Becoming a more responsible traveller
Good travel should be enriching for everyone. It should bring you deeper into local cultures and give you an authentic taste of a destination, as well as having a positive impact on the communities and environments you visit.
That's why I'm excited to share that, as your Travel Counsellor, I now have access to a range of exclusive new itineraries to destinations such as Thailand and Costa Rica that have been developed with support from the Travel Foundation to deliver a more positive impact on these destinations.
This is the first time the Travel Foundation has worked with a travel company in such a way and each of these carefully curated trips is ATOL protected, so you can focus on creating connections and memories that will last a lifetime.
And remember, whenever you book your travel with me, I shall help offset your carbon usage by planting trees on your behalf in a UN Ecosystem restoration project through Trees4Travel.
If you’re interested in any of the trips featured in this newsletter, get in touch with me today.
