Travel has always been part of my life, and planning it is half the fun. Yes, I'm the one with twelve tabs open before every trip. Some of my most treasured memories are holidays with my husband and celebrations abroad with family and friends, and the more I travelled, the more I wanted to share it. Ikigai is finding purpose in what you love and do best, and that's exactly what led me to create Discerning Travels, a home for all kinds of travellers. Love planning your own holidays, the way I always have? Travel, Your Way is my travel blog: hotel reviews, travel stories and recommendations from the places I've actually been, with my own photography, to inspire your trips. Would you rather hand it over? I'm also an independent travel agent, so when you're ready to book, I'll take care of everything, with trusted suppliers, exclusive rates and ATOL and ABTA-protected peace of mind.
