Barcelona City Break
I wanted to take Paul and the kids away for a city break so we opted for Barcelona. I managed to find really good flights travelling in April with Easyjet, and we opted for the 4* Aramunt Apartments in the Eixample district for 3 nights.

My Swedish Lapland Adventure
I was given the opportunity to sample the delights of Swedish Lapland courtesy of Simply Sweden and to say I was excited was an understatement. Most people hear the word Lapland and will almost certainly think of Father Christmas. Swedish Lapland is completely different and you will not see the big man himself here!

Marrakesh & Essaouira
I was really excited to be on the Trip to Marrakesh and Essaouira with 40 fellow Travel Counsellors. It was always somewhere I wanted to explore but never got round to it. My journey started on the 22nd March with the early flight out of Gatwick to Marrakesh. Upon arrival we were greeted by our hosts for the next few days and taken straight to the Movenpick Hotel Mansour Eddhabi, our home for t
