25 REASONS TO BOOK WITH ME YOUR PERSONAL TC!
With conference fast approaching, Head Office have set some challenges. One being vlogging- something that filled me with sheer horror when they announced it (what was I worrying about writing my first blog for, writing is easy, well easier than seeing yourself on camera!) However with the prospect of winning a dream holiday, I have gone way beyond my comfort zone and got in front of the camera in various states of array: no make-up, out of breath, even in my swimwear, to tell everybody 25 reasons why you should book with me. If there is one thing I have learnt, it's that I am not going to be the next fortysomething vlogger or YouTube sensation, but my youngest daughter might be, she is a natural in front of the camera and got more likes than mum! You can watch my vlogs on Facebook, if not for seeing me almost falling off a paddleboard, then to see the beautiful places I visited in the Seychelles. Still not convinced, then here they are:
