🎄 It’s not too early to start dreaming about the holidays!

If you’re already thinking, “I’d really love to go somewhere for Christmas this year…” now is actually a great time to start exploring.

What sounds like your kind of holiday?

✨ Christmas markets in Europe — wander through festive stalls in Vienna, Strasbourg, Prague or Budapest, with mulled wine, twinkling lights and plenty of shopping for unique gifts.

🏰 A cozy British Christmas — historic villages, afternoon tea, country inns, Christmas lights and perhaps a few days in London for the big-city festivities.

🎅 Lapland — snow-covered forests, reindeer, husky rides and the chance to visit Santa’s home in Finland.

🍷 Christmas in France — Alsace is practically made for the holidays, with charming villages, beautiful markets and some seriously good food.

🌴 Or maybe you want to escape Christmas altogether. Think Caribbean beaches, a Mexican resort, a safari in Africa or summer in Australia.

And here's the thing: you don't have to know exactly what you want yet. That's what I'm here for.

Tell me what kind of holiday you’re dreaming about—magical, cozy, festive, adventurous, luxurious, or warm and sunny—and I’ll give you some ideas.

Because the best holiday trips usually start with a little daydreaming. ✈️

Norway, you were beautiful… even if this trip didn't quite go the way we imagined. 🇳🇴

Eric and I spent much of our time in Norway battling a nasty head cold, which meant a lot more time resting and a lot less exploring than we'd planned. And while I was excited about experiencing Hurtigruten, the cruise itself didn't quite live up to what I'd hoped it would be.

But here's the thing about travel: not every trip has to be perfect to be worthwhile.

The time we spent on land was wonderful. Norway & Svalbard's scenery, unique cuisine, and that unmistakable Scandinavian atmosphere reminded me why I love traveling in the first place. The moments when we felt well enough to get out and explore were absolutely worth the journey.

I'm coming home with fewer adventures than I'd planned, but still plenty of memories, a better understanding of what I'd recommend to my clients (and what I might do differently), and a whole lot of appreciation for the days we were able to enjoy.

Norway, I don't think we got to know you nearly well enough. I guess that means we'll just have to come back. ❤️

Something delicious hitched a ride with us in Svalbard 😋. And no, I'm not talking about Eric.

Review from a happy client, who took his granddaughter on a European bus tour and ended with independent travel time in London:

"Detailed collaboration with Trips to Walkabout over several months provided a worry-free experience as we traveled. Especially helpful was input for the last four days of our journey when we did self-guided touring of London. T2W guidance maximized our opportunities to enjoy all the key places we desired."

Eric calls it a French donut, I call it a "duffin." Our nephew Timothy came for breakfast today and he agrees, so duffin it is. Maybe when we have fancy company, I'll call it a "French morning duffin."

Whatever you call it, this little treat is stiffed with seasonal fruit and is delicious with tea or coffee. It will definitely find its place in our rotating breakfast items at Bank Street B&B. 👌

Had a lovely chat with one of our favorite Parisian tour guides, who also happens to be from Mexico and she told me about this company in Mexico City. Can honestly say I've never seen this on an about page, I freaking love this group! ❤️ This is the difference between booking tours blindly online vs using a knowledgeable travel advisor -- we connect you with the people who actually make a positive difference in the places they operate.

Made my day reading this email from one of our favorite travel clients:
"Our girl made it home, and she had an AMAZING time! The trains were perfect, and she had to video the hotel room to show off how nice it was! She said that of all of her friends, her train schedule was the best, the smoothest, and got her to where she needed to be the quickest - it's obvious that you are in the know, and we are grateful! Thank you for taking such great care of us once again!"

Ireland has always been a special place for us, and it remains the only country that we continually return to. And it's because of the wonderful people we meet.

People like Elaine & Phil of who take the time to get to know you, to teach you a bit of hurling, and treat you to a picnic in a castle garden. These are our friends and partners, the very people who ensure our clients (and ourselves) leave Ireland with a full understanding of what makes this place so incredible.

Anyone can build you an itinerary, but only a rare few can capture the Irish experience in such a way that you leave feeling like you grew up here. Like you've come home.

The real Ireland awaits, and we can help you discover it! 🇮🇪

Sorry Cork, we may not explore as much of you as I thought. With views like this right outside our door, I just really don't want to leave our cottage. Finding our happy place on the Seven Heads Peninsula walks.

There are so many beautiful places to walk in Ireland, besides the national hiking routes. Could spend a lifetime trying to walk all of these paths. ❤️🥾☘️
