Winter Newsletter

Season’s greetings! I’m sure, like me, the bitter cold has you yearning for warmer climes.

 

I hope that my last newsletter of the year may provide some inspiration along with an opportunity to say a big thank you to everyone for all the lovely referrals I have received in recent months - it really means a lot.

 

Your wonderful holiday reviews and kind testimonials are a joy to receive and help a small business like mine share what I do with others who may need my services.

 

Keep your eyes on my social media for further tips about what destinations I am recommending and booking for the year ahead. I have already confirmed trips to Chicago, Stockholm and Japan.

 

I was honoured to be given an 'Outstanding Achievement Award' in recognition of the hard work that I have been putting into my online presence at a wee get together with colleagues down in freezing Essex this month.

 

And closer to home, it was fantastic to be a part of a local wedding showcase and proudly display my lovely new banner and flyers.

 

Enjoy reading the fabulous pieces below and I’ll sign off for 2022 with a few of my essential travel tips:

 

Allow me to give you inspiration!

So often clients say that they didn't want to get in touch until they knew what they wanted to do. I'm always happy to make suggestions. I know which twin-centres are easy to combine and I am booking a variety of holidays daily, whether it's family adventures to Costa Rica or a honeymoon to the Galapagos.

 

Avoid the school holidays if you possibly can

Availability and costs are much better.

 

Check your passports and insurance cover

Many of us haven't travelled in a few years so these things may have been forgotten.

 

Book in advance and plan ahead

Always the top tip! People are travelling again and more frequently; availability is limited, and prices are inevitably going up. Lock the best prices in sooner than later.

 

Thanks for your amazing support.

 

Happy holidays and warm wishes for 2023.

Testimonials & Client Blogs

It’s always a pleasure to get feedback. And for an independent travel expert, good word of mouth is really important. A huge thank you to everyone that has taken the time to write about my services or their holiday, and share their precious photos. It means the world to me...

 

If I have helped you with a trip or holiday, 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.
