Experience the magic of this UNESCO-recognised festival, which blends indigenous customs with Catholic rituals, where the streets are lined with revellers in bright costumes and face paint, musicians playing traditional songs, and stalls selling gifts and traditional dishes such as tamales and pan de Mu***os (bread of the dead).

Celebrate Halloween today by booking a spooky inspired getaway for 2025 🎃

Travel Inspiration ✈️🇺🇸
Explore the culinary genius of the Deep South

For many of us, food is a big part of any holiday, and that goes double for travel in the USA, especially in the Deep South. Whose mouth doesn’t water at the mere mention of iconic Southern specialties such as jambalaya, gumbo, grits, fried green tomatoes, soft-shell crabs, and catfish?

Food is a way of truly immersing yourself in the Deep South region, whether in beachfront shacks cooking up the freshest seafood or in upmarket, fine-dining venues.

Travel Inspiration 🎄✈️
The best Christmas market city breaks in Europe

Looking for a way to get into that Christmas spirit? Then here are some must-visit Europe Christmas markets for 2024, with some continuing into early January if you want to keep the festive feels going ⬇️

🇩🇪 Berlin, November 25th to December 30th 2024
Normally on the Gendarmenmarkt, but held on Bebelplatz this year between the Berlin State Opera and St. Hedwig’s Cathedral, WeihnachtsZauber is a favourite among Berlin’s Christmas markets due to its ambiance and its tented artisan village.

🇵🇱 Kraków, November 29th 2024 to January 1st 2025
In the main square, Rynek Główny, you’ll find market stalls, street performances, folklore shows, and live regional music. Sample Polish treats such as Grzaniec (local mulled wine) and crispy pork knuckle.

🇨🇿 Prague, November 30th 2024 to January 6th 2025
Visit the Old Town Square for its spectacular cathedral views. Here you can buy local crafts, feast on national specialties such as roast pork, gingerbread, hot mead, and Trdelník (a kind of cake wrapped around a stick, topped with sugar and walnuts) while listening to carols and other live music.

There is still time to book a bespoke weekend break to one of these fantastic places for the Christmas 2024 season, get in touch today and I’ll be happy to help 👇🏻

📍San Francisco, USA

Tag someone you want to be visiting this fantastic USA city with ⬇️

While San Francisco is on the small side for a major city, at just 49 square miles, it packs a punch. Yes, there’s Alcatraz and the famed Golden Gate Bridge, but you could also spend a whole day wandering through the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art or discovering street art in the character-filled Mission District. Treat yourself to some pampering at one of the city’s fantastic spas, or head north and take in the majesty of the redwoods in Muir Woods. Add in some of the best restaurants and bars in the world and a hotel scene that truly has something for everyone, and you’ll likely find that one visit to the city by the bay just isn’t enough. 🇺🇸🌁

Tag the person you want to be visiting Montenegro with ⬇️

Montenegro offers a stunning Adriatic coast, a UNESCO town and national park, and less-crowded beaches compared to neighbouring Croatia. From the unspoilt tranquility of Biogradska Gora’s primeval forest, to exploring Tara Canyon, Europe’s deepest gorge, in Durmitor National Park Durimtor National Park, it’s easy to see why it’s also an emerging destination for eco-tourism and adventure sports.  With a classic Wild Frontiers twist, you can stay in the mountain cabins of a local farmer in Biogradska Gora National Park, and taste their traditional cheese and enjoy their hospitality.

Our final 2 nights were spent at the lovely W Costa Navarino which is perfect for both active travelers and those seeking relaxation. Its diverse offerings—luxury spa services, high-end dining, and outdoor sports—make it ideal for couples, families (children over 12 only), and groups of friends. While it’s great for relaxation, the range of activities ensures it appeals to more energetic guests as well. It’s also well-suited for adults with its stylish beach club atmosphere and vibrant social scene.

We also took part in a village cookery activity which is also available to guests as well as cycling experiences and golf along with many other activities.

Tag the person you want to be exploring Bolivia with ⬇️

From the colourful streets of La Paz to the dreamscape of the Altiplano, Bolivia (somehow) continues to be one of South America’s best-kept secrets. This makes it the perfect antidote for overtourism, with vast open spaces and warm, welcoming locals. Escape onto the roof of the Andes and into the wilderness, travel the America’s most beautiful deserts and visit the Uyuni Salt Flats at the best time to attain photographic nirvana on its magical, mirror-like surface.
