  • Accessible Air Travel Tips with Phoenyx from Phoenyx Travels
    Apr 21 2026

    If flying feels overwhelming, exhausting, or like you're starting from scratch every single trip — this episode is for you.

    This week I'm joined by Phoenyx from Phoenyx Travels — a content creator and accessible travel expert who has built a reputation for honest, practical advice for disabled, chronically ill, neurodivergent and sensory-sensitive travellers. We're talking about her Flight Ready Travel Kit and everything she's learned about making air travel genuinely work for people whose bodies and brains don't follow the usual rules.

    This is part 4 of our special 4-part travel creator series — and this one might just be the most important episode of the four.


    In this episode:

    ✈️ Why most accessible travel advice doesn't actually help on real travel days

    🧳 What the Flight Ready Travel Kit covers and who it's designed for

    🗣️ How to ask for accommodations — even when words or energy are limited

    ⚡ How to pace your energy before, during and after a flight

    🔄 Why having a repeatable system changes everything

  • Digital Nomad Family Travel Tips: Finding Events & Things to Do Anywhere in the World
    Apr 15 2026

    You've landed somewhere new. The bags are unpacked. And then comes the question every travelling family knows too well — so what do we actually do here?

    This week I'm back with Julie Talbot — British ex-expat turned global nomad — who after 12 years in the UAE took the leap into full-time family travel with her husband and children. She's worldschooling her kids, running a UK property business remotely, and somehow always seems to know exactly what's on, what's worth doing, and where to find the kind of experiences that don't show up in a Google search.

    This is Episode 3 of our special 4-part travel creator series. This week — the practical stuff that makes nomadic family life actually work.

    In this episode:

    🗺️ Where Julie finds events and things to do in every new destination

    📱 The apps, websites and communities she swears by

    👨‍👩‍👧 How to keep a travelling family engaged and entertained

    💡 Tips for finding local experiences over tourist ones

    About Julie: Julie Talbot is an ex-expat turned global nomad. After 12 years in the UAE she and her family took the leap into full-time travel — worldschooling her children while running a UK property business remotely. She proves every day that location independence isn't just possible, it's extraordinary.

  • The Tulip Season Secret Most Visitors Get Wrong — with Gerrit from Hidden Holland
    Apr 7 2026

    Most people planning a trip to Holland for tulip season get the timing wrong. They book Keukenhof, they show up, and they either miss the peak bloom entirely or find themselves shoulder to shoulder with thousands of other tourists wondering why it doesn't look like the photos. Sound familiar?

    This week I'm joined by Gerrit from Hidden Holland — a specialist in Dutch travel and someone who knows the tulip fields better than almost anyone — and he's sharing exactly what most visitors get wrong, when you should actually be going, and where to find the real tulip experience beyond the tourist trail.

    This is a special 4-part series where I'm featuring travel creators sharing their best tips, hacks and local knowledge from four completely different corners of the world. Each episode, one creator, one destination, one set of tips that could genuinely change how you travel. This week — it's all about Holland in spring.

    If you're planning a trip to the Netherlands this year, listen to this before you book anything.

    What We Cover in This Episode

    • 🌷 When tulip season actually peaks in Holland — and why most visitors get the timing completely wrong
    • 📍 Where the tulip fields really are beyond Keukenhof — and why locals go somewhere different entirely
    • 📸 The best spots for photos that aren't overrun with tour groups
    • 🗓️ How to plan your Netherlands spring trip around the bloom — including what happens if you get the dates wrong
    • 🚲 How to explore the fields like a local rather than a tourist
    • 💡 Gerrit's single best tip for first-time visitors to Holland in spring

    About This Week's Guest

    Gerrit is the founder of Hidden Holland — a travel platform dedicated to showing visitors the real Netherlands beyond the obvious tourist stops. He joined me on a previous episode to talk about Amsterdam, and this week he's back with everything you need to know about tulip season.
