On your travels - where will 2018 take you?

January 1, 2018

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.  If you would like some more information on the ideas below, or you have some wonderful ideas of your own that you would like help turning in to a reality, please do get in touch.  I’m here to help make 2018 a fabulous travel year for you.

Bed Hopping in Kenya

December 8, 2017

Kenya is the elder statesman.  The iconic home of safaris and the mould from which all others have been cast.  Just the name Kenya conjures up “Out of Africa” images of vast savannahs dotted with acacia trees, migratory herds ploughing through rivers and spear carrying men in Maasai red tribal outfits.  But although Kenya is famous for its sheer volume of game, it’s also a place where you can easily combine safari with culture and a raft of other activities.  I mean where else can you have breakfast with giraffes, watch a migratory river crossing, discover life with locals tribes people, return from your bush breakfast by camel, view game from horseback, track the endangered rhino and chill out on the beach…..all in one holiday?  Well, that’s exactly what you can do on a trip to Kenya.

Finding yourself in fascinating Fez

November 3, 2017

Fez is often overlooked.  Despite it being Morocco's former capital and its oldest imperial city dating back to the 9th Century, many tourists heading to Morocco looking for a whiff of exoticism only ever seem to get as far as Marrakech.  But if you are interested in a more traditional and authentic Moroccan experience, then you really should head to Fez.  Which is what Julian and I did on our recent trip to Morocco; flying into Casablanca (direct from Manchester) and taking the train to Fez.

Pizza, Pompeii and Piaggios - A Short Break to Naples

September 7, 2017

Mention you are heading to Naples for the weekend and people look at you with fear on their faces and come out with comments like: "Isn’t it dangerous?" or "I had some friends who went once and they felt very uneasy the whole time".

Poor Naples, it really does have a bit of a bad reputation.  Yes, it’s chaotic, noisy and a little edgy in places, but it’s also captivating and in its own way quite beautiful.  Let’s face it, the Italians definitely know how to do a good city and Naples, sitting in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius, is no exception.
