“It has to be St Lucia. I had an amazing trip with my family for my 30th birthday.
“It was a twin centre holiday staying at Coconut Bay Beach Resort, which had everything my children could want and more, then moving onto the luxurious Sugar Beach to finish off the trip in style.
“Swimming in the sea in between the Pitons was definitely a highlight.”
“It’s definitely Thailand.
“Being one of our top destinations, it’s a crime I’ve still not been to this amazing place.
“There’s so much to see and experience. I will probably need a few trips to take it all in.”
“How could I ever forget visiting the penguin sanctuary in Betty’s Bay, near Cape Town, in South Africa? I mean, I just had to go.
“The views were amazing, the penguins were friendly and the memories will last forever.”
“Pack light. It’s something I’m still learning to do.
“Do your research before you visit your chosen destination. I always join a Facebook group for the places I’m visiting. This is a good way to get recommendations about the best attractions and activities.”
“Lastly, don’t be so British. Experience the local cuisine and culture. Push yourself to do something different.”
