One of my favourite holidays was an unforgettable journey I did along the West Coast of America, starting in the city of San Francisco. Known for its iconic Golden Gate Bridge, diverse neighbourhoods, and vibrant arts scene, San Francisco is the perfect place to kick off this holiday adventure. Also driving down the coast means […]

The day after the exciting new route from Cardiff to Doha was launched, with onward connections to 150 destinations worldwide, I and a group of top selling agents were given the chance to experience the new kid on the Arabian block first hand. We’re still not all 100% sure how to pronounce either the country […]

One of my most memorable holidays was a week in Karesuando, Finland on an Arctic Spirit adventure, I really cannot recommend this experience enough! Karesuando is a twin village located on both sides of the border between Finland and Sweden, situated approx 300km north of the Arctic Circle and located amid majestic, undisturbed and imposing […]

I wasn’t sure where to go this year, knew I wanted sunshine, all inclusive, some nice beaches and a bit of luxury so I went to Sandals Royal Caribbean in Jamaica and it was an excellent choice. I think you would find it hard to find a friendlier island in the Caribbean. Within around 45 […]

The Maldives has always been my dream destination and seeing as this year was a ‘big’ birthday I thought what better excuse to visit! After flying from Heathrow with a short stop in Abu Dhabi we arrived in Male in the afternoon, coming out into arrivals we went straight outside the terminal to the speed […]

Discover South America South America is one incredible continent. Why? Well, where do we begin! It’s full of incredible nature – from the Amazon Rainforest to the mighty Iguacu, there is so much to explore. There’s a fascinating indigenous heritage, think Machu Picchu, and lots of colonial history too, with many cities boasting plenty of […]

My trip started with the best surprise, a Business Class upgrade from Qantas! This meant fast track security, access to the lounge and the best bit a seat on the plane which converted into a fully flatbed! The food, service and entertainment on board was fantastic the flight literally ‘flew’ by! We arrived late and […]

We took off with United Airlines from Heathrow Terminal 2 at 10:35 Thursday morning after a relaxing 2 hours in the airport lounge tasting some great food and a cocktail or two. The flight was about […]
