Soo good to be en route to Gold dinner. Last one was, the last work function before Covid locked us down. The world is still so uncertain and my heart is with Ukraine at this awful time. For today, I am going to focus on spring, coming together, and hopefulness.

From 4am Monday 4th October 2021, the rules for international travel to England will change from the red, amber, green traffic light system to a single red list of countries and simplified travel measures for arrivals from the rest of the world. The rules for travel from countries and territories not on the red list will depend on your vaccination status.

From Monday 4th October 2021 - Fully vaccinated travellers do not need a pre-departure test before arrival into England from a non- red list country.

Changes to International Travel Rules:
From 4am Monday 4th October 2021, the rules for international travel to England will change from the red, amber, green traffic light system to a single red list of countries and simplified travel measures for arrivals from the rest of the world. The rules for travel from countries and territories not on the red list will depend on your vaccination status.

The government have also notified that a further announcement will be made to replace the day 2 arrival PCR test requirements, for fully vaccinated individuals arriving from rest or world destinations, with a cheaper lateral flow. However, we must emphasise that at present the 2 day arrival PCR test will remain until the full details of this change are communicated.

9 years ago today I became a Travel Counsellor. Best decision! The next 9 years are going to be incredible..

Seven countries have been added to the UK's green list and two countries are going on the red list, Grant Shapps has announced.

The Azores, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Liechtenstein, Switzerland and Lithuania have been upgraded from amber to green. There are no additions to the amber list.

Shapps also announced that Thailand and Montenegro will be downgraded to the red list. This means that arrivals from these countries face a mandatory ten-day hotel quarantine on return to England. Montenegro is the first European country to go red, after seeing a significant spike in Covid-19 cases.

The announcement dashes hopes that Turkey and Pakistan could move from the red list to the amber list.

The changes will come into effect from 4am on Monday, August 30.

We’ve got great news! Travel Counsellors has been rated ‘Green’ for Covid flexibility on the new Which? Holiday Checker!

After taking part in several surveys with the leading UK consumer champion Which? this year, today the company launched a consumer-focussed online tool that rates companies green, amber or red based on their refund and amendment policies in relation to Covid-19 travel disruption. It is designed to makes it easy for people to check which travel companies have provided the best service to their customers, offering flexible booking options and refunds, and which ones could leave them out of pocket if circumstances change.

This accolade further highlights how we have looked after our customers throughout the pandemic, building on our consistent 5-star Trustpilot rating and three-times been voted ‘number one’ in MoneySavingExpert’s consumer poll, which ranks how well travel companies are looking after their customers during COVID-19.

I'll admit I always avoided Phuket, but having experienced it myself. There is no better time to enjoy the nature at its most pristine in years, and culture that often gets missed by the traveller to this area. SHA+ is a great set up and really makes you feel safe and secure. So can a holiday to Thailand be done in these times, yes absolutely! Call me to discuss!

18/07/2021

First time flying since October 2019, of course it got documented. All very straightforward, premium economy on Singapore is great slick transition at SIN and the organisation of arrival into Phuket was really smooth, despite the lady doing my COVID test like she was mining for brain. Quarantined in my room at the Kathatani Resort till results received which took about 8hrs just enough time for a snooze, shower and free for dinner. Dear Thailand I have missed you!

20/05/2021

Why not staycation in style? And check out the snazzy little upgrade offer 😁. I’ll meet you at the bar!

06/04/2021

The events of the past year have taught us many things, including the fact that being able to spend quality time with family and friends has never felt so important.
We've missed exploring the world with the people that mean the most to us and as we look forward, I'll keep your wellbeing at the heart of everything I do.
I hope you enjoy reliving your travel memories with us as you watch our film, and when you're ready to travel again, I'll be here for you, both for trips around the UK, and to distant shores.

In the words of Ice Cube “today was a good day” Booked myself something to look forward to.

Patmos Wedding

I have been quiet for the last couple months mostly because I have been working on a labour of love. A couple of my favourite clients and good friends decided to have a wedding week in Patmos, Greece. An idyl in the dodekenisos. Pulling 200 people from all corners of the globe to get to this remote paradise and housing them all happily was not in any way easy, travel involved ferries, planes, trains, speed boats, yachts, helicopters, and inevitable delays, cancellations, and last minute changes, but all totally worth it. We are all truly blessed and thankful. #lovestreak #elolars
