Fresh off an incredible deep dive training session with My St. Kitts Tourism Board! 🌴🇰🇳🧡

St Kitts is quietly one of the best kept secrets in the Caribbean - uncrowded, naturally vibrant, and brimming with authentic character. If you’ve been dreaming of an island escape that feels real and under the radar, here is why St Kitts should be on your list:

🐒 Easy Travel & Logistics: BA flights twice weekly from Gatwick with just a quick touchdown in Antigua or Virgin via Barbados, simple digital entry and you drive on the left. The single main ring road makes exploring effortless and yes, the wild vervet monkeys actually outnumber the 40,000 locals!

🍻 Authentic Vibe & Great Value: St Kitts intentionally avoids massive all inclusive chains to support local business. Enjoy roadside fish grills, fresh lobster, and farm dining - with local beers around £3–£4 and main meals around £6, your spending money goes so much further.

🩴 Sensational Twin Centre Options: Hop across to quiet sister island Nevis in 15 minutes by water taxi or pair St Kitts seamlessly with Antigua or Barbados.

🚂 Unique Island Adventures: Home to the only expanding rainforest in the Caribbean, dramatic ch*****ne gold and volcanic black beaches, historic fortresses and the last scenic steam railway in the West Indies (with an onboard bar!).

🛎 Stays for Every Style: From cliffside luxury at Sunset Reef and private pool villas at BelleMont Sanctuary, to 5* ocean views at Park Hyatt or charming, barefoot style apartments in Frigate Bay.

I’ve shared some official tourism photos so you can see the beauty for yourself! 📸

I’m currently putting together a few hand picked options and pricing for St Kitts - I’ll be dropping those right here on the page tomorrow, so keep an eye out if you fancy some Caribbean inspiration! ☀️🧡

Aaannndd breathe...🧡

Thank you so much for all the lovely comments and messages over the last couple of days. Between marking 5 years in business and sharing the new look, it’s been a whirlwind!

Today is all about getting back to the details and keeping things moving behind the scenes. On today's desk list:

🇲🇽 Checking if October 2027 Mexico flights are live yet for an early-bird client

✈️ Double checking departure docs for clients flying out next week

✔️ Online check in reminder for 2 bookings

☀️ Putting together a group trip quote for Benidorm

🌊 Following up on some quotes for some incredible itineraries - Hawaii, New Zealand, Greece, and a couple of bucket list cruises!

🌴 Squeezing in a destination training session on St Kitts this afternoon - have you been? I stopped once on a cruise and would LOVE to go back!

It’s definitely a mixed bag today, but that’s honestly the best part of the job.

Right, time to dive back into the spreadsheets and crack on with these! Hope you’re all having a great week! 🧡

Did you catch a sneak peek of the new logo in my 5 year anniversary post yesterday? 👀🧡

Today is a fresh new day and the official start of Year 6 for Travel with Carly! To celebrate, I’ll be updating my profile pictures, cover photos, and banners across my pages today to give everything a fresh new look.

I also have to send a huge thank you to Emma at Mumbo Designs for working with me (and all my countless pieces of feedback!) to get the new logo absolutely perfect and for creating my beautiful new business cards. 😘

I always treat my social media pages like my digital shopfront. It’s where I put my latest travel offers in the window, share a little bit about who I am and showcase exactly what I offer as an independent travel agent.

The absolute best part about having a digital shopfront instead of a physical one? You can look in my windows from absolutely anywhere right from your phone! You can browse my holiday inspiration on your lunch break or chat with me about your next trip from the comfort of your sofa.

But there is one catch: unlike a high street shop...I don't have a bell on the door and I can't actually tell you're window shopping unless you let me know!

So if you see a post you enjoy, an offer that catches your eye or a destination you'd love to visit, please do give it a like, save it for later or drop a quick comment. It’s the digital equivalent of waving through the shop window or saying hello and it is the best way for me to know what kind of holidays you want to see more of! 👋✈️

Happy window shopping, and let me know what you think of the new look! 😁🧡

Five years ago today, Travel with Carly officially took flight! 🥂✈️🧡

What started as a massive passion for exploring the world has grown into the most incredible journey of helping all of YOU do exactly the same. From hitting "launch" on day one to waving you off on your dream escapes, the time has absolutely flown by.

I am so incredibly grateful for every single booking, recommendation, and message of support over the last half a decade. This business is built on your trust, and getting to be a small part of your lifelong memories is the greatest privilege.

Grab a glass of something bubbly and swipe through to take a little walk down memory lane with me - and to see where we are heading next! Here is to the next chapter of unforgettable adventures. 🌍

📸 I saw this post on mumsnet.com today and I couldn’t disagree more! Call me biased because of what I do, but I LOVE seeing your holiday photos!

I love seeing where you went, how you got there, what you ate, the gorgeous views, and yes - even the 53 sea selfies! There is nothing better than seeing friends, family, and clients making incredible memories, enjoying life, and soaking up the sunshine.

For me, seeing people happy on holiday doesn't feel like "broadcasting for validation" - it's just sharing joy! In fact, if seeing someone you know having a brilliant time on holiday annoys you, are you really a friend to that person? Life is far too short not to celebrate the good times together!

So consider this a safe zone: SPAM ME WITH YOUR HOLIDAY SNAPS! ☀️
