Episode 13 - Roy’s Remembrance ❤️

This week on Lattes, Luggage and Life, I’m taking a step away from the usual travel tips and holiday stories to share something much more personal. Following the recent loss of my grandad, Roy, I wanted to dedicate this episode to the man who helped shape so much of my life. From holidays to Disneyland Paris and Butlins, to long walks, lifts to auditions, college interviews and job interviews, Grandad was always there. He was my best friend, my partner in crime and one of my biggest supporters. In this episode, I reflect on the memories we shared, how his time in the Navy may have inspired my love of ships and cruising, and the difficult journey our family experienced as we watched him live with Alzheimer’s over the past few years. I’ve also launched Roy’s Remembrance, where £10 from every booking made through Avandra Travel Services will be donated to the Alzheimer’s Society in his memory. Thank you for listening and allowing me to share a little bit of Roy’s story. 📧 Avandra@experienceitnowtravel.co.uk 📱 WhatsApp: 07442 144889 📘 Facebook: Avandra Travel Services 📸 Instagram: @avandratravelservices 🎵 TikTok: @avandratravelservices 🎙️ New episodes of Lattes, Luggage and Life every Wednesday at 8am.

Episode 12 - Turkey Surgery: What Social Media Doesn't Show

This week on Lattes, Luggage and Life, we’re talking about a different type of journey — travelling to Turkey for surgery. Joining me is my friend Samantha, who opens up about her personal experience of travelling abroad for a breast augmentation and uplift procedure. We’re having an honest and unbiased conversation about why people choose Turkey, the pros and cons, social media expectations, recovery, things people don’t always think about, and what the journey was really like from someone who has experienced it firsthand. This episode isn't about telling anyone what they should or shouldn’t do — it's about real stories, real experiences and real conversations. What are your thoughts? Have you considered travelling abroad for surgery? Have any questions we didn’t cover? Send them over — I’d love to hear from you and maybe they’ll feature in a future episode. 📩 Email: Avandra@experienceitnowtravel.co.uk📱 WhatsApp: 07442144889📘 Facebook: Avandra Travel Services📸 Instagram: @avandratravelservices🎵 TikTok: @avandratravelservices 🎙️ New episodes of Lattes, Luggage and Life every Wednesday at 8am Grab your coffee, pack your dreams and come along for the journey.

In this episode of Lattes, Luggage & Life, I’m talking all about the brand new cruise ships launching in 2027 and 2028 — and why cruising is changing more than ever. From huge, family-friendly ships carrying over 7,000 passengers to smaller luxury ships with under 1,000 onboard, there is now a cruise for every type of traveller. I’m breaking down some of the biggest new ships, where they’ll be sailing from, and who they’re best suited for — whether you’re a first-time cruiser, a family, or looking for something more luxury.
