April Newsletter

Spring is my favourite time of the year but this one in particular, with the vaccinations being rolled out apace and restrictions starting to ease feels like a headlight of hope and the start of some kind of return to a more familiar way of life.


I can sense the excitement and buzz of being able to start travelling again as the world begins to slowly open up, so let’s start talking holidays...


Many clients and friends are celebrating milestones in the next couple of years. As well as the idyllic locations of powdered sandy white beaches, there seems to be a desire for something with a bit more bite!


It would appear one of the conclusions people are drawing from what we have been through is seeking to bring forward those dream bucket list trips and seizing the day to create special memories, especially with families and friendship group experiences.


Long haul travel seems to be leading the way - in particular, Thailand, with its diverse landscapes, incredible people and delicious street food, just three of its tempting offerings!


Safari holidays are also proving popular, and my latest bucket list suggestion is worth checking out.


I am hugely proud to have been part of a company for 15 years whose commitment to fantastic customer service has once again been rewarded as a deserving winner of ‘Best Online Agency’ at the renowned industry awards run by publishers, TTG media.

It is a great accolade to be voted by industry associates but one of the biggest contributing factors to our success has been, that as a company, we have only received positive reviews on social media in the last challenging 12 months and our Trustpilot rankings are incredible.


A MASSIVE ‘THANK YOU’ to all who continue to support me. Your testimonials and feedback are a source of great inspiration and you allow me to do what I LOVE to do most: helping people create lifelong memories.


Please stay safe and I look forward to chatting with lots of you and planning those deserved trips over the weeks and months ahead.


"My advice is free, and my knowledge is priceless!"

Reviews

It’s always a pleasure to get feedback from my clients but for me, as an independent travel expert, good word of mouth is really important.​

 

Would you consider posting a review about me online? It only takes a minute, but it helps other people learn about who I am and what I do.​
