I am absolutely waiting for tomorrow……..country 50, properly visited, not just as a quick spasm day trip, I had a goal at the start of the year to atleast get my visited country tally up….which I did, and Moldova you have been beautiful so far…..I 🧡 Chisinau

I am grateful you are my 50th country……a slower pace of life here….and the weather 17degrees in late October…..and I’m super lucky to share with amazing friends…old and new….we are speaking English, I’m fascinated by watching them the change to Arabic, or Turkish, or Hindi and then throw in some Italian and a Yalla Habbi….now we all speak Russian! 🍷look forward to when we can speak Mandarin……

‘We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us’

These words could not have been more true today ... to be able to sit in a brassiere in Montmartre, Paris avec un cafe ☕️ answering messages and going through emails … I just pack up my laptop and change location, to be able to work from anywhere in the world, is a luxury.

I’ve provided quotes and spoken to clients in all sorts of crazy places and today made me feel good and reminded me, that I made one of the best decisions to start my own travel business. It hasn’t been easy and full of challenges, almost daily 🎢, but I couldn’t be without the travel industry now.

The time spent tailoring itineraries to your needs, never really makes it feel like work at all. To share the knowledge and experience I have with you, is just a way to ensure you have what you dream of.

The little touches - special assistance, thoughtfully chosen accommodation, picking flights and flight times that work for you, finding cruises or tours and ways to delight you. Some trips are easier to wow than others - an all inclusive package is a toughie, but if you allow me to try, it can be done.

I love exploring places, I’ve been to Paris for many different occasions, over the years and every time she delights.

So help keep me busy, so I can continue to develop and grow my business 👩🏽‍💻

Refer your friends and family and colleagues. Save yourself time and effort and get the best value. Send me your holiday and travel enquiries, business or pleasure, in some cases I can book as far in advance as 2027.

Passe une bonne journée 🇫🇷 🥐🥂

A beautiful sunshine blue sky autumn weekend in Paris…..🩷 a very perfect 16degrees.

2hours from Birmingham you can be in Central Paris, wowing yourself over the sights. Walk around the queue at the Louvre and you can find plenty of empty spots to take fun pictures 🤳🏻 📸

I’ve been coming here since 2002! and I always find new areas to discover and new places to just sit and be…and just try something else……one of the best places for me to find my inspiration.

I know so many many love to come here or want to come here. What are some of your favourite places or tips, to share?

I’ve had the most amazing morning onboard the Scarlet Lady, whilst she rests from last night, in Ibiza.

It’s literally been years since I was onboard and I loved it then and love it now….due to one thing…..the crew members…..today I chatted with the crew about Captain Giovanni 🧡👌🏽 but also so nice to be remembered as a passenger too…a few people said u recognise you…well known before I knew it!

Adults only fun onboard …. Now time to explore Ibiza old town

I lasted 6 days before I said it out loud, but 30minutes before I thought it……..Can I live here? 🤭🥂🧿🇬🇷

Excellent bank holiday vibes today - ☀️ and little breeze and more Greek salad 🥗

Anyone else have these thoughts when they are away?

I’ve still been able to work whilst I’ve been here - worked on your holiday enquiries and travel plans and seen some other hotels, restaurant visits, wine tasting, island cruise, used the local bus to get around.

I have loved the weather and the people have been really friendly too. Definitely no sunbed wars either, plenty of space.

My super sassy self has been like this for days…..bikini, curls, suntan, earrings, ouzo, water..……

Another amazing day here in paradise…..enjoying my hotel and her amazing pools and staff 💕 and no rushing…..never rush in Greece, just makes your face red, and no one likes that.

Just heading out to meet some local Greeks, to learn even more about their island…because my work never stops, even when abroad….which is my favourite thing….

Thank you to everyone that took the time out to send me birthday well wishes - by phone call, voice notes, emails, texts, WhatsApp, messenger, LinkedIn! My one birthday card 💕

Super grateful for all your wishes….: I still haven’t had a birthday cake with a candle 🎂, so I haven’t actually made a wish yet, however I send an unbundance of love and well wishes to you all.

Enjoy the days ahead and set your path for change…..let those go from the past …you can’t change them, so why worry about them ☺️ I’ve said this to many, like a guru before, may your days be filled with laughter and smiles - so important ☺️ I love to smile so let’s get those endorphins going, share some jokes and good times and take pictures where you can.

Let’s keep celebrating the good and have joy and peace, for everyone with everything happening 🙏🏽

I am so much grateful for the life I’ve built, I’m not a snob or a difficult person, just want to Live and Enjoy and I am committed to my adorable travel business, I always want to learn more and book your amazing holidays and really look forward to having a wonderful year with my friends and loved ones and to all the people I haven’t yet met - look out!

The weather in Romania has been extremely warm this week, hotter than your usual places - Portugal, Spain, Greece.

An alternative to a beach holiday, the facilities in the hotels and the surrounding areas of things to do, are extremely great value for all the family.

A mountain holiday in a different season is a great alternative to still capture the sunshine, the mountains air and interactions with nature are great. My mind feels open and I’m loving the views.

I’ve wanted to come here for a long time….

Something has bitten me in Transylvania…..and an ankle bite is an unusual place too.:….and I spoke to a local and they said everything is just fables and stories……but I feel hypnotised……..I feel like in have super powers now …… so I’m expecting to wake up with amazing hair and be absolutely glowing 😉 and it’s a full moon tomorrow….

…….and I’m finally sure I met a vampire……slightly sparkling in the sunset light, super dark eyes, no tan, extremely well travelled, spoken multiple languages, has lived abroad in many places….very charming, but he wore a cross and he said he would protect the UK travel agents 😀 so no one fear!

I feel super happy…but I think amazing magical things will happen tomorrow…..my language skills have already improved and everything is just…….🧛‍♀️

Thank you so much for your last minute booking.

One of my best clients, they are very decisive and know what they want. Always ready with their dates and budget and I get to spend no time searching and more time helping book their excursions and make the most of their time away.

A week in Riviera Maya, Mexico 🇲🇽🤭 they were very lucky with the weather and the Aqua activities as the week before no boats were able to go out.

A week spent scuba diving and sunbathing and eating ice cream: they saw a huge shark 🦈 (my worst nightmare diving), moray eels, no turtles this time but commented on how well the coral looked.

Thank you for sharing your lovely pictures with me.

I know these clients have been going to this coast of Mexico for almost 20years, but that’s because it’s such great value. To fly long haul is worth it for them, to experience more of the world.

Let’s get your next holiday booked and keep that suntan going 😎

Beautiful boat ride around the waters in Setubal, Portugal 🇵🇹

Love a little windswept look and managed to see lots of dolphins 🐬 fun loving and sociable, just like all my lovely travel friends, so it was perfect.

Wine (it’s really wonderful wine here) and cheese (it’s really wonderful cheese too) onboard too…a great experience, the weather and temperature were just perfect 🇵🇹🍷🫶🏽

Oops it’s been a while…..but all for good reasons….Happy Birthday to my business! 🧡🎂 It wouldn’t be anything without the amazing clients I have that trust me with their holidays.

The last 12m have been incredible! For a micro business, like mine is amazing.

After a company trip to Cyprus….boy, did I see things differently. Light bulb moment from the power of positive thinking… it really did work, and I’ve had my best trading year ever!

I’ve done some amazing things, I’ve been on TV! I’ve booked some incredible holidays - celebrity travel, family safari, multi generational cruise, honeymoons, family holidays, holidays for those with disabilities.

Hugely thankful to everyone that trusts and books their travel with me, and let’s keep you travelling 👏🏽 75% of my clients rebook, which is hugely appreciated.

I don’t think I can work in any other industry, this is the best one for me. The friends I’ve made 😍, the award winning industry contacts I’ve made 🤩 wow wow wow.

My own travel is a huge result of everything I’m exposed to. I want to go everywhere and experience everything. My New Year’s resolution for 2024 was to travel atleast once a month. I’m on target!

To the next year…and all the fun things ahead. Looking forward to me trip to Portugal 🇵🇹

2nd week of the year was quite eventful, in amongst the peak season to boom your travel for 2024 and beyond.

Started with the annual Not Just Travel conference 🌎 Great to hear about that is trending in travel for 2024 and some exciting new company developments too and catching up with our brand ambassadors Laura and Hayley.

Next, a quick networking event with Brummines Networking. Fun to catchup with busy Birmingham networkers Karyl Iles Uvarlyn Hayles Jason Jones Andrew Perks Richard Heathcote and hear about their plans. Hopefully making time to get a few holidays booked in too.

In between quoting your amazing enquiries for your holidays - some brilliant plans you’ve all got for 2024...keep it up, I managed to take part in one of my favourite traditions - the annual trip to the Pantomime, courtesy of the super team at Air Canada 🇨🇦. Thank you Jeremy Moore for keeping up this wonderful event for us. Very much appreciated. Lots of laughs and giggles. We all traded some fun holiday stories and talking all things skiing! ⛷️

Ended the week catching up with some International friends and colleagues. It’s inspiring to see what is happening in the destinations that I book for my clients and keeping those relationships alive, to ensure you have a memorable time on your holidays.

Looking forward to the next few weeks….so far I’m working on getting booked a group’s flights out to Malaysia and Bali for an epic trip, a 5* family summer holiday to Thailand, and a new one just come in for a honeymoon to Japan! Can’t wait to get all these booked up for you.

Before we get down to planning, here’s a little bit about me…

I love travelling! I love holidays. There is nothing better than when the cabin doors open and you get that first feeling of the warm air on your face.

I know you can book your holidays yourself. Wouldn’t it be great love to be able to talk to someone about it though? A few clicks on a website after several hours of looking, it’s not quite the same.

As your Personal Travel Consultant, I'm here to make planning your next holiday stress-free and easy. Whether you know exactly what you want or need some travel inspiration, I'll use my knowledge and expertise to create a bespoke holiday you’ll love and help you unlock hidden treasures that aren’t available online. From the whole package to those finishing touches such as car hire and travel insurance, I've got you covered!

A travel emergency? I can assist and intervene should the unforeseen happen - like a Covid 19 crisis!
