Anyone up for a road trip? This is the Punakaiki Pancake Rocks and Blowholes walk of the Paparoa National Park on the West Coast of New Zealands South Island. The blowholes are created by surging waves flowing into air cavities between the layers of rocks and creating spouting blowholes that can reach up to 40m high. The park has lush native forests, hidden coves and rugged mountains to explore and if you're that way inclined how about a hike. Papaora Track is a 55km long Great Walk of New Zealand and takes three-days. Personally I'd lean towards the 1.4km Truman track out to the cliffs and a waterfall on the coast.

The Azores are a stunning archipelago of volcanic islands in the mid-Atlantic which offer an unforgettable travel experience. The islands are known for their beautiful natural scenery, with volcanic landscapes, thermal pools, lush green mountains, and black sand beaches. Whale watching is a popular activity, with pods of dolphins and whales spotted year-round. They're also a great destination for outdoor adventurers, with hiking, biking, and diving all on offer. Consider visiting during the shoulder seasons for pleasant weather and fewer crowds. You can fly to the Azores in around 4 hours from London.

Beautiful Borneo with its diverse landscapes and incredible wildlife is crying out to be explored by families and independent travellers alike. With opportunities to enjoy wildlife watching, beaches, rivers and rainforests in the space of a fortnight, few other countries offer such variety.

Itineraries can be tailored depending on your interests but for thrill-seekers there is white water rafting down the river from Mount Kinabalu, cycling tours through the countryside of Kiulu passing rice paddies and weaving across river crossings. Also, experience local life with a visit to a small village inhabited by the Dusan people and see the workings of a rubber plantation.

Synonymous with Borneo, no trip would be complete without an opportunity to witness the area’s most famous wildlife- the orangutangs. Visit Sepilok's Orangutan Sanctuary to witness these majestic creatures and see orangutang rehabilitation up close.

If Borneo features in your travel plans for 2024 or 2025, now’s the time consider booking. Get in touch today to chat about potential travel dates and itineraries; I only use the most reputable tour operators and can take care of everything from flights and transfers to experience and restaurants bookings.

With many people already starting to think ahead to 2025, I’m keeping an eye on the trends for next year’s travels. Something that is definitely on the rise is 🌊‘blue safaris’🌊.

With more eyes than ever on the importance of protecting our oceans, so-called blue safaris that sustainably and consciously allow travellers to get up close and personal with some of the big blue’s most stunning creatures and wildlife are becoming more popular.

Top destinations for embracing the importance and significance of the ocean on your travels might include:
🌊 swimming with whale sharks off Mozambique
🌊 experiencing a Big Five marine safari in South Africa
🌊 a cruise to witness manta rays in Costa Rica
🌊 conservation safaris in the Seychelles

If you’re passionate about our oceans and travelling sustainably to see and experience them, get in touch and we can explore the most exciting itineraries for your travel party. As an Independent Travel Agent I get the best look across the whole of the market and use only the most reputable operators so you can rest assured you’re in safe hands.

✨Clearing up a misconception about Independent Travel Agents: It won’t cost you more to book through me.✨

Independent Travel Agents have access to a huge variety of travel providers meaning we can get you competitive travel rates and can source from across the sector.

In addition to excellent rates, you’ll get someone who is an expert advisory service- a flight might be cheaper but I’ll highlight that you’ll lose a day of your holiday. I’ll make sure things are covered that you might not consider- children’s car seats, airport security fast track, extra baggage if you’re going for longer. And I’m at the end of the phone from initial enquiry to flight home.

The art of anticipation- why having something planned in your holiday diary can make the year so much more enjoyable.

There are so many reasons to get ahead and plan your travel well in advance but we’re seeing a huge trend in people booking much further ahead- think 2025/26.

Long-range planning has some practical benefits:
🏨 choose from the best picks of accommodation
✈️ pick the flight times that work for you
⭐️ you get pick of the crop when it comes to experiences- this is especially important if you’re visiting areas that need visitor permits or you’re visiting for a once-a-year event

And the mental health benefits of planning in advance are scientifically proven too. Your body releases dopamine when we anticipate our future holidays so the further in advance you book, the longer you can benefit from the warm fuzzy feeling of excitement!

Ready to start booking for late 2025? If you have an idea of country and season, drop me a DM or email and I can start pulling together options for you.

Happy Leap Day!

Did you know that Anthony, Texas is the self-proclaimed “Leap Year Capital of the World”?

Every Leap Day it holds a 4-day festival that includes a big birthday party for people born on Leap Day.

But Texas has plenty to offer even if your birthday isn't 29th Feb. It's a state that is big and bold. With vast cities including Austin- live music capital of the world- and Houston where you can imagine you're an astronaut about to take off on a lunar mission at the Space Centre. For a taste of western heritage, Dallas and Fort Worth are the place to go.

Of course the state has a rich Wild West history so a ranch stay is an excellent way to get a glimpse into what life is like on a ranch - sit on a rocking chair on the porch and hear tales of the Mexican-American history. And hikers won't be short of trails to stretch their legs on- there are 150 miles of trails through Big Bend alone or climb 3,000 feet to conquer Guadalupe Peak.

To devise a Texan itinerary that takes in all aspects of this vast state, get in touch with your ideal travel dates and I can begin looking into flight and tour operator options for you.

🍷 A wine tour combined with a week by the beach? I can suggest my top picks

Tremendous Thailand. Here's 5 not-to-miss experiences for a trip to Thailand.

🇹🇭 Hire a long tail boat and explore the khlongs (canals) of Old Bangkok. Take in a floating market and find boats filled to the brim with fruit, veg and flowers.
🇹🇭 Get up at sunrise to witness the Chiang Mai monks collecting alms as the sun rises.
🇹🇭 Find the ultimate beach paradise in Koh Samui. Laze on Mae Nam beach and marvel at the ocean views, white sands and views across the neighbouring island Koh Phagnan.
🇹🇭 Scuba divers won't want to miss the chance to dive some of Thailand's best sites located in Ko Tao amongst rainbow coral and sharks and rays.
🇹🇭 Often people fly from Bangkok to Chiang Mai but if you take an in-land route to get between the two you can take in Sukhothai in central Thailand. This World Heritage Site is filled with lichen-covered 13th century palaces, giant Buddhas and stunning temples which are a not-to-be-missed sight.

Are you planning a Thai holiday in 2024? Let me help you incorporate some of these once-in-a-lifetime experiences into your itinerary. As an independent travel agent I take all the leg work out of booking complex holidays like Thailand which can involve multiple transfers using different modes of transport. Get in touch to discuss your ideal Thai itinerary today.

Bora Bora- surely one of the most idyllic places in the world to do absolutely nothing.

There are holidays for doing and there are holidays for being. And Bora Bora is just the sort of place where you want to take pleasure in being in one of the world's most relaxing, stunning locations with very little to do other than enjoy yourself and get away from it all.

Ideal for honeymooners or families looking for a true break, this paradise in French Polynesia will feel like you're out of this world. Imagine crystalline waters as far as the eye can see and nothing but sun, sea and who you're with to enjoy.

The luxurious Four Seasons resort is the ideal resort to consider with beachfront villas and water bungalows.

I'm already getting enquiries for 2025 so if you're looking to get planned this far ahead for late 2024 or 2025, get in touch with your dates.

Heard of Cool-cationing?

Did you fall foul of the the hottest year on record in 2023 in hotspot locations like the South of France and Sicily where temperatures made holidays far less enjoyable than many of you had planned? No wonder then that this year we're seeing the rise of people considering cooler destinations instead- the rise of cool-cationing.

Top destinations to consider if you're looking to avoid heatwaves include:
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland
🇮🇸Iceland
🇫🇮 Finland
🇱🇻 Latvia
All these countries typically experience cooler summer where you'll be less dependent on the SPF and more able to enjoy your break. The benefit of these destinations is a more back-to-basics style holiday with focus on natural wonders and relaxation over sight-seeing and sunbeds. These options are also ideal for families who won't have to worry much about staying cool and can take advantage of beautiful family-friendly hotels and relaxed itineraries. And the good news is you won't have to compromise on activities- there are still plenty of chances to swim, explore fascinating cities and enjoy some time out, just without watching the weather forecast every day.

If the sound of a cooler summer is appealing, get in touch today with your ideal holiday dates and I can suggest some country options where you can relax without being fried this summer.

Is 2024 the year you're focusing on having a deeper experience when you travel?

Perhaps you're looking to really explore the culture of places you've been many times before or get under the skin of a new country by booking an unforgettable experience run by locals?

Either way, it's something I'm really passionate about and can definitely help you plan and book. Kindness is one of the Four Corners of my business and I'm a huge advocate for using local community-run initiatives that pay back into the local economy rather than commercial tours.

Nothing screams luxury quite as much as a hotel where the staff are as loyal as the guests. A stay in Mauritius' oldest luxury hotel is somewhere you'll undoubtedly want to return to time and again.

One &Only Le Saint Geran is a pearl in the oyster that is Mauritius. Exceptional service is guaranteed at this world-class luxury resort. You'll find that over half the fellow guests you bump into during your stay have stayed before and such is the commitment to service that each department is headed by someone who has over 30 years experience at the hotel. But don't fear, this doesn't create an air of stuffiness- quite the opposite. There is a comfortable luxury to the One&Only, so no wonder people return tens of times.

The report boasts only 142 private villas, rooms, suites and multi-bedroom family suites. Transfers are a cinch with private helicopters on hand to make sure you reach paradise in the least possible time. Pick from 6 on-site restaurants of various cuisines and for special occasions take advantage of the opportunity to private dine in the Alice-Temperley-designed tipi.

I work with the world's most prestigious travel operators to book luxury holidays like this one so you can rest assured that every element of your precious holiday time goes smoothly and enjoyably. If Mauritius is on your radar this year then a stay at One &Only Le Saint Geran could start a life-long love affair with the area. Get in touch today to start planning.

It's hard to show just how steep those hills are and the weather is so changeable, you could wear your entire wardrobe in a day. It was great to explore and it was helped by some interesting transport...more on that to follow.

Just back from a few fun-filled days in Porto. The sun did not shine, but that didn't stop us from getting out to the beach, visiting Mercado do Bolhao, tasting the port and eating the local delicacies...including beef wellington. If it's on your list call me to find out more...01892 710810 #portugal #porto #port #mercadodobolhao #portofood #fozdodouro

Did you know Vietnam produces a whopping third of the world's total supply of black pepper - no wonder they know how to season food so well!#tunbridgewells #travelconsultant #adventuretravel #luxuryfamilytravel

One of my favourite places - @paperbark_camp at Jervis Bay is just a couple of hours south of Sydney. It's offers glamping and then some! Proper beds (some are four poster no less) in the raised safari tents and excellent food served in the Gunyah provides all the comfort you might want and yet you're still completely immersed in nature. We had several kangaroos pass by for a visit and a possum that made us all jump in the dark 🤣 Stand up paddle boarding on the creek and cycling to the beach at Huskisson were highlights for me, but there's plenty of other activities to enjoy or just kick back and relax in the open-air bath

Come with me and my family on our walk around Fes. What a place! It's a vibrant Moroccan city, fully of history, culture and delicious food. I would highly recommend visiting a hammam (steam baths) and taking a tour of the maze-like medina (the word medina means city or town in Arabic). We even tried a family cookery course and made some bread and pastries. Want to know more....give me a call. Claire x

Could 2024 be the year you make your dream Japanese holiday happen? "We had a fabulous time on our holiday organised by Claire, travelling around Japan was made easy with clear instructions and great recommendations, and travelling in Japan is not that easy using public transport, but we did it thanks to Claire! It was the family holiday of a lifetime, and I recommend using Plum travel to everyone especially for those special holidays." L Pannell Whatever your must-sees are in Japan, I can tailor an itinerary that covers it all. Whether you want to visit during cherry blossom season, make sure you incorporate a bullet train experience or really want to appreciate traditional cultures and practices with a local guide, I can make it happen.

One of the things I love most about it- there's a Mexico for every holidaymaker. The draw of luxury resorts along the Cancun and Riviera Maya coast is for good reason- white sand beaches and clear waters ideal for snorkelling make it a haven for R&R. Get slightly off the beaten path of the all inclusives though and you can get more to the heart of what makes Mexico the hot-pot of culture that brings tourists back every year. Great tours can encompass the wonders of Mayan culture such a Chichen Itza and the Cenotes, whilst culinary experiences can share the cuisine that the world has taken to its heart. Time your visit with Mayan festivals like Day of the Dead to really see Mexican people and cuture in its prime. If you've found choosing a Mexican holiday or itinerary tricky to know where to start, I can help. I've got some favourites spots that take you out of the thoroughfare to get underneath the skin of this incredible country. To book in confidence, drop me a DM or email with your intended travel dates and I'll start puling together an itinerary that suits your holiday tick list. #independenttravelagent #independenttravelagents #independenttravelagentuk #independenttravelagentsoutheast #independenttravelagenteastsussex #independenttravelagent🛫🚢🏨🚗🏝🏖 #travelagent #travelagents #fourcornerstravel #luxurytravel #luxuryfamilytravel #travelideas #travelinspo #travelinstyle #travelinspired #travelinstagram #travelinspodaily #travelinspiration
