As it's tomorrow, I had to choose my favourite city for which is Barcelona ❤

I could talk for hours about this amazing city, which I feel has something for everyone. I've visited seven times so far and still have more to explore, but each time I go I feel immediately at home and always visit a few favourite eateries and parks.

From the beautiful Gaudi architecture to the bustling markets, from the numerous parks to the miles of beach, from the amazing shopping to the delicious cuisines, it ticks so many boxes for a city break or a Summer holiday.

It's Port welcomes some great cruise lines so it's a great city to spend a few days before you set sail too.

If you're tempted with Barcelona (I am, again!) then I'd love to create your holiday so please do give me a call. I have lots of places to recommend too!

Book your Airport parking or transfer when you book your holiday ✈🚘

The earlier you book the cheaper it is, and it's usually free cancellation until the day before you depart if your plans were to change.

Also, think about your flight time... do you need a hotel the night before, to avoid driving through the night?

I can help you with all of this when you book with me, and discuss alternative options like private transfers or rail.

Your holiday starts the moment you leave your front door! 🧳🌴

The clocks go back tonight and the days grow shorter. It’s the perfect time to escape the winter chill and chase some sunshine! Swap the early sunsets and frosty mornings for warm beaches and blue skies. Whether it’s lounging by the pool, exploring vibrant cities, or simply recharging in the sun, a winter getaway is just what you need to beat the darker days.

Why not treat yourself to a sunny escape and make the most of the season? Call me 😍

Let's float away to Cappadoccia 😍

This really is a mesmerizing region in Turkey, where volcanic eruptions & centuries of erosion have given it one of the most distinctive landscapes in the world.

It's a wonderful place to visit in Spring and Autumn, where the weather is well suited for exploring and ballooning of course. And with its delicious dining and wine it really is somewhere you should have on your checklist.

If you'd like to find out more about a holiday to Cappadocia do let me know and I can tailor make an unforgettable trip for you.

Pre-book it if you really want it 👍

It mind sound exciting, the spontaneity of arriving on holiday and then deciding what to do, what to book... however it's not so exciting when you miss out on the experiences you REALLY want to do because there's no availability 🫤

Pre-booking the important stuff is ideal, so you don't miss out. You can often save money, and many experiences have a flexible cancellation policy, just in case your plans change.

If the experience you long for is seasonal, this is even more important, like ice skating in Central Park or at the Rockefeller Centre... dates get booked our so quickly.

So to avoid disappointment, pre-book it if you really want it. This is something I can help with when booking your holiday with me. But don't worry, I'll still leave you plenty of time to be spontaneous too!!

Tomorrow is World Food Day so my is... when you're on holiday eat like a local 🥘🍜🍝

Avoiding chains & large tourist restaurants can not only save you money but helps support local business owners and families. It's great to ask locals where the best place to eat is, where they would recommend, as this can lead to some great culinary experiences and the lovely knowledge that you're helping keep that money local.

And it's not just the locals who can recommend great places to eat, here at Travel Counsellors my colleagues (and their clients) often have fabulous recommendations which we all share 🥰

So, enjoy the adventure of seeking out independent restaurants, cafes & bars... and let me know your favourites too so I can share the recommendation and support.

takes you on a city break to Copenhagen, perfect for culture lovers & foodies.

Less than a 2 hour flight, the Danish capital is ideal for a weekend away to recharge those batteries. It's a cool and lively city full of modern architecture, contemporary art and fine dining. It's very walkable, or bikeable, and with cool areas to discover like Nørrebro or Christiana it offers something quite different to a staycation.

I even have some top restaurant & bar recommendations from a recent traveller, so if Copenhagen tempts you then I can create a great getaway for you 😍

- Try a Destination Dupe for somewhere different ✈

If you're tired of tourist traps, want to avoid the crowds or looking for somewhere different to where everyone else seems to be going, then here are some great tips for destination dupes that I can arrange and book for you:

🏙️ Chicago instead of New York City
While New York City is often seen as the ultimate urban destination, Chicago offers a similar big-city experience with its own unique charm. I've been, I loved it!

☀️ Montenegro instead of Croatia
Montenegro is an often-overlooked gem that offers the same stunning Adriatic coastline as Croatia but with a calm and relaxed atmosphere.

⛰️ Slovenia instead of Switzerland
If you dream of alpine landscapes and pristine lakes, Slovenia is the perfect alternative to Switzerland. Slovenia's natural beauty is truly awe-inspiring.

🍋 Seville instead of Madrid
For those craving the famed culture and warmth of Spain, Seville is a captivating alternative to Madrid.

Let's start that adventure, contact me today!

This is the start of - weekly tips to make your holidays even better 😀

Obviously, booking with ME is my biggest top tip, but I have many others, starting with...

Travel Insurance - NEVER FORGET this. It's so important that, if you don't already have an annual plan, that you take this out as soon as you make a financial commitment to your holiday or book it.

We've all seen the horrid stories in the Media of people who've failed to take our insurance and suffered issues on or before their holidays, and the money they sometimes have to find is shocking, let alone the stress they endure.

Don't let this happen to you, make sure you take out Travel Insurance and that it covers everything you need. I will ALWAYS advise my clients this, and remind them, because I care ❤️

Toronto is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world, and a really popular holiday destination for 2025.

Here are my Top 5 iconic landmarks to visit:

🍁 The CN Tower, the highest freestanding structure in the Western Hemisphere offering breathtaking views of the city & lake Ontario
🍁 The Historic Distillery District, with its cobblestone streets and Victoria-era industrial architecture, it's a great place to soak up the city's creative spirit
🍁 Niagara Falls, where the largest of the Falls (Horseshoe Falls) sends a million bathtubs of water over its edge every minute
🍁 Toronto Islands are only a 10 minute ferry ride from the Harbour front & offer miles of parkland with beaches
🍁 Castle Loma, a magnificent castle-like structure nestled atop a hill with beautiful estate gardens to explore

If you're tempted by Toronto get in touch and let me help you create your own tailormade trip to this beautiful part of the world.
