November Blog – The Calm Before the Christmas Rush

Can you believe we’re in November already? The year seems to have flown by — and now we’re into that “countdown to Christmas” stretch where life gets just a little bit busier every week!

This is the perfect moment to take a breath before the festive chaos hits and start thinking ahead to your summer holidays or 2026 adventures.

Whether you’re planning a last-minute escape to recharge before Christmas, or want something exciting to look forward to in the new year, there are plenty of options waiting for you:

A tropical Christmas – Think palm trees, sunshine, and zero cooking. Fiji, the Cook Islands, and Vanuatu are still firm favourites for an easy, stress-free break.

Cruising into the New Year – Set sail across the Pacific, around Australia, or even through Southeast Asia. There are some fantastic deals around right now for early 2026 departures — perfect if you love having everything sorted in advance.

A magical winter getaway – Europe’s Christmas markets are calling! Wander through cobblestone streets, sip mulled wine, and enjoy the sparkle of the festive season in places like Germany, Austria, or France.

Plan your 2026 bucket-list trip – If next year’s the year for something big — maybe an African safari, a European river cruise, or exploring the Canadian Rockies — now’s the time to start dreaming and booking.

So before December arrives (and we all get swept up in the whirlwind of end-of-year celebrations), let’s get your travel plans sorted.

✨ Whether it’s a quick escape or a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, I’ll make sure everything’s smooth, stress-free, and perfectly tailored to you.

Until next time!
