my "fantastic 5" April Shortlist (single artwork)
If April had a personality, she’d definitely be the balancer ⚖️
It’s that total sweet spot where the world is finally waking up, but the summer crowds are still hitting snooze.
If you’re looking to sneak away this month, here is my personal big five shortlist:
🇨🇷 Nature lovers! Flock to Costa Rica. It’s turtle nesting season and honestly? It’s life-changing
🇮🇹 History buffs, head to Rome. The city’s birthday is April 21st and the energy in the streets is just...electric!
🇮🇩 Beach fans, fly to Bali. The dry season is just starting, so everything is impossibly lush and green
🇯🇵 Families head to Japan. Cherry blossoms + seamless travel = win for parents
🇲🇦 For adventure, Morocco is perfect for trekking weather before that intense Sahara heat really kicks in
So, which one makes your list?

unsung islands (carousel)
I’ll be honest, I’m not looking for the ‘next big thing ‘ 🤫
Personally, I’m looking for the places the crowds HAVEN’T found yet, and so are my clients.
There’s a specific kind of peace you find on an island that isn’t on every single top 10 list.
I’m talking about those spots where you can actually hear the ocean instead of a thousand camera shutters clicking.
Absolute bliss! 🌊
I’ve been sourcing all kinds of trips lately, like the volcanic soil of Ischia and the untouched, emerald forests of Príncipe.
These are the kind of secret spots I save for my clients who just fancy a breather from the noise of the world.
Fancy my secret list of quiet islands for 2026? Drop a 🏝️ below if you’d love me to send it to you!

Myth vs. Reality: Proximity Edition (reel)
Audio suggestion: “Mystery of Love”
The myth 👉 You have to fly 10+ hours to have a soul-shifting experience.
Here’s the truth…
Some of the most beautiful cultures and wildest landscapes I’ve found aren’t actually that far away! 🌍
I’ve seen clients find more zen in a slow-travel weekend in the Alentejo or a misty morning in the Dolomites than on a frantic two-week long-haul trip...
…though I’ll never say no to a long-haul adventure!
In my experience, you don't actually need jet lag to feel like you've been to another world.
You just need a travel expert who can point you to the right hidden corner (hiya!)🥂
Double tap if you love the idea of a short-haul mindful escape 🌱🌴

The Caribbean Blue Mood Board (reel)
Audio Suggestion: “Caribbean Blue”
There are 50 shades of blue, and I’m pretty sure most of them live in the Caribbean! 🌊
I’ve spent a lot of time researching (okay, mostly just staring at) the horizons of St. Barts, the BVIs, and Turks & Caicos.
Every island has its own signature "blue".
Argh, it’s just stunning! 🌴
What I adore most, though, is how that colour makes you feel the second you see it from your hotel balcony or on a sunset stroll. It feels like heaven, doesn’t it?
Let me know what kind of blue you’re craving right now 🏝️
Atlantic Ocean...
Shallow turquoise water…
Light and bright, or deep and mysterious?

Made in the Med: The 2026 Edit (carousel)
Seriously, there’s something about the Med that makes it more than just a place on a map 🍋
When I’m planning a Med escape, I’m looking for the soul of the place.
I want to make sure it matches my client’s vibe perfectly.
I feel like 2026 is all about slowing down and actually being in the moment 🦥
My clients are craving authentic moments like meeting the people behind the places, cultural tours that aren't boring, and trips that feel more meaningful than just another holiday.
Is it just them, or are you feeling this too?
I’m currently setting up trips that include private studio visits and vineyard lunches with the families who actually run them.
This is slow luxury at its best! 🥂

5km from Magaluf, 100 miles from the Noise (single artwork)
I’m going to let you in on a little Mallorca secret...🤫🇪🇸
Be honest, when you think about Magaluf, do you think of neon lights and loud nights? 🍺
Well, just 5km south is Portals Vells, and honestly, it feels like another planet.
No, really!
We're talking beautiful pine forests, rocky outcrops, and tiny, hidden calas with water so clear you can count the pebbles.
No crowds.
No noise.
Just a plate of incredible paella at El Repós and a walk to the sea caves 🌊
Sometimes the best places are just hiding exactly where you’d never think to look!

Ultra-Lux: Lake Como (Reel)
Audio Suggestion: “Love Me Not”
Lake Como is a classic for a reason, but where you actually stay completely changes the story of your trip 🇮🇹
There’s luxury, and then there is Lake Como luxury…
It’s a very specific blend of old-world history and modern-day polish.
You’ve got the legendary gardens of Villa d'Este and the soulful and home-away-from-home vibe at Passalacqua.
Honestly, my personal obsession!
I’ve narrowed down the 5 hotels that actually live up to the hype for 2026.
Swipe right to see them 🥂
If you're planning a Como escape, don't just book a room. Book a memory!
🌟 Save these top five and my details for when you’re looking for ultra lux in Lake Como (or anywhere!)

Up Close & Personal: The New Way to Travel (Single Image)
In 2026, I’m seeing a big shift. We’re swapping sightseeing for soul-seeing 🌺
We’ve all done the big tours and crowded photo ops.
Now my clients are asking for something much deeper…
🍷 They want to know the winemaker's name
🍝 They want to learn how to cook pasta from a Nonna in her own sun-drenched kitchen
🍇 They want those private, unlisted moments you just can't find on a booking site…
This is what I love most!
Finding those intimate stories that you’ll still be talking about years later is literally what it’s all about for me, and hopefully yours too.
Send me a message and tell me where you’d love to get up close and personal next 🌍💻

Honeymoon Couple's Vibes (Reel)
Audio Suggestion: Yamore
The biggest honeymoon mistake I see?
Feeling like you have to choose between an adventure and a tan 💍
I mean, why pick one when you can have both?
I love mapping out what I like to call multi-mood honeymoons.
Imagine 4 days of Australasian adrenaline…helicopters over the Reef or hiking in NZ…
Followed by 10 days of Indian Ocean stillness in an overwater villa 🏝️
I’m currently booking for 2026/27 honeymoons tailored to suit your couple’s vibe.
DM me HONEYMOON and let’s start the mood board! 🥂
Which couple vibe are you?

Destination Spotlight: Middle East vs. Africa (comparison carousel)
It’s the ultimate travel dilemma… architectural wonder or the raw soul? 🐪🦁
I get asked this all the time!
The Middle East is where the future meets the past.
Futuristic skylines, ancient ruins in Jordan, and incredible, high-end hospitality that's just...next-level! 🇯🇴
Africa, on the other hand, is a heartbeat. It’s raw and as wild as you want it to be.
It honestly changes you; you won’t come back the same!
One is about what humans can build; the other is about what nature has protected.
Which one is pulling at your heart today? Let me know in the comments! 🌍👇

Short-Haul Survival Kit (Carousel)
8 things I never, and I mean NEVER, board a short-haul flight without ✈️📦
Just because the flight is under 3 hours doesn't mean we have to land feeling like a mess.
In my personal short-haul survival kit to keep things civilised is…
💤 A silk eye mask (my "do not disturb" sign).
🎧 Noise-cancelling headphones (absolute must).
🌫️ A hydrating face mist (the air is so drying!).
[Add your other favourites here!].

Global Vibe Check (reel)
Four regions. Four totally different vibes. Which one are you? 🌍
I’m currently looking at the map for the rest of the year, and these four spots are the ones my clients are loving right now:
🐫 The Middle East – Bold, opulent, and transformative
🦒 Africa - Raw, untamed, and soulful
🏝️ Indian Ocean - Pure, barefoot, blue luxury!
🦘 Australasia - Wild, vast, and adventurous
My job isn't just to book a flight; much of it is matching your energy to the right corner of the world 🌍✈️
Which vibe do you need in your life right now? 🥂

EMAIL #1: SHOULDER SEASON SENSATION
Subject: The golden window you might be missing…🥂
Body:
Hi [Client Name],
I was sitting at my desk this morning, looking at the madness of the mid-summer travel charts, and I realised something I had to share with you.
While everyone else is currently scrambling to book those peak July and August dates, dealing with the 38°C heatwaves, the 45-minute wait for a pasta table, and those seasonal price hikes, I have clients doing something much smarter…
They’re booking their shoulder season escapes!
If you haven’t experienced this kind of trip yet, let me paint the picture for you:
Imagine walking through the streets of Florence or the white-washed alleys of Paros and actually hearing the birds chirping instead of just camera shutters.
The weather is that perfect sweater or breezy-linen-temperature. You can actually hike, explore, and shop without needing a siesta every two hours to escape the sun.
This is the best part. Because the masses aren't there, your budget stretches so much further. That boutique hotel you loved? It’s suddenly 30% less, and they’ve upgraded you because they have the space.
So, where am I looking right now for the sensation factor?
Portugal in Late September: The Atlantic breeze is still warm, the surf is iconic, and the seafood tastes better when you aren't sharing the terrace with 500 other people.
The Amalfi Coast in May: Before the summer humidity hits. The lemons are huge, the flowers are blooming, and you can actually get a seat on the ferry without a fight.
Morocco in October: The desert heat has softened into something magical, making the souks a dream to navigate.
I’ve cleared a few spots in my calendar this week, specifically to chat with those of you looking to skip the crowds and find these quiet, beautiful windows of time.
If this sounds like your vibe, reply to this email and let me know one place you’ve always wanted to see without the queues. I’d love to help you find the sweet spot for your next escape.
Warmly,
[Your Name]
EMAIL #2: Destination spotlight: Golden window
Subject: The best thing I ever saw in [Destination].
Body:
Hi [Name],
I was looking back through some old travel photos this morning, and I stopped at one from [Month/Year] in [Destination].
I remember the exact moment it was taken. I’d just spent the afternoon wandering through [specific place, e.g., a quiet olive grove / a tiny side street in the Marais] and I realised something...
The things we remember most about our trips aren't usually the big, famous landmarks, it’s everything inbetween!
It’s the way the light hit the water at 6pm. It’s the smell of the bakery around the corner from the hotel. It’s the conversation with the waiter who told us the real history of the town.
That’s the kind of soul-seeing I’m constantly looking for when I’m designing trips for my clients.
If you’re feeling like your 2026 needs a bit more of this, I’m currently opening up my diary for [month] bookings.
You might be craving a quiet Mediterranean escape or a wild African heartbeat! Whatever it is, I’ll help you find a place that actually moves you.

Blog #1 title: Reasons to Trade the Search Engine for a Travel Designer
Ok, let’s be honest. Anyone can click "book" on a website, but in a world of endless tabs and "top 10" lists that all look the same, how do you actually know you’re actually getting the best version of your trip?
Well, here are three reasons why my clients continue to trade the DIY struggle for a dedicated travel planner (hi, that’s me!).
1. I have the unlisted secrets
It’s true. I spend my days researching the corners of the world that don't make it onto the first page of Google. A boutique hotel that only has 6 rooms, a private guide who knows the quietest time to visit the Trevi Fountain – you name it. I’m giving you access to personalised travel on a whole other level.
2. I’m Your "In-Case-of-Emergency" Human
Flight cancelled?
Hotel overbooked?
When you book with an independent agent, you aren't calling a 0800 number and waiting on hold for two hours. You’re calling me. I’m in your corner from the second you leave your house until you’re back home with a suitcase full of memories.
3. I Design for the Vibe, Not Just the Destination
A website doesn't know if you’re a "slow morning and long lunch" person or an "adrenaline and early starts" person. I do, though! I match your energy to the right hotel, the right region, and the right pace.
Got a trip in mind?
If you’re ready to skip the stress and skip straight to the good part (getting there), I’m happy to chat about your 2026/2027 travel plans and help you get them booked here [Link to contact page].
Blog #2: Why the Amalfi Coast is actually better in the Golden Window
The noise, the crowds, the queues – yes, this is a version of the Amalfi Coast that involves bumper-to-bumper traffic and elbowing through crowds in Positano, but there is another version, and it’s the one I want really you to see.
I call it the Golden Window.
If you head to the coast in late spring (say, April/May) or early autumn (September/October), the vibe completely shifts in the Amalfi Coast, and here are three simple reasons why it’s my personal favourite time to book a trip for my clients:
Spring Scents-sation
In April, the lemon groves are in full bloom. The air literally smells like heaven! It’s like a beautiful scent of Spring.
Tables Without the Wait
Imagine walking into that family-run trattoria and getting the best seat in the house without a three-week lead time… I can always recommend, plan and book your table so you don’t have to lift a finger!
The VIP Treatment
Hotel staff have more time to breathe, meaning you get that extra-personal touch that makes a holiday feel like a retreat. Voila!
My Insider Tip…
Don’t just stay in the big-name towns. Ask me about the hidden gems like Ravello or Praiano for a totally different perspective of the coast. I absolutely adore finding quaint places that are lesser-known but offer the same vibe-checks as those potentially crowded hotspots.
If you fancy the golden window version of Italy, I’m currently curating a few bespoke Italian escapes for later this year. Feel free to reply to this email or submit an enquiry here [Link to enquire].
