Abbie Whitehead


Hi everyone, My name is Abbie and I am currently the modern apprentice working at Arundel travel which has been my work place for a little over a year now and I have got to say that I love it more and more everyday .


My favourite holiday that I have been on so far was to Corfu in August 2022. I stayed in a smaller village called Arillas which is in the north-western area of Corfu. Arillas is a smaller and beautiful village which still holds it traditional Greek charm while keeping away from becoming commercialised. think Arillas is ideal for all types of customers, from families to couples and even solo travellers where It felt so magical to me and heartwarming to be there and surrounded by such welcoming and friendly locals with all of the family run tavernas. During my stay in Arillas is what actually made me realise how much there is to the world and how beautiful all of these breathtaking places are, this holiday is what made me want to be part of the travel industry and help people find their dream holidays. When returning home from Corfu I began to think about how rewarding it must feel to find customers their dream holiday and help make them feel as special as I did when I was in Corfu. I remember one night after having a gorgeous meal at one of the local restaurants we all took a stroll down onto the beach to watch the sunset go down and I remember sitting there and just thinking about how lucky I was to be able to travel to Corfu and experience the stunning scenery and nature while also realising how much I wanted to see the world and get out there to see all of the cultures and lifestyle that we are surrounded by since we really do live in such a beautiful world!

One of my favourite experiences on holiday has been during my stay this summer in Albufeira in Portugal, myself and my friends on one of the nights went down to Praia da Galé which is a long strip of a golden, sandy beach. On this beach they were hosting the full moon party which is celebrated by the locals of Albufeira by music and dancing with candles and lanterns set all over the strip of beach. This is one of my favourite experiences while being on holiday due too how happy and wholesome the evening felt, it was so special to see everyone of a community come together and have a night where everyone spends the evening celebrating life. There are lanterns set out cross the beach which really made the night look stunning while hearing all the laughter and music playing away in the background all night long.



My bucket list trip at the moment is to definitely one day visit and stay in the stunning Canada. Every time I do an enquiry for Canada or booking it makes me want to visit Canada more and more as I get more jealous with seeing everyones amazing holidays. The one thing that really blows my mind with Canada is the breathtaking scenery that you have all around you from the lakes and mountains to the wildlife such as the whales to the bears. One area that I know I would definitely like to visit when I go to Canada is Banff, Banff to me looks like heaven in a place, The waters of Moraine Lake seem like they have been poured straight from the heavens into the Valley of the Ten Peaks, it really blows my mind every time with how unrealistic it would feel to be stood right there with how peaceful and calming it would be just to stay there with nothing in the world over than the wild nature and tweeting birds. I truly can not wait to be able to visit this beautiful country one day while even having the chance to see a whale while I am there which is definitely one of my bucket list experiences too!
