With many businesses working across a global marketplace, it’s become much more common for employers to send their team abroad for business.

London is truly something special to behold for international travellers, but England has so much more to offer than just the (admittedly rather wonderful) capital city. And much of it is just a short distance away, which means you could quite comfortably combine a post-lockdown London holiday with one or all of the incredible vacation options below. These ‘on your…
2020 has dramatically changed the way we travel. Borders have shut, social distancing is the new normal, and masks look like they’re here for the foreseeable future. Just because it’s different, doesn’t mean you can’t take a much-deserved trip. You need to be aware of the new rules in place. How can you stay safe while travelling? Be Prepared You…
Vacations. They’re not just an excuse for taking stylish selfies and buying cheesy t-shirts (although both those things are great fun).

Here are some of my favourites: You’ll Fall in Love with Local…
When you’ve got that crucial client meeting on the horizon, the number one priority is winning them over and convincing them they made the right choice in selecting your services.

London is one of the most visited cities in the world, both by Brits and those from abroad.

What comes to your mind when you think of Portugal and its capital, Lisbon? Perhaps its colonial past, fortified wine, Fado music, seafood, or those beautiful pastel-coloured properties?

February 2020 we took an epic family road trip around California. One big draw for us as a family is that we could have sea/beach and mountains in one trip.

Hotels are necessary for travellers and considered to be the first concern when planning a trip. At first, hotels should be secure and safe. They should take good care of people and make their stay as pleasant as possible. If a guest has left an item at home, for example, a phone charger or laptop cable, usually the hotel comes…
Let’s be honest. No one wants to have their trip of a lifetime cut short because they’ve run out of money.
