The question on everyone’s lips across just about every sector is ‘aren’t you scared AI will take your job?‘ and the answer for us is no.

And the reason we’re so sure? AI can never be truly personal, because it’s not human (yet!)

It can tell you lots of information, but it cannot help you decide which part of a country is going to make your soul sing...unlike our travel experts and oh how reviews like this make our soul sing!

My Favourite Memories in South Africa, Kenya, Botswana, and Zambia.

Travel is often about the experiences that leave a lasting impression, the moments that stay with you long after you’ve returned home.

For me, Africa is a treasure chest of such memories. Each country offers something unique, and I’ve been fortunate to witness some extraordinary moments in South Africa, Kenya, Botswana, and Zambia.

Let me share a few of my favourite memories in Africa including an epic animal showdown and my own wedding like no other.

Controversially my favourite memory of sailing in Greece doesn’t begin in Greece. It doesn’t even particularly involve sailing if I’m being honest.

It begins as a young child in the wet and windy Lake District where every weekend, from April to October, along with my family we ‘did boaty stuff’. For us children this involved swimming in Ullswater (even on the hottest day only the top two inches of water made it to a balmy 14 degrees), building dens ashore amongst the trees, reading Famous Five books and racing in our inflatable dinghies.

I then discovered that ‘boaty stuff’ could be a job…

I then discovered that you could do ‘boaty stuff’ for a job, somewhere where the sun shines more than it rains…

I then discovered Fleewinter did luxury ‘boaty stuff’…

Val’s memories of South America include posing jaguars, Cape Horn, and lots of dancing…

My first time in Patagonia was spectacular! A few days in Torres del Paine, followed by an expedition cruise through Chilean Antarctica.

Life onboard the ship, and discovering some of earth’s most remote places was exhilarating. But it was setting foot on Cape Horn that still gives me shivers (although I missed out on the penguins!)

The memory of the Chilean navy officer and his family welcoming us, reading the poem on the Albatross memorial, and feel like I was truly at the end of the world, is my favourite memory in Chile. And one of my fondest of all time.

Love Val 💃

This time the beautiful Maremegmeg Beach Club in the Philippines.

From your private balcony, enjoy the captivating view of El Nido’s turquoise waters and mighty limestone cliffs.

Stylish but cozy rooms provide the ideal base for your Palawan getaway.

Plus, at Fleewinter, who you speak to is also the business owner for that destination, so you know they really, really care.

Do you agree that the word best suited to November is ‘bleargh?’⁠
⁠
The dark and damp gets us down a bit. So why not head to the Caribbean or Asia next November, and beat the blues?⁠
⁠
A festive break overseas is glorious but if you don’t mind taking your leave a month early, beat the crowds and have the festivities to look forward to when you come home.⁠
