2024 summary - Christmas Newsletter
------------------------------------------
What a year it has been – so much has happened I think I may need a holiday in the new year to get over it! it was a bonkers year for travel for me, as I managed to visit 27 different places throughout the year!

I had to laugh when applying for my visa for India as they wanted to know all the countries I had visited in the past 10 years. I very carefully typed all 38 in to find out I was restricted to just 20!

So what have I been up to ? Well I have mostly been working and travelling , sometimes with family, sometimes with friends and sometimes with strangers. Each type offers a new perspective on a destination and enables me to be more knowledgeable when offering ideas and suggestions to customers. My list is long and gets longer each time I go away and I am blessed with being able to keep on top of work from anywhere with internet. (They may look like lovely holidays but I’m always working too)

My family are hugely important to me and in August we had a wonderful gathering to remember my dad who died last year. We interred his ashes at the local church and then scattered some from the top of Helm Crag in Grasmere, where he was brought up. My mother is still living nearby so I'm able to see her frequently too.

In March I headed to Norway with my wonderful mum and sister to visit the Norwegian Fjords and to try and view the Northern Lights (sadly the latter didn’t come out to play) We cruised from Newcastle so no flights were needed and enjoyed the spectacular scenery from the warmth and comfort of our cruise ship.

I don’t seem to have much time for hobbies outside of work these days. I used to do of pantomime but I am unable to commit to regular rehearsals these days with being so busy with work. Luckily I love my job and love to travel hobbys and work are all one and the same and it all seems to roll into one. I love living in the Lakes and like to get out and walk as and when I can and of course my skiing is also a passion.

I have a super group of friends and we get together weekly for a quiznight, a games night or a pool night and often take it in turns to cook meals or host evenings. With the rising costs of living in the UK I do try and enjoy spending time at home rather than going out and having a good set of friends really helps with that.

I also have my lovely cat Mika to keep me company and love sitting in front of the fire with him on my knee on these long winter evenings.

Training and Business
------------------------
I am always working on my personal development and on growing my own business and often like to attend training days and supplier days. Every day is a school day and I really do learn something new every day. Travel Counsellors offer ongoing support and training and invest in amazing technology and advances so I need to keep my hand in so that I can absorb the changes and use them to my best ability.

I work alongside some amazing colleagues too and spent a few days in Crete in June, with the ladies that I trained with when I first joined. We visited 10 hotels in 3 days and learned so much about the island and the hotels that we can offer to clients.
Thanks also must go to my admin help, and to my team members; Jenny, Jodi, Sam, Alison, Mahul and everyone at our head office - the teamwork really does make ‘the dream work’.

We had our incredible Travel Counsellors conference in November in Manchester with some amazing speakers and we were wined and dined and entertained. Here we met up with other colleagues and learnt more about the company as a whole and the future plans.

Whats Next ?
---------------
As I reflect on this year I am so grateful to everyone who has trusted me with their holiday plans and I cannot tell you how much it means to me. Every booking is truly valued and receives the personal touch from me. When I receive your reviews and feedback after your trip and how much you appreciate the little things that I do, and when you refer and recommend me to your family and friends then I know i’m doing it right. I look forward to helping you with your future travels and seeing your photographs posted when you are away. I love to hear from you after your holiday and to chat through the best bits.

in January I am hosting a group ski trip to the Dolomites in January and have a Bali trip planned for later in the year but will also take advantage of any opportunities that rise, to further my education of the wonderful world in which we live.

I hope that you have some hopes and dreams and plans for 2025 too and I very much look forward to hearing about them. While you are gathered together at Christmas time, should the conversation turn to travel, please do pass on my contact details to your family and friends.
I also have an enquiry form that can be completed which helps to focus on the mind on things https://bit.ly/PJWTravelEnquiry

Sending much love and very best wishes to you and your family, whereever you might be this Christmas and I look forward to helping you plan your next adventures.

Have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR 😘😘😘

Sunday shout out to all my clients but especially this one who is keeping me very busy with her amazing trip that we are planning together for the end of 2025 and into 2026. It’s such an exciting trip that I have thoroughly enjoyed researching.

What do you have in mind for 2025 and beyond?

As Christmas and the New Year approaches and often the talk around the table turns to summer holidays, bucket list holidays, ski holidays, travel in general, please remember the many, many companies I am able to use...

As well as being an agent that can sell these (and more) don’t forget that I’m also a tour operator and can craft my own itineraries and tailor made trips and package them into a financially protected package too.

The majority of my suppliers are the same price through me as they are if you book direct so you get their great service and also just the one person to organise everything (including your airport hotels and parking), often getting accommodation upgrades for you and to be there throughout in case you need anything

I do it all - no call centres; just me (or one of my team) with years of travel experience amongst us from start to finish, ensuring a top-notch service.

Shout out Sunday for a lovely new client who has been happy with her booking process.

I will always reply when I can because I know that often my clients cannot discuss holidays during the working day so it’s important that I can be flexible. I’m so lucky that my business allows this but I do have to be disciplined and occasionally force myself to not respond until the morning (unless it’s urgent of course)
When I am unable to respond we have our amazing duty office team who are available 24/7 for emergency situations and for clients who are in resort with issues. Because of time differences this allows me to sleep at night 😴
