In case you missed it I'm going to warn you in advance I will not be shutting up about this for the next few months but we're off to Japan, NZ and Tahiti later this year...More on that shortly and I'm now officially an NZ Specialist! 🥳

It doesn't make me an expert though and as I'm putting my own itinerary together I would love to hear your NZ highlights!!

So hit me with your NZ tips and I'll be sharing my personal plans with you soon 🇳🇿

Today is Pancake Day or Mardi Gras but here are some more unusual versions from around the world...

In Denmark they celebrate Fastenlavn and 'kick the cat out of the barrel' - luckily this is a pinata than an actual cat 😼🇩🇰

In Lithuania their celebration of Uzgavenes sounds a lot like Hallowe'en, with witches, and devils 👹🧙‍♀️ making an appearance. Plus they get to eat 12 meals in one day as preparation! 🇱🇹

I particularly like the name 'Sprengidagur' – Explosion day - from Iceland. Unsurprisingly it involves eating a lot of food until you feel like you're going to explode - in this case a meat and lentil soup. 🇮🇸

I am stupidly excited about this!!🤩I've just booked a Tahitian cruise with Windstar Cruises for this November to finish off my own trip to Japan and New Zealand in style.

Genuinely cannot wait having had an opportunity to experience this incredibly special style of small-ship cruising last year.

Don't fret - you don't have to go to Tahiti to have the same experience (but you're welcome to join me😉) There are some incredible itineraries across Europe and the Caribbean this year so give me a shout to find out more!

I've had a great time putting together a trip of a lifetime to South Africa, Victoria Falls and Botswana recently and I'm hoping it gives my clients memories like these 👇😍🇿🇦

So Valentine's Day will soon be upon us and nope, I haven't got him anything yet 🤫😆 but if you don't think a bunch of flowers will do the trick here's an alternative to help you make some lasting memories!

Today is International Reducing CO2 Emissions Day - I know how important it is to avoid the greenwashing and I'm always looking at ways to make your travel more sustainable; whether that's swapping domestic flights for train journeys, choosing airlines with newer planes or using hotels with certificated waste reduction programmes.

It might not be the sexiest part of travel but we all know how important it is.

It's World Snow Day! For those of you who know me, I genuinely can't think of anything worse than strapping one or two bits of carbon fibre to my feet and chucking myself off a mountain but don't let that stop you 🤣🤣 ⛷🏂

My preferred version of snow is checking out the inhabitants of the White Continent and, if you missed it, I've finally written a blog about my experience: https://www.travelcounsellors.co.uk/liz.penn/Profile-Blog/MajesticAntarctica

I got lucky enough to spend 10 nights on a fabulous Windstar Cruise last year and can't recommend them highly enough.

I'm hoping to follow it up with a Tahiti cruise with them later this year and I'll be getting some inspo from Susan Calman's Channel 5 show - second episode featuring Windstar is tonight...
