Carla Hodgson

I started in the travel industry in 2002, that's a career spanning over 2 decades! It is a passion to travel the world and explore all the continents. Living and breathing and seeing how people live in other countries is a humbling experience, and gives you life long world appreciation and knowledge. Some of my favourite adventures have been off the beaten track, staying in lodgings and immerse myself in my new surroundings. I've travelled as a Solo traveller to Australia, a very empowering experience - yes you can do it alone! I've also travelled with a young baby and 2 young children to Australia and it was so easy and seamless. We often drive through Europe and enjoy road trip adventures - particularly in the motorhome, the best way to see a country from top to bottom - with your bed with you - you can literally go with the flow. I have a keen interest in Lapland and Disneyland Paris - holidays that are dreams come true for most families. And I love creating a bespoke tailor made trip for long haul and faraway destinations, USA, Australia, Far East, Safaris and more. There is no such thing as it can be done - if you have a travel dream, I can find it for you. With 22 years of expertise let me help you find your perfect holiday - whatever that may be.

Places that make me smile

Lapland

My favourite has to be Lapland - it is the ultimate dream for any child (or grown up) to visit Santa Claus in Lapland. I've been twice to different resorts to see him. The flights are full of excitable children (and adults) and it's heart warming to see all their happy smiley faces when they arrive. Lapland is so utterly enchanting and magical - there is simply no where like it on earth!
Disneyland

2nd favourite place is Disneyland Paris - I've been to the USA Disney worlds and this is by far my favourite. I've been every year since it opened in 1992 and hold an annual pass for myself and my family. For over 30 years I come back time and time again, I never get bored, and it's always so magical, I call it my Disney bubble. Now with new and exciting projects underway - Disneyland Paris is going to be even better than before.
USA

USA - my third favourite destination - why? Such a large Country and so much diverse and interesting things to see and do. It's like one giant film set - as a result of so many movies made here. From the Iconic New York, with great attractions such as the Statue of Liberty, The Empire State Building, Central Park and Times Square - it's an exciting destination to explore - perfect for a city break. Another favourite is San Francisco with the iconic Golden Gate Bridge and the Cable cars, plus Fisherman's Wharf with the resident Sea Lions resting on the pier. Who wouldn't want to see Las Vegas, a whole plethora of Stunning hotel and casinos - all dressed in Neon lights as the sun goes down - definitely a fun place to be. So many others - Los Angeles, San Diego, New Orleans, Memphis, Washington and Orlando - the list and possibilities are endless. You can spend years trying to visit them all.
