How to Choose the Perfect Holiday for You
(Even If You Have No Idea Where to Start)
Let’s be honest—choosing a holiday shouldn’t feel like a second job.
And yet, here we are: 27 tabs open, five half-formed ideas, and a vague dream of “somewhere sunny but not too hot, peaceful but not boring, and ideally under budget."
Sound familiar?
Whether you’re planning for yourself, your family, or your future sanity—this guide is here to help you figure out exactly what kind of holiday you actually need.
Step 1: know your "why"

Before you start Googling beach resorts or scrolling endlessly on Instagram, ask yourself this:
What do I want from this trip?
Are you…
• Escaping everyday stress?
• Celebrating a milestone or relationship?
• Reconnecting with your family or partner?
• Exploring somewhere totally new?
• Recovering from burnout or busyness?
Your “why” shapes the vibe of your whole holiday. A week of silence in the mountains won’t serve the same purpose as a spontaneous tapas-and-dancing city break. Get clear on your intention first—then we build from there.
Step 2: Choose Based on Personality, Not Just Place

The right holiday for you depends more on your lifestyle than a pretty photo.
Here’s how to match your trip with your travel type:
List of Services

For the Budget-Conscious Dreamer:Item Link
You want magic—without the massive price tag.
• Best fit: Shoulder-season gems, shorter-haul options, or places where your pound goes further.
• Ask me: I’ve got loads of secret spots up my sleeve.
Step 3: Filter by Season, Not Just Destination
Once you know your vibe, let’s match it with real-world conditions.
• Want sunshine? Don’t book Asia during monsoon season.
• Love snow? Head to the Alps or Scandinavia, not just anywhere with mountains.
• School holidays only? Look for destinations with reliable weather in peak times—hello Canary Islands and Greece.
Also consider:
• Flight time (are you happy with 4 hours or 14?)
• Jet lag (especially with kids in tow)
• Budget sweet spots (some long-haul destinations are cheaper once you’re there)
Step 4: The Lazy Genius Decision Tree
A week to do absolutely nothing → All-inclusive beach resort
Sun and exploring → Island-hopping or city/coast combo
Quiet with a purpose → Retreat or cultural tour
A new adventure → Wildlife, jungle, or hiking-based trip
The most you can get for your budget → Tailored deal based on your wish list (that’s where I come in)
Look, we get it.
Some people love researching, building spreadsheets, and cross-referencing Tripadvisor reviews.
If that’s your jam—go for it!
But if you:
• Don’t have time
• Can’t deal with faff
• Want peace of mind knowing it’s all sorted properly
…that’s literally what we're here for.
