Hello June,

Summer is nearly here, exams are nearly finished and the good weather we have just had has set us up for the next few months.

This month I have people travelling to or from Canada, Croatia, Prague, Portugal, Menorca, Tenerife and my own trip to Italy. A busy month ahead, with late-summer requests coming in and lots of ideas for travel next year.

Let me know what you have planned this month, and if you want to talk holidays please get in touch.

IWhen you think of New Mexico, skiing is not what first comes to mind. However Vogue has just shone the spotlight on this hidden secret, saying it is "The Coolest Ski Destination in the West!"

Carve turns in the high desert and finish your ski day with world‑class art and adobe sunsets: Taos Ski Valley is not your average mountain escape.

Set in New Mexico’s Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Taos combines big‑mountain terrain with a soulful, laid‑back vibe, where dry powder, steep chutes and quiet tree runs meet Pueblo heritage, galleries and incredible Southwestern food just down the road in Taos town. It is perfect for skiers and boarders who want a challenge on the hill and culture off it.

Whether you are chasing steeps off Kachina Peak, looking for space to progress on quieter blues, or dreaming of a long weekend that feels a world away from home, Taos delivers something truly different in the US.

Thinking about a ski trip with a twist of culture and sunshine this could be perfect for you.

What does your perfect holiday day look like?

Coffee on a balcony overlooking the sea, wandering around a local market, a long lazy lunch, or cocktails at sunset and starry skies?

I spend my days planning trips that are completely different for every person, so I am curious:

If you could wake up anywhere in the world tomorrow, where would it be and what is the first thing you would do there?

Tell me in the comments – I might just use your ideas as inspiration for my next tailor-made itinerary 👇

And if your answer makes you realise it is time for a proper escape, contact me and I will help turn that dream day into a real trip.

Where is trending this year? Let me share what I am really seeing right now from my lovely clients.

Closer to home, Tenerife and Crete are in big demand for this summer, with plenty of people also looking at Switzerland and Austria for the cooler destinations. . For winter, France is topping the list for snow, skiing and cosy mountain escapes.

Further afield, two of my key specialist areas, Japan and California, are proving incredibly popular. I have travelled to both recently, so I can share genuine first‑hand insight, honest advice and lots of little tips you will not find in a brochure. Canada, South Africa and Sri Lanka are also getting a lot of attention for the year ahead.

Have you got your summer sorted, or are you ready to plan something a bit further into the future? If you would like ideas tailored around you, I would love to help.

I have been asked lots of questions about the stunning reset.hotel in Joshua Tree. It really is a special place to switch off. The cabins are well thought out. Top tip..get a Mountain View King, the window frames the world
