Episode 16 - Is G Adventures Worth It? My Honest Experience

This week on Lattes, Luggage and Life, I'm taking you back to one of the most incredible trips I've ever experienced – Peru with G Adventures. From flying via Rio de Janeiro and exploring the streets of Lima, to tackling the altitude in Cusco, meeting alpacas in the Sacred Valley and standing in awe at Machu Picchu, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, I'm sharing what group travel is really like and why this trip completely changed my view of travelling with strangers. I'll also explain what a FAM trip is, how G Adventures works, their commitment to responsible tourism through their Ripple Score initiative, their Lifetime Deposit policy and the huge variety of adventures they offer around the world – from solo travel and family adventures to National Geographic Journeys and bucket-list expeditions. If you've ever looked at a destination and thought, "I'd love to go there, but I wouldn't know where to start," this episode is for you. 📧 Avandra@experienceitnowtravel.co.uk [Avandra@experienceitnowtravel.co.uk] 📱 WhatsApp: 07442 144889 📘 Facebook: Avandra Travel Services 📸 Instagram: @avandratravelservices 🎵 TikTok: @avandratravelservices 🎙️ New episodes of Lattes, Luggage and Life every Wednesday at 8am.

Episode 15 - Sunshine, Freedom and One Expensive Mistake

This week on Lattes, Luggage and Life, I've just returned from a week in Spain and I'm sharing why I've fallen back in love with villa holidays. From private pools and complete freedom to explore, to shopping like a local, day trips to Valencia and Benidorm, and even a rather expensive parking lesson that cost us €40, I'm giving my honest thoughts on villa holidays and whether I'd choose one over an all-inclusive. I'll also break down the costs of our trip, talk about the pros and cons of villa life, and explain why this holiday reminded me that sometimes the best memories come from slowing down and doing things at your own pace. So, are you Team Villa or Team All Inclusive? 📧 Avandra@experienceitnowtravel.co.uk [Avandra@experienceitnowtravel.co.uk] 📱 WhatsApp: 07442 144889 📘 Facebook: Avandra Travel Services 📸 Instagram: @avandratravelservices 🎵 TikTok: @avandratravelservices 🎙️ New episodes of Lattes, Luggage and Life every Wednesday at 8am.

Episode 13 - Roy’s Remembrance ❤️

This week on Lattes, Luggage and Life, I’m taking a step away from the usual travel tips and holiday stories to share something much more personal. Following the recent loss of my grandad, Roy, I wanted to dedicate this episode to the man who helped shape so much of my life. From holidays to Disneyland Paris and Butlins, to long walks, lifts to auditions, college interviews and job interviews, Grandad was always there. He was my best friend, my partner in crime and one of my biggest supporters. In this episode, I reflect on the memories we shared, how his time in the Navy may have inspired my love of ships and cruising, and the difficult journey our family experienced as we watched him live with Alzheimer’s over the past few years. I’ve also launched Roy’s Remembrance, where £10 from every booking made through Avandra Travel Services will be donated to the Alzheimer’s Society in his memory. Thank you for listening and allowing me to share a little bit of Roy’s story. 📧 Avandra@experienceitnowtravel.co.uk 📱 WhatsApp: 07442 144889 📘 Facebook: Avandra Travel Services 📸 Instagram: @avandratravelservices 🎵 TikTok: @avandratravelservices 🎙️ New episodes of Lattes, Luggage and Life every Wednesday at 8am.
