As we flip the calendar to 2025, I want to take a moment to reflect, celebrate, and share what’s ahead this year. Grab a cup of coffee (or your drink of choice), settle in, and let’s dive into this year’s first adventure together: this blog post!
Looking Ahead: 2025, Here I Come!
I’m starting the year with a bang—and by bang, I mean FREE travel resources! Soon, you’ll find a comprehensive Heathrow Airport guide on my website to make navigating one of the world’s busiest airports a breeze.
And that’s not all! I’ve poured my heart and soul into creating sample itineraries for two of my favorite destinations: New York City and Banff.
These guides are packed with my personal travel favorites, hidden gems recommended by locals, and insider tips that go beyond the guidebooks.
Already booked your trip but want a sprinkle of Mandy’s travel magic?
No problem! I can create a bespoke itinerary just for you. From secret speakeasies in NYC to the best hot chocolate spot after a day in Banff’s snowy wonderland, I’ve got you covered.
Reflecting on 2024: The Year of (Quietly) Busy Bees
If you’ve been wondering why it’s been a bit quieter on my social media channels lately, I promise, it wasn’t because I disappeared into the wilderness (although tempting).
It was because I’ve been working hard behind the scenes to bring you some truly exciting projects for 2025!
Also Mable, my beloved 2005 Transit campervan, decided 2024 was the year for a mechanical sabbatical. Yes, she’s been off the road for some much-needed repairs, but I’m thrilled to report she’s ready for action again! Massive thanks and shout out to Banton's Autos! These guys are amazing!

Expect tales of van life adventures, plenty of coffee-fueled road trips, and maybe a few misadventures involving Kado (the cat) and Zeus (the mischievous husky) trying to claim Mable as their kingdom.
Personal Adventures: Let’s Make 2025 Unforgettable
This year, Mable and I are hitting the road again!
I’ve got my sights set on some dreamy destinations, and Zeus, Bella, and Kali are ready to be my travel companions (Kado might need some convincing).
And here’s an exciting prospect: I’m planning a trip to New York City this September.
If you’ve ever dreamed of experiencing the Big Apple with an expert by your side, let me know!
If there’s enough interest, I’d love to formalize this into a group trip.
Imagine exploring iconic landmarks, sampling hidden foodie gems, and maybe even spotting a celebrity or two! (No promises, but I hear Balthazar in SoHo is the place to be.)
