Getting Married or Planning Your Honeymoon?
Firstly...huge congratulations! How exciting! Now the fun really starts, (or stressing as some couples might say). Weddings can be really challenging to plan, from picking the perfect venue, the perfect dress, bridesmaids, groomsmen, guests, planning the speeches, and if you agree with me and most married couples I know, the dreaded seating plan! Then comes the guest-list which is commonly a

Viva Las Vegas!
Having been to Vegas once before back in 2015, I had a slight advantage in that I knew exactly what to expect from the city that definitely never sleeps - I loved it then and I love it equally, if not more now! This trip was a little different being the start and finish points of a Californian Coastal Road Trip (further blog to follow). We started with a few days staying with good friends who m

Desirable Durban
Durban could quite possibly be the coolest city in South Africa that you have never seen, and everybody should go at least once in their lifetime. This unpretentious and multi-cultural city on the beach has temperatures reaching 28 degrees Celsius in the winter, a laid-back lifestyle, super-friendly locals and outstanding food (and coffee) so what's not to love? We started with a whistle-stop b

Kwazulu Natal South Africa: Big 5, Beaches and a taste of the ‘real’ Africa... continued
Day 7 – Khula/St. Lucia A shorter journey this time, around 1.5hrs to a rural Zulu village called Khula to meet the locals, enjoy their traditions and hospitality. We were welcomed into church by the town’s women, assisted with craft making, helped the local children with their school work, had a traditional tribal dance (with audience participation) and finished off with a visit to a tradition

Kwazulu Natal South Africa: Big 5, Beaches and a taste of the ‘real’ Africa
I have just been lucky enough to spend 12 days exploring the Kwazulu Natal Province of South Africa courtesy of the south African Tourist Board and British Airways and couldn't wait to share my experiences with you all! I've got so much to say it's spread over three blogs so be sure to check out the other two after reading this one! Kwazulu Natal is a year-round destination and in my opinion, i

Unforgettable Florence
On my first visit to the Capital of Tuscany, it was easy to understand why this gem of a city continues to captivate the heart of so many visitors year after year. Best seen on foot, a guided walk will take you on a relaxed tour of the city highlights. As you walk around the beautiful streets and enchanting alleyways, each turn you will find yourself face to face with a piece of history. Worl

Beautiful Prague
Prague is a tourist hot spot that never seems to go out of fashion, and after many years of “threatening” to visit, 2017 has finally seen me tick it off my bucket-list. My husband and I visited with my cousins from Up-North; as we never seem to be able to sync calendars in this country, they suggested it would actually be easier to catch up on my travels! This amazingly-preserved medieval ci

Mystical Marrakesch!
I have to report that Morocco is one destination that has truly taken me by surprise and exceeded my expectations in every way possible. It truly is a destination to stimulate all senses and interests. The sights, smells & tastes cannot be described in words or shown well enough in a picture to really do it justice, but I will try! I spent 3 nights at the beautiful Movenpick Manour Eddha

Which Cruise to Choose?
I often speak to clients, old and new who are wanting something “different” from their next trip and are looking for a little inspiration or advice on what to do/try. Whether it be an exotic long-haul adventure into the unknown, or something a little closer to home like a European city break. Lately I have spoken with quite a few of you who are thinking about venturing into the unknown and who

Exploring Cyprus
I was keen to find out what the dynamic island had in store for visitors in 2017 and beyond, now that Paphos has been awarded European Capital of Culture 2017. I also visited a selection of hotels which had undergone some major refurbishments since my last visit in 2003. Four days with the Cyprus Tourist Organisation gave me the perfect opportunity to do just this! There are few places in the w
