Hello!

There have been some big changes since my last newsletter - I'm thrilled to share that I'm now part of the Designer Travel team.

While it’s the same old Susan taking care of you just like always, I now have a fantastic, award-winning support team and some new travel partners behind the scenes. Plus, Amanda, my trusty colleague, is still here to help when I'm away.

Speaking of holidays, people often ask me where I'm off to next. I've got some amazing trips planned for the months ahead. I've even added an incredible world cruise to my wishlist - something to dream about!

I'll definitely be sharing my experiences, and if you've got a review of your own holiday, I'd love to include it on my website. Your stories are so inspiring to others.

When I'm not at my desk planning holidays, you can find me on the tennis court or attending training and local events to stay up-to-date with the latest in the travel world.

After a tough period at work, things are looking up, and I've got a lot to be excited about. I want to sincerely thank you for your continued support and all the lovely messages wishing me well.

If you can help spread the word about my website, newsletter and social media to your friends, family and colleagues, I'd really appreciate it. It means a lot to a small business like mine.

Wishing safe and happy travels to those heading out in the weeks ahead.
