I love travel that takes me off the beaten track and shows me places, people and cultures different to those that I can experience at home. I enjoy surrounding myself with new environments and immersing myself in new ways of life. Whilst being not a million miles from home, travelling throughout Europe has certainly allowed me to do this.
Iceland is a spectacular country – a real land of contrasts, crammed with a stunning mix of landscapes created by both fire and ice. It’s the perfect destination to visit if you like to feel inspired by nature. By contrast, I love the countries of Southern Europe, Italy in particular, for its rich history and cultural heritage, and of course its delicious food and fantastic climate!

"Emma Jones who assisted me was extremely helpful and professional. She was exceptionally knowledgeable and where she needed to get additional information she was quick to find out. I was very impressed with everything."
"Emma is a major asset and long may she continue working for you. We would not have booked this holiday had it not been for her. She has always added the personal touch. We felt valued and she went out of her way to accommodate us. She is obviously an intelligent, warm, kind and caring person. She went above and beyond for us and we will always appreciate it."
"Emma got the brief spot on and was always on hand to help with queries."
"Emma was excellent - she listened to all my requirements requests and was thoughtful and informed in her responses. We had a wonderful trip as a result. Emma also made a number of small changes very patiently. Excellent service, thank you."
In Iceland, don't miss the fabulous experience of bathing in the Blue Lagoon and the many other geothermal hot spa pools surrounded by the beautiful Icelandic landscape.
If staying in Portofino, on Italy's northern coast, take a boat trip to the hidden village of San Fruttuso. This tiny 1500 year old settlement is built around a beautiful monastery and can only be accessed by boat.
Always travel with an open mind, be willing to try new activities, foods and experiences. The more you put in, the more incredible memories you will create and have to keep!
