We got off the plane and out of habit immediately turned on our mobile phones. It’s true. We were in a place with no mobile connection. This is when you know you’re travelling somewhere a little off the beaten track.

On your travels - where will 2018 take you?
With another year all wrapped up, and one where I did the most travelling ever, I need to challenge myself by setting the “travel bar” even higher in 2018. I have quite a few things already booked, but have made sure to leave room to squeeze in a few unexpected jaunts, whilst I continue to arrange some amazing trips for my clients.
Maybe like me, you are starting 2018 with a New Year’s resolution to travel more or try something new?
I hope you might find some inspiration from this short list of travel related things I’m looking forward to in 2018.

I’m here to help make 2018 a fabulous travel year for you.
