Hi everyone 👋 Back at my desk today after a lovely Christmas and New Year with family and friends 🥰 I’ve been working in between times over the last couple of weeks but today I’m back properly, and although I would love to be sitting here in the sun drinking cocktails 😝, I’m glad to be back and ready to work on all your lovely holiday enquires ✈️☀️🌴

January is one of the busiest times for booking travel, so after the Christmas madness if you need something to look forward to, please get in touch. Whether it’s a family holiday, honeymoon, luxury break, sports trip, adventure tour, long-haul, short-haul or anything in between, I’m here to help and excited to hear from you & get to work 🤗

✨ Beautiful Bali ✨

“Nowhere on the planet offers the same combination of surfing, spirituality and sun-kissed sybaritic pleasure as Bali. On the Island of the Gods, fresh ideas arrive like waves, creating a glorious cocktail of cultures and influences.” Condé Nast

Bali, the Land of the Gods, is a true paradise. Although 1 of 6000 inhabited Islands that make up Indonesia, there is no denying it has a personality all of it’s own. Beautiful temples, accented by lush green trees and foliage, and dramatic Volcanos in the background.

Along the Southern coastline and Peninsula, lies the most popular part of the island. Lively nightlife towns of Kuta and Seminyak are great for those who like late nights and shopping, with the beaches at their best in Nusa Dua and Jimbaran. These areas boast luxury beach-front resorts, with some of Bali’s most incredible sunsets at Jimbaran. For those searching for a more tranquil experience, visit the much less travelled north, with its focus on wellness making it perfect for those wanting to get away from it all.

The spiritual centre of the island, Ubud, is a must see whilst in Bali, with the surrounding rainforest and terraced rice paddies, dotted with Hindu temples and shrines, making it among Bali’s most famous landscapes. Of course you can’t forget the famous monkey forest and the iconic Bali swing. With so many incredible places nearby, you can also visit the beautiful Nusa Dua, Lombok, Gili Trawangan or Gili Air, spending time exploring these spectacular islands.

The best time to visit is between May and September, making it the perfect choice for the school holidays. Being the dry season, this is when the weather is at its most pleasant and reliable. Given the rising cost of holidays in Europe during peak season, Bali provides a more affordable alternative, offering amazing value for money. Choose from a wide range of accommodation options to suit all types of travellers, from 5* luxury resorts, gorgeous boutique hotels, beautiful self-catering villas and much more.

If Bali is on your 2025 list, get in touch now and let’s start planning the perfect tailor-made trip just for you 🤗

🤩 Exciting news!!! 🤩

Jet2 have just launched their travel agent-only pre-sale, which means I have EXCLUSIVE access to the best prices out there at the minute - these prices cannot be got online!

There couldn’t be a better time to book your next break, perhaps it’s a last minute gift or maybe you want to get in early before the January craziness 🛍️

I book lots of lovely Jet2 holidays for my customers, and as well as everything you get with them, you will also get those little extras from me - my personal service, 24/7 support, check-ins completed, lots of holiday tips and more! I mean, why would you not use a travel agent? With up to £400 off as well as lots of Free Child Places available, now is the perfect time to book! 🤗

16/12/2024

I genuinely believe there is no better gift than the gift of travel, the opportunity to see the world and make memories to last a lifetime ❤️ If you’re still stuck on what to get your loved ones for Christmas, then perhaps one of my Gift Vouchers would be perfect.

I’m such a huge believer in filling life with special moments rather than possessions, having stories to tell as opposed to having a lot of ‘things’. This is probably why every spare penny I have usually goes on some sort of trip 😛

Gift vouchers are available in a variety of denominations and can be sent as an e-voucher or a physical copy posted. And even better, there is still plenty of time to get them before Christmas. Get in touch now to find out more 🤗

Some of the highlights of the weekend included the incredible guest speakers we were lucky enough to have join us, including 👏

Friday nights Apres Ski party was brilliant, such good craic and so much going on. - the slide was my fav! Amazing entertainment from & Rockaoke 🎤

Great to meet lots of the fab suppliers we work with over the weekend (far too many to even start mentioning names), learning all about the services they offer and how I can use these to help make my customers trips the very best 🤗

Saturday nights Gala dinner this year was Gatsby-inspired - and all I can say is wow! 🤩 The venue looked absolutely incredible, the theming was just perfect.

🌟 Customer review 🌟

🌟 Customer review 🌟 I absolutely love getting feedback from my customers, a nice review or comment means so much to me - but this one took it a step further! The lovely Owen from Bear Competitions kindly had this little video review put together on a recent trip organised by myself. Little did I know (but luckily for me) there was a professional videographer on the trip, so when Owen decided to do this and sent it over, I was blown away! Owen has been a great client to me since I began this venture, and I truly appreciate every single trip he books 🤗 As he mentions, not only has this been his personal trips, but also his (amazing) business trips - which I’m not at all jealous of 😏 I’ve been meaning to share this for a while but today seemed like the perfect time. Not only are Owen & his lovely wife Danielle heading off again this evening, but it’s also Owen’s birthday today. So happy birthday from me, thank you for the kind words & more importantly, enjoy your break 😎 #customerreview #personaltravelagent #travelcounsellors #trustedtravel #womeninbusiness #northernirelandtraveller #northernirelandsmallbusiness
