Skiing is back with a vengeance, but with so many tempting resorts, how do you set about finding the best one for you, whether you’re travelling solo, a couple or a family, or with friends. That’s where I come in! Here's a brief overview of some of my favourite places.

In Europe, Zermatt in Switzerland is definitely my favourite resort in Europe. A high altitude village with a great snow record and excellent skiing for all abilities. It’s a chocolate box pretty traffic-free resort dominated by the magnificent Matterhorn. You can ski into Italy too and enjoy the wide open slopes of Cervinia.

For variety Le Trois Valleés is no less than one of the greatest ski areas in the world – and you can actually now ski here in four valleys, offering a combined total of 450km of runs and vast swathes of off-piste. Resorts here include exclusive Courchevel and its satellite villages, Méribel with its fantastic beginners’ area, Les Menuires (including Reberty 2000), with easy slopes each side of the valley, and Val Thorens, which at 2,300m is Europe’s highest ski resort.

If you're looking at going long-haul; Whistler in Canada is awesome and has a fantastic snow record, amazing skiing to suit all abilities with masses of on piste options and wonderful back bowl skiing. It’s a brilliant resort for its “vibe” and atmosphere. Après ski is great with live music and plenty of bars and restaurants in the resort centre. But bear in mind it can get pretty cold up high, it was -25C when I was last there.

However, if you're after powder Japan is hard to beat, I'm a big snowboarder and the snow in Japan is like no other and doesn't get too cold! But such an awesome experience and easy to get to now Japan has just reopened for the ski season 22/23.

I’ve been quiet on here recently but this weekend I’m at Travel Counsellors Annual Conference, the first one for three years due to Covid. It’s a big occasion for us meeting colleagues and suppliers we haven’t seen in a long time and for me especially meeting a lot of people I’ve only ever seen on a computer screen! Lots of inspiring content and networking to help me and my clients this coming year. Exciting times ahead!

I've just booked a lovely family to visit the beautiful island of Fuerteventura for some winter sun! Why not give yourselves something to look forward to next February half term with this family break on the gorgeous Canary island, staying at the Alua Suites, a breezy all-inclusive on Butihondo Beach with facilities and amenities for all ages, including two outdoor pools, a kids’ pool and a heated pool in the spa, where you’ll also find a Turkish bath, two saunas and a hot tub.

Revel in the space of this second-largest of the Canaries but also one of the least populated, with mile upon mile of white sandy beaches and sheltered coves.

Head to play among the dazzling white dunes of Corralejo in the north of the island – a protected National Park.

Check out the Jandia peninsula, especially the stunning Sotavento de Jandia beaches with their wonderful swimming and windsurfing.

Venture up to the Mirador Astronómico de Sicasumbre to look back down over the island’s Mars-like landscapes of copper-coloured ravines, valleys and hills, or to star-gaze after dark.

I love a review, it's how my business works! I don't advertise (except for social media!), I work mainly on word of mouth as this the best kind of support for my small independent travel business. I do this business because I love making people's ideas (no matter how far fetched!) become a reality, everyone can travel no matter their budget there is a place for everyone to experience. Thank you to all my clients, family and friends that recommend me to others! Word of mouth is a wonderful thing!

September is seen as the best month to visit the southernmost tip of the African continent, with great weather and the best wildlife sightings – breaching whales not least among them. Indeed, the Hermanus Whale Festival (30 September to 2 October 2022) celebrating the return of southern right whales to the coastal waters of southern Africa is a brilliant way to spend a few days, with the eponymous fishing village given over to eco and marine exhibitions, live music, a street parade and more. Alternatively, or as part of a longer holiday, go earlier in September for the Rugby World Cup Sevens 2022 (9–11 September).

May is a great time to get away for a pre-summer break. In Europe the temperatures are rising and hotels are opening up for the summer season! Further afield on longhaul routes it's generally the time between the dry and wet season so prices are more affordable but still with fantastic weather!

The waters around Mauritius are so clear for snorkelling and diving. However if that’s not your thing even a glass bottomed boat ride is a must to see the coral reefs and the odd turtle! Or even hop in a kayak and you’ll see some amazing fish swimming all around!

The beautiful island of Mauritius 🏝🇲🇺! I don’t often go back to places I visit but this is my fifth time here (two of my boys’ third time and my little ones first!) and I love it more every time! If there is one place I have missed in the world in these last 3 years of no travelling it’s certainly here, I felt like I was coming home!!

From the stunning beaches which are different on each side of the island, to their wonderful food and the Mauritian’s amazing hospitality! You will never be bored, whether you love the beach or an epic adventure you can have both here in amazing !

There is a place for everyone whether you want 5* luxury, 3* laid back or even a villa you can call your own, I can help! So get in touch.

GOOD NEWS 🎉! Transport Secretary Grant Schapps announced today that all rules still in place for travellers will be stood down from 4am on March 18th including testing for arrivals into the U.K. and completion of a passenger locator form.

There are still requirements for countries you wish to travel to and this is when booking with a trusted travel advisor is still key as we will help you with those requirements.

But today is amazing news when it comes to your homeward journeys and not having that additional worry and expense. If you want to plan your Easter or May half term breaks get in touch. I would love to help!

If you’re going away this half term don’t forget to CHECK YOUR PASSPORT!!!

As discussed on this morning, with less of us travelling over the last couple of years many of us have forgotten that Brexit did happen. These are the new travel rules for British passports: You must have at least 3 months remaining on your passport ( I recommend 6 months to be safe) and it must be less than 10 years old.

Don’t do a Vassos and be disappointed when arriving at the airport as airlines will not let you board your flight if your passport isn’t valid. This is why booking through a travel expert such as myself is so important as we check all the details for you!

From Alpine crossings to Apfelstrudel, to biking the shores of the Danube, life in the outdoors is what Austria is all about.

The complex history leaves a cultural treasure trove to explore. The music, the art, and the unique culinary identity, with influences from Italy, Germany, Hungary, and far beyond.

From classic cycling adventures to next-big-thing hiking trails, there really is something for every sense of adventure, no matter your experience level. A few favourites...

I've just booked an amazing holiday for a family to see Santa next December just before Christmas. This is a once in a lifetime holiday and an experience that will last in everyone's memories forever. It isn't just about seeing Santa though, there's husky sledding, northern lights excursions, reindeer sleigh rides, skidoo rides, skiing, snow-shoeing, cross-country skiing and more.

It isn't a cheap holiday but well worth it to see the smiles on everyone's faces not just the kids and a real treat for Christmas! Having had a look round all my suppliers the last couple of days availability is slim so if you are thinking of a trip to Lapland get in touch as these holidays tend to get booked up early!
