I’ve been thinking about my trip to Egypt in 2020. It seems like so long ago that I made the snap decision - in the middle of covid - to head off to this foreign place. I’ve always loved the Middle East – so vibrant, so cultural, so welcoming – but to go at such a tumultuous time … well. Dear reader, let me tell you: I had the place to myself.
🇪🇬
From the dazzling Temple of Karnak to the sunbeaten steps at the Valley of the Kings to the enormity of the Aswan Dam to the crumbling steps of Saqqara… every moment awed me. This place has to be seen to be believed.

Go with a private tour company for a more tailored option (my personal fave) or join a group tour or river cruise with fellow travellers. No matter what, when I plan your travels, you’ll never be flying solo.

Two years ago I was heading home from the most epic adventure of my life - Antarctica! What an experience, what a thrill. I was blown away by the sheer size of the icebergs we passed, and the mountains we could see in the distance as we approached the white continent. By the wildlife, the stillness, the unexpected light.

Go. Take the trip. Do the thing. Say the words. Just do it. You will not regret it at all.

Atlantic Canada’s seaside provinces are filled with natural wonders, rich heritage, and endless opportunities for adventure. Paddle past towering icebergs in Newfoundland & Labrador, spot seals along Prince Edward Island’s shores, hike scenic trails in Nova Scotia’s national parks, or marvel at the giant rock formations at Hopewell Rocks in New Brunswick. The region’s historic fishing villages and lively festivals let travelers immerse themselves in the local way of life. From savoring just-caught seafood to joining wildlife excursions, Atlantic Canada offers the perfect backdrop for an inspiring, memorable escape.

Go off the beaten path in @purenewzealand ⛰️ Take the road less travelled along the southern coastal route. See crumbling rocks, empty beaches, cathedral caves. Revel in the salt air and the brisk Southern Ocean winds.

The words Amalfi Coast conjure up images of colourful buildings set precariously on cliff edges overlooking the cerulean sea, of tiny winding roads and eternal sun drenched days, of lemons and limoncello, days that stretch late into the night, of Italian food and wine and laughter…

Beyond the textbooks and classrooms, educational travel offers a vibrant canvas for learning. Your child will have the opportunity to witness firsthand the wonders of nature, explore ancient ruins, engage with local communities, and immerse themselves in diverse cultures. Each new experience becomes a building block in their understanding of the world, shaping their perspectives and broadening their horizons.
✈️
Here are some of our favourite places to visit for an educational journey with your family:
📌 London, England / London is a vibrant mix of the historic and the modern and is perfect for family members of all ages.

📌 Alaska / Grand glaciers, in one of our last remote wilderness lands here in the US, and the beauty of the Gold Rush towns along the Inside Passage make for an excellent close to home destination for families with kids as young as four or five.
📌 Costa Rica / Immerse your family in the breathtaking beauty of lush rainforests, where towering trees create a natural symphony, and exotic wildlife thrive. Pike along trails, discovering hidden waterfalls and spotting colourful birds fluttering among the foliage.
