If I’m totally honest, I’m all about the luxury travel. I know that for some people, travel is all about experiencing the local culture and that a bit of luxury is an added bonus. I’m not one of them – a bit of luxury makes a holiday for me. Don’t…

It’s 2018 – Happy New Year everyone! I always get reflective at this time of year and like to kick-off the year with a few goals. I won’t call them resolutions, they’re more things I want to work towards and start doing more of. I always think that actually spending…

A few weeks ago we visited Lapland. We felt the kids are a perfect age to really experience the magic. We booked the Enchanting Day Trip to Lapland with Canterbury Travel. We’d spent a bit of time researching and the reviews from those who had done Lapland with Canterbury Travel were…
