It's Nice To Meet You

My name is Peridot, I live in Cottingham, East Yorkshire with my husband and two children and I love to travel !!

I have been in the travel industry for 30 years and have travelled extensively all around the world including most of Europe, Australia and New Zealand, USA and Canada and most of it with two children in tow!

I am passionate about travel and experiencing new cultures. Luckily, my family share my passion and are always excited as to where I have been researching for our next trip ! We do have our favourites though Barbados being one and snowboarding and skiing in Austria being the other. As the years have gone by we have explored other parts of the world for winter sports and Canada is now up there with one of our favourites!

Creating bespoke trips for my clients is something I take pride in and I just love researching new places that are waiting to be discovered.

I look forward to hearing from you soon whether it be for a weekend break in the UK , family beach holiday, Skiing holiday, tailormade trip around the world or just for some inspiration for your next trip.

Happy travels...

Navigating skiing holidays with the little ones...

Navigating skiing holidays with the little ones...

As a family we have now been on many ski holidays, our earlier trips pre children included long days on the slopes and then even longer nights on the apres ski! Navigating the mountains with children is a whole other ball game... I thought I would share some top tips to make it that little bit easier because if you can get through those early years then you will be rewarded when you are skiing dow

Hot springs & cold star gazing !

Hot springs & cold star gazing !

Having a birthday mid-January is always a rubbish time for a birthday so to make it more exciting I booked a little trip to Iceland for my husband as a surprise! We flew out from Manchester to Keflavik early on the Tuesday morning with Easyjet, great flight in just under 3 hours. We landed onto a very snowy runway and headed over to pick our hire car up from the depot. I took this opportunity t

Ice skating and nintendo shopping!

Ice skating and nintendo shopping!

A trip to New York is on most people’s wish list so when I told my two children, Luke (8) and Sophie (5) that we would be going to New York for a few days on our way to Barbados I had mixed reactions. Sophie - "I don't want to go to New York mummy, I don't like shopping!" Luke - "Will there be a Nintendo shop?!" I was beginning to think it may have been a mistake but as it was for their Gran

Jammin in Jamaica. Ya mon !

Jammin in Jamaica. Ya mon !

It was the Caribbean that took our fancy for this May's half term holiday. As a family we love the Caribbean, the people, the culture and of course the beautiful sandy beaches! (Ok so the rum punch is an attraction too!) We flew from Gatwick with Virgin Atlantic, who were very good and played The Greatest Showman on their inflight entertainment which Sophie had on loop for the full 9 hours I th

Sneaky escape to the sunshine...

Sneaky escape to the sunshine...

Well after a slightly rainy camping trip in Norfolk early in the summer holidays I decided a quick week in the sunshine was needed to finish off the school holidays - luckily my husband and children agreed with me! I have always wanted to go to Menorca, the smallest of the Balearic Islands so found a great deal and booked it. Flew from Leeds Bradford and within 3 hours we were on the ground in

Relaxing week with the family

Relaxing week with the family

Well its been a lovely Easter break with the little darlings! We decided, last minute, to take them away in the Uk for a fresh air and family time break! My husband's one request was that the cottage had to have a hot tub. So after a lengthy search I came across Shellduck cottage in Holmfirth, Nr Huddersfield. (Peak District). Looking at the photos it certainly ticked all of the boxes, so once

Barbados revisited!

Barbados revisited!

II'm back from yet another amazing holiday to the beautiful island of Barbados. We decided to go back again this time of the year due to it being the children's half term holiday but also it is the end of the low season in Barbados so prices are at their best this time of the year! The weather was just perfect, we did have a few tropical storms but they didn't dampen our mood (excuse the pun)

Trekking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, Peru

Trekking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, Peru

Hola! To say I have been blown away by my trip to Peru, South America would be an understatement ! It truly was a trip of a lifetime and I will never ever forget it. The story starts on our amazing flight with LAN airlines from Manchester via Madrid all the way over to Lima. 11 hours later we arrived refreshed and raring to get exploring this huge South American city. Wonderful beaches and

Austria

Austria

Well we are back with no broken bones and all in tact ! Snowboarding in Austria with our two children learning to ski was the most perfect way to start the Easter holidays. We looked at Zell Am See, Austria as it seemed a good option for us as a family .. due to the shortness of the flight from Leeds Bradford (2 hours), the transfer time at the other end (1 hour 20 minutes) and the number

Barbados

Barbados

What weather to come back to! Just returned from a family holiday to Barbados.. oh what a holiday it was ! Our best holiday ever according to our two children! It truly was a great destination for families. We stayed in Hastings which is on the South West coast, the hotel was the lovely family run Coconut Court. Being a 3 star hotel it didn't have all the facilities you'd find in a 4 or 5 star

Benna Benson

Hull

As it's possibly our last chance to travel any great distance, we wanted something very special. It was and remains important to us that we make the most of the opportunities we have. So our specifications were high even though it was a bit late in the season for our specific needs. Peridot found several compelling tailor-made options within the brief and our budget. She was more than happy to work with us to tweak it further into shape. Nothing was too much trouble.

S Barton

Peridot was brilliant and very patient, considering I kept changing my mind. I would definitely recommend her to others as she made the process so much easier than normal. I’m very excited about our holiday in July and feel confident that everything has been taken care of. Thank you

Wonderful personal service from Peridot. She tailor made my whole trip. No problem was too much.
