The Google flight filter information was super helpful! Thanks 🙂

Great tips! Knowing when the school holidays are is very helpful. Many families go to the museums and other attractions during the school break, making the experience…uh…not fun.

Hi! I love your videos :) I'm not sure if you already have a video like this, but I think it would be interesting to see a video on you booking a trip from scratch for an a client. Whenever I plan a trip for myself or for the family, I always debate "where should I start" once I know where we want to travel. Also, I tried clicking on your digital travel planner link and the link is not working.

What is a good month to visit? I don’t want to visit when it’s sweltering
