Client feedback fresh in after a family adventure to Sri Lanka 🇱🇰

“Hello Ashley! Hope you had a super Christmas. We’ve just got home from Sri Lanka and we all had an incredible time. Thank you so much for all your help, you absolutely nailed it. We feel incredibly lucky and managed to tick everything off our list, including the first blue whale spotted in three months, leopards, elephants, bears, wild sea turtles. The boys loved it and it was just the right amount of adventure and relaxation. Our guide went above and beyond on our trips and the kids built a real bond with everyone we met. It was just magical! Thanks again! Sri Lanka had stolen our hearts. X” Hannah & Family

This is why I love what I do ❤️

My clients were there for a Christmas long haul adventure with the family & loved every minute!

My magical trip to Lapland 🇫🇮 ✨

I have just returned from an incredible 3 days in Lapland with & what a magical time it was!

With plenty of sparkling deep snow as far as the eye could see we had an epic family trip that we will remember forever! It was a fun packed three days & it was safe to say my two boys didn’t want to come home - asking multiple times if they could live in Lapland 😜

From driving mini skidoos, husky dog sledding, tobogganing on repeat, reindeer sleigh ride, hot chocolates in igloos & of course meeting Santa & his cheeky eleves. We couldn’t have asked for more!

A once in a lifetime experience ✨

I love sending clients to Lapland & it was so much fun this time being the one to tell my boys we were off to search for Santa!

If you’d like to know more details or would like to plan your own perfect Lapland adventure get in touch. There are lots of different providers out there & I can help you navigate which experience will be best for you & your family.

A wonderful Dubai Oasis on the Palm 🇦🇪

I was lucky to meet with the Sales Director today on my sight inspection of the luxury five star one of our top selling hotels in Dubai.

This is the perfect spot for those looking for an oasis from the hustle and bustle of Dubai. With beautiful pool access rooms, suites & villas there are plenty of choices with there you stay & interconnecting rooms for families.

Surrounded by lush gardens & immediate access to a private beach with clear waters it is a great place to soak up the winter sunshine.

Kids clubs & teens hang out areas, spa and multiple a la carte restaurants to choose from you can easily spend a week here with the family.

Water sports available on the beach at an additional cost, but gives you more options for a fun few hours on the beach.

Plus the Atlantis Water Park (the worlds largest water park!) is not even 10 minutes in a taxi. Perfect for a days fun in the sunshine!

My top would would be to combine this with a few days in the JBR area for the perfect twin centre holiday here in Dubai.

As always, reach out to find out more or chat to me about Dubai & what might be best for your trip.
