Would you travel outside the norm to enjoy fewer crowds, better weather, and more value for your money? 🤔

Turns out, the best times to travel aren’t always when everyone else is going!

One of the trips I’ve loved putting together recently is a twin-centre getaway to Dubai & The Maldives this September — and it’s the perfect example of why thinking a little differently about when you travel can really pay off. 😍

🏙 Dubai – A few nights in a luxury hotel, with time to explore the city’s stunning skyline, enjoy world-class dining, and maybe squeeze in a bit of shopping before heading off to…

🏝 The Maldives – The ultimate island escape. Crystal-clear waters, white-sand beaches, and a dreamy overwater villa to soak it all in. And with September travel, you still get those once-in-a-lifetime experiences — without the peak-season price tag!

Thinking about a Dubai & Maldives combo? Or just want to know when’s the best time to go somewhere special? Get in touch, I'd love to inspire you with some of my other twin-centre ideas!

Think of me as your holiday matchmaker 💘✈️

One of the most important parts of my job as your personal Travel Counsellor? Getting to know you.

That means your likes and dislikes, your travel style, and most importantly—what you actually want from your holiday. And yes, that includes your budget!

Let’s be clear though—telling me your budget doesn’t mean I’ll run off and try to sell you the priciest thing I can find. It means I can recommend the right destinations, the right accommodation, and the right extras… all tailored to you.

Just recently, I had a client working within a set budget. A 2-bedroom suite wasn’t going to work, but after a chat with my suppliers, I secured two rooms next to each other—exactly what they needed. Even better? They loved the options I suggested so much, they chose to increase their budget!

This is what I do—take the stress out of searching, and bring in the advice and support you wouldn’t get just booking online.

So, maybe you're thinking of booking a holiday but don’t know where to start?

🎉 Wow! Today marks 5 years of doing what I love!

🎂 Today marks 5 years since I started my journey with Travel Counsellors and what a journey (literally) it’s been!

🙏 It’s hard to put into words how grateful I am to all of you who’ve supported me over the years. To my wonderful clients, thank you for being the best! Your loyalty, your trust, and all the recommendations you’ve sent my way mean more than you know. I truly wouldn’t be here without you.

😊 My business has grown year on year, but it hasn’t always been easy. There’ve been long days, late nights, moments of doubt and worry. But I’ve never given up. I’m proud of what I’ve built and how far I’ve come. And I still wake up every day excited to do what I do, helping people experience the world!

✈️ This past year has brought me even more incredible travel moments, from Istanbul to Dubai, Abu Dhabi to Australia, Lapland to Budapest, and Ras Al Khaimah. Travel isn’t just my job, it’s my passion ❤️ and I’m lucky I get to live it every day.

🙏 I’m also beyond thankful for the amazing network around me. Strong, supportive women who lift each other up. Huge love to the The Glow Club BWCGlasgow and Scottish Women In Business SWIB I’ve found lifelong friendships and support that have helped me grow both personally and professionally.

🥂 So today, I’ll be stepping away from my desk for a little celebration.

✈️ Here’s to more adventures, more dream holidays, and many more years doing what I love.

Thank you all.. truly ❤️🙏🥂

I'm not stalking you I promise!

When you book with me, my job doesn’t stop once your holiday is confirmed. I’m with you every step of the way, even while you’re in the air!

Just recently, one of my clients ended up with a tight connection, and because I was already tracking their flight I knew their bags hadn’t made it onto their next flight before they even landed!

So they didn't waste time at baggage reclaim waiting for their bags, I messaged them before they landed, letting them know exactly where to go to file a lost baggage report so they could go straight to their hotel.

That’s the difference when you book with me. You’re not just another booking. I’m always keeping an eye on your journey, making sure everything runs smoothly. If there’s a delay, I know! If you need a plan B, I’m on it. If you ever need help, I’m just a message away.

Booking online might seem easy, but who’s looking out for you if things don’t go to plan? That’s where I come in, right from the moment we start planning until you’re home.

If you love the idea of having someone in your corner every step of the way, let’s chat! I’d love to help with your next trip. 🌍

Thanks to my close relationship with the hotel, I’ve even managed to guarantee two rooms right next to each other so the family can be together.

This is what I love about planning trips like this, getting to know my clients, adding those thoughtful touches, and making every detail count.

Kangaroo Island is firmly on my 'Personal Bucket List'! 🦘

I recently attended an event with my top Australia partner to learn about some of the top experiences and hidden gems this amazing destination has to offer. My favourite part was learning about Kangaroo Island and I couldn't help but add it to my own bucket list! 😍

It was described so perfectly as “a zoo without fences” – and that really stuck with me. I'd love to see Australia’s most iconic wildlife; kangaroos hopping across the land 🦘, thousands of koalas chilling in the trees🐨 , and sea lions sunbathing by the shore. 🦭

Kangaroo Island is all about nature at its purest, and from what I heard, it’s an incredible place to reconnect with the wild side of Australia and one I'm definitely going to have to experience myself!

If you’ve been thinking about adding Kangaroo Island to your Aussie adventures, let me know! I’m so excited to share more about this stunning destination.

Is there anything on your bucket list I could help with? Comment 'BUCKET LIST' and let’s chat about it! ✈️

I thought I'd do a little recap on my recent river cruising experience.

If you missed them, here’s a quick round-up on everything you need to know about river cruising!

🚢 Is river cruising suitable for children?
Yes! While not every river cruise is family-oriented, some, like A-ROSA, offer fantastic family-friendly options with kids’ clubs, activities, and interconnecting cabins.

🚢 Is river cruising all-inclusive?
It can be! Some cruises include everything—from flights to excursions and drinks—while others give you more flexibility to pick and choose what suits you best.

🚢 Will I get bored on a river cruise?
Definitely not! Whether it’s guided tours, wine tastings, or live entertainment on board, there’s something for everyone. It’s a slower, more relaxed pace compared to ocean cruises, and that’s what makes it so special.

I recently had the pleasure of staying aboard the AMA Sonata with AmaWaterways , and wow—it was beautiful! From the elegant decor to the stunning panoramic views, every detail was perfect. I spent some quiet time on the sun deck watching the sunset over the Danube—such a peaceful moment! 🌅 Even stayed in a compact cabin—no balcony, but totally comfortable.

I also had the chance to stay aboard Riviera Travel William Wordsworth during the CLIA - Cruise Lines International Association River Cruise Conference in Budapest that I attended at the beginning of March. The ship was elegant, the hospitality was top-notch, and the food was a highlight! Meeting the hotel manager, Marius, really made the experience unforgettable.

I recently attended an amazing event with one of my top Australian partners and I can honestly say that South Australia is definitely a hidden gem! 🇦🇺

As your Australia expert, I’m really excited to share what I discovered because if Australia is on your radar, this is one destination you don’t want to miss.

From the world-renowned wine regions like the Barossa Valley to the untouched beauty of Kangaroo Island, South Australia really has something for everyone.

Adelaide is a city you can’t help but fall in love with. With vibrant food scenes, short drives to some of the best vineyards in the world, and the beach just minutes away, you can have the perfect balance of city life and coastal relaxation.

But it doesn’t stop there! Kangaroo Island, only a 30-minute flight from Adelaide, has now jumped straight to the top of my personal bucket list.

I can’t stop thinking about the pristine beaches, native wildlife, and awe-inspiring landscapes I saw. I’ll be sharing more about my bucket list experiences at Kangaroo Island in an upcoming post, so keep an eye out for that! 👀

And then there’s the Flinders Ranges. A stunning area where you can hike, explore ancient gorges, and soak in some of Australia’s most breathtaking landscapes, all just a few hours’ drive from Adelaide.

If you’ve ever wanted to explore Australia’s true heart and soul, South Australia is where it’s at, and I’m here to plan every detail of your perfect trip.
