monkeys and seeing all the Costa Rica wildlife is just brilliant especially the little colorful frogs that I have grown to love 🌴❤️ 😍
We also have our own private access to the famous Rio Celeste river which is one of the bluest in the world. It has blown us away how beautiful this place is and we love being on the doorstep of the Tenorio National park where we had a 3 hour trek this morning and found the most gorgeous waterfall . Absolutely love it here and getting very into the jungle life but almost time to move on and hit the coast. An experience none of us will ever forget 🥰

03/04/2024

Last night we went on our first night hike through the jungle .The noises of the wildlife were something else 🐸 🎶 , I got w**d on by a monkey 😆🐒 , freaked out at the amount of creatures landing on us but it was the most incredible, stunning experience and one we will never forget ❤️ Our guide was insanely knowledgeable and taught us so much about the beautiful rainforest wildlife of Costa Rica. The glass frog which is so translucent you can see its organs blew my mind. Loved every minute (even the scary spiders 😬) x

Costa Rica 🇨🇷😍. What an amazing first few days we have had and definately one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen . We arrived after a long journey into San Jose to a gorgeous red sunset and the warmest welcome in our little guest house in Allajuela a little town outside the city. It was only meant to be a place to lay our head after the long journey but we had the most beautiful 2 days here.Stunning and rustic with incredible Costa Rican food , awesome beer, the best fruit juice ever according to Noah ,lovely pool in the sun with exotic birds and butterflies everywhere . Noah made a Costa Rica buddy and they had a ball together despite the language gap 😍We were sad to leave but time to hit the road for the next part of our adventure. 🌎
We drove 3 hours into the countryside towards the rainforest and checked into our lovely hotel at the Base of the Arenal volcano in La Fortuna with hot springs everywhere and great cocktails🍹.The views are just breathtaking . We arrived yesterday and had lunch with some unexpected iguana guests which Noah loved 🦎 and hit up the local town last night which was brilliant 🍺 This morning we had a beautiful morning trek through Mistico park walking the hanging bridges and saw some cool creatures (no tarantulas yet though thank God 😀) We have lots planned in this little town and can't wait to explore more here and on the rest of our journey through this gorgeous country 😍😀

Nearly 30 years after The Simpsons joked about Cypress Hill accidentally booking the London Symphony Orchestra while high, the hip-hop group is making the collaboration a reality at the Royal Albert Hall on the 10th July. This is going to be one incredible show 😍😎

So very excited and proud to work with the team behind this amazing venture ✈️ 🌎 😍
