August might feel like the height of summer, but for family travel it is actually the start of next year’s adventures.

If you are tied to school holidays, now is a brilliant time to start planning your Easter escape for next year:
• The best family rooms and villas are still available
• Flight times are friendlier and less “crack of dawn”
• You can spread the cost and avoid last-minute price jumps

Where would you love to take the family next Easter:
☀️ Pool and waterslides
🏰 Theme parks and sunshine
🌴 Long-haul adventure

Pop your dream in the comments or message me and I will help you turn it into dates in the diary.

Snowy days usually means grey days at home ❄️

If you are thinking about a ski escape this coming winter, then this is the perfect time to:
• Chase fresh snow
• Cosy up in chalet-style hotels with roaring fires
• Mix mornings on the slopes with afternoons in the spa or après-ski bars

Whether you are:
⛷ A family looking for gentle nursery slopes and great ski schools
🏂 A couple chasing long runs and lively après
🏔 Or a group of friends wanting a stylish chalet close to the lifts

I can help you find the right resort, the right hotel and the right dates to make the most of the season.

Message me and I will start putting some ideas together for you.

Forget the crowded squares, selfie sticks, and overpriced paella. The real magic of Spain begins where the tourist crowds disappear.

Imagine a 3-night escape to a living time capsule: Cáceres. Tucked away in the rugged plains of Extremadura, this golden-stone fortress city is so beautifully preserved that stepping through its ancient archways feels like stepping onto a film set—which is exactly why "House of the Dragon" was filmed here.

Here, the modern world completely evaporates. Your days are spent wandering winding cobblestone alleys, discovering hidden plazas, and buying secret-recipe almond pastries from cloistered nuns.

When the sun sets, you'll sit outside an atmospheric "Venta" in the shadow of a 15th-century tower, sipping deep red wine and sharing a board of melt-in-the-mouth Jamón Ibérico.

A short break here isn’t about ticking off a bucket list—it's about the luxury of slowing down and experiencing a Spain that still belongs entirely to the locals.

What is better than a week on the beach in Türkiye?

Two weeks of course, but exploring a completely different side of the country followed by some time on the beach.

Imagine starting your trip with the sights, smells, and sounds of bustling Istanbul, then heading inland to float over Cappadocia’s fairy‑chimney valleys at sunrise, wander barefoot across the white terraces of Pamukkale and trace ancient footsteps through Ephesus. After all this exploring, head to a turquoise bay and watch the world go by whilst sipping a glass of something chilled where you can relax, recharge, and reminisce!

Istanbul: 2 nights in the city to stroll the historic streets and feel the buzz between two continents.

Cappadocia: 2 nights in a cave‑style hotel, with a sunrise hot air balloon (weather permitting), valleys, underground cities and incredible viewpoints.

Inland stop: 2 nights in Konya or the Lakes Region to break the journey and see a more authentic side of Türkiye.

Pamukkale: 1 night to enjoy the surreal white travertine terraces and ancient Hierapolis after the day‑trippers have gone.

Ephesus: 2 nights near the ruins to explore one of the Mediterranean’s best‑preserved ancient cities.

5 nights in a carefully chosen 4 or 5 star beach hotel, in a coastal area that suits your style: chic marinas, boutique bays or luxury all‑inclusive.

Time to unwind with pool and beach days, boat trips, spa time and long, lazy dinners by the sea.

If this sounds like your type of trip, then let me personalise this itinerary for you.

Why settle for one Caribbean island when you can explore three or four?

Imagine drifting from one powder-soft beach to the next: sunrise swims on one island, lazy beach club lunches on another, and sunset cocktails looking out over a completely new stretch of turquoise sea every few days. With clever routing and easy island-to-island flights, you can turn “just a beach holiday” into a luxurious Caribbean hop.

Start with a stylish city-meets-beach stay, then slow the pace on a castaway-style island. Add in somewhere known for chic boutiques and world-class dining, before finishing at a five-star retreat where your biggest decision is pool or ocean. Think 4 and 5 star hideaways, elegant beachfront suites, and seamless connections so your journey feels effortless from the moment you land.

If the Caribbean has always been a dream, why settle for just one island?

Message me to start designing your bespoke Caribbean island-hopping escape, tailored to your favourite kind of luxury.

Ready to experience Mexico far beyond the sun lounger?

Start in vibrant Mexico City, wandering its historic streets before stepping back in time at the awe-inspiring pyramids of Teotihuacan. Continue on to colourful Oaxaca with its food markets and mezcal, then into the highlands around San Cristobal de las Casas for cobbled streets and indigenous culture. From there, soak up the colonial charm of Merida, before ending with white sands and turquoise sea in Playa del Carmen or Tulum.

Whether you prefer the ease and new friendships of a small group tour, or the flexibility and privacy of a tailor-made private journey, I can design a multi-centre Mexican adventure to match your pace, comfort level and budget.

If Mexico has been on your list for a while, this is your sign to make it happen.

Fancy doing your own Race Across the World?

The BBC series has shown just a glimpse of how stunning Central Asia is. From dramatic mountains to Silk Road cities, there is so much more to discover than the cameras had time to show.

If you have been inspired to dust off your backpack, I can help you turn that idea into a real, carefully planned adventure that suits your pace, style and budget.

Message me to explore what your Race Across the World style trip could look like.

So, yesterday I drove to Southampton to visit the Cunard ship, Queen Mary II.

If you like the idea of sailing from Southampton to New York, I couldn't think of a better way to travel.

The onboard facilities are impressive boasting multiple dining options, theatre, cinema, spa, pool, dog kennels (yes, you heard that correctly).

So, I've attached some photos of my visit but if you have any questions or wondered if this is your thing, I can give you an honest opinion.
