Six years with Travel Counsellors! Running my own travel business has been an incredible journey. Today, I reflect on where I started and where I am now. I'm in a much better space than at any time in my career in travel. There have been moments where I questioned my choices, but I take them as lessons for self-improvement.

I owe a huge thank you to my family, friends, the fantastic team at our Manchester head office, our CEO who steered us through the toughest of conditions during the pandemic, and our fantastic suppliers across the globe. Last but not least, thank you to my customers. Without your support, I wouldn't be where I am today with this business.

The song "Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)" by Buz Luhrmann has several lines that resonate with me strongly. Doing the one thing every day that scares me probably resonates with me the most. Have a listen to it when you have a chance, it's worth it.

I won't state the obvious of feel free to get in touch with me for your next adventure (oh wait, I just did). Instead, I want to re-emphasize my gratitude and wish you all a great week ahead.

Cheers,
Dan

For some of us, the winter snow that accompanies December spells skiing in the Alps. But an option further afield might be what the avid skier who is looking for something different, Japan has some great slopes and is well worth the trip if anything to get the cultural side of things in as well. A country in general that is not to be missed. Costa Rica provides some great winter sun while Germany with its many Christmas markets provides a great option for those looking for something more short haul.

With the temperatures dropping in November, long haul travel starts to become more popular. Florida enjoys year round warm weather and, in true American style, has no shortage of entertainment for tourists. Nepal with the beautiful Himalayas as a backdrop is somewhere that a lot of people always dream about going to but never actually do, perhaps November is the time to do it. Oman is the least developed of the oil rich gulf states but has, in recent years, certainly upped its games and has some beautiful hotels and sights.

In October, Dublin will always be one of the most go to cities in the world and when you are a one hour flight away from the city it would be wrong not to go and enjoy a pint of Guinness at the world famous Guinness Factory whilst attending the famous music week. Marrakech in Morocco is another great option that does not include a long flight. The city has loads of art and culture for the traveller that appreciates such things. Cambodia, another country steeped in history makes for a great long haul option.

For September, Western Australia is another area of the world that has vast expanses of land that is very much untouched by man and is definitely somewhere that you have to go to at least once in your lifetime. Singapore is a delight and one must marvel at how this city turned itself around from being one of the poorest nations on the planet after the Second World War to one of the richest. For those looking for some culture on a short haul trip, you can't go much wrong with Santorini.

The August school holidays will always bring a surge in demand for holidays on continental Europe in the sun. Whilst these are fun, they are also sometimes very cramped. Something a bit more long haul is a great alternative. Canada with it's vast expansive wilderness offers some of the most stunning sight seeing options on the planet. Bali and Malaysia in Asia are a couple of great options which can be combined together as they are very close to each other.

Iceland might be popular during the winter months, but one of Europe's most sparsely populated countries has a lot to offer for those who prefer warmer weather that July brings. Some fascinating local geography combines well with a whale watching. For the short haul musical fan, San Sebastian in Spain hosts the Jazzaldia festival towards the end of the month. For those who are looking for something off the beaten track, the Azores is a great option that is certainly a lot quieter considering that July is such a popular time for people to travel.
