Hello and welcome to my autumn round-up.

It’s been a whirlwind summer that has included settling in with my new team at Designer Travel and indulging in some much-needed tropical getaways. My Grenada tan was barely fading before I found myself exploring the stunning Maldives. I even took a leap and tried my hand at narrating some room tours! I hope they give you a glimpse of where I stayed and maybe even inspire your next adventure.

My new colleagues have been fantastic, and our recent Maldives educational trip showcased Designer Travel’s strong industry connections and exceptional supplier relationships. I’m excited to announce that I’ve added several new tour operators to my travel partners portfolio.

Alongside planning your wonderful trips, I’ve kept up with my tennis game and am thrilled that some fellow players are entrusting me with their holiday plans.

I’m chasing the sun one more time this year with a return to Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah before winter sets in. I’m also focusing on boosting my presence on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn, so feel free to follow and share my posts - it really helps!

If you’ve got any travel reviews or feedback, I’d love to feature them on my website.

As always, I’m here for all your travel planning needs – because you know I love to talk holidays!

Thank you for your continued support.
