Exploring Italy with Travelux Club & NEBEClubEvents 2025 🇮🇹✨

What a whirlwind few days it’s was at Travelux 2025 with NEBE in March. It was an unforgettable mix of work, culture and connection in some of Italy’s most beautiful settings.

The journey began in Murano, staying at the Hyatt Crowne Plaza. From visiting the famous glass factory to a fun spritz-making class and a colourful trip to Burano, it was the perfect start before heading to the main event in Venice.

Travelux itself was hosted on the stunning Isola delle Rose at the Marriott Venice. Between productive meetings, a walking tour of Venice and a truly magical gala dinner at the opera house, it was an event filled with inspiration and energy.

One of the standout moments? A visit to Castello di Postignano in Umbria - a once-abandoned medieval village transformed over 16 years into a breathtaking retreat. It deserves a whole post of its own… coming soon!

We wrapped up with site visits in Rome, taking in incredible hotels and venues before flying home, full of ideas and gratitude for such an immersive experience.

Huge thanks to NEBE and everyone involved for organising such a memorable few days. Could post so many more pictures but here is a select few of my favourites!

Leeds Castle, Kent is one of those rare places that leaves you feeling both inspired and completely at ease, a perfect blend of history, beauty and tranquility. Visiting this incredible venue is a truly special experience that lingers with you long after you’ve left.

We took our time exploring the grounds, enjoying a peaceful walk surrounded by stunning views and an atmosphere that feels unlike anywhere else. The castle itself, with its rich history and elegant architecture, provides an inspiring backdrop for reflection, conversation and connection.

What makes Leeds Castle particularly exceptional is how effortlessly it brings people together. Whether you’re planning a team retreat, a client appreciation evening or a leadership off-site, the setting naturally encourages productive discussions while giving everyone the chance to recharge in a restorative environment. It’s the kind of place where big ideas and meaningful moments seem to happen organically.

If you’re considering organising a corporate experience in a setting as unique as this, I’d love to help. Together, we can create an experience that blends professional growth with personal well-being - something your team will remember for years to come.

I had the pleasure of exploring the enchanting grounds of Old Swan & Minster Mill situated in Minster, The Cotswolds. I had an afternoon to wander through the ruins of Minster Mill, busy with local families swimming in the river and eating picnics on a Sunday afternoon.

Minster Mill is set within acres of beautiful grounds, with the gentle sound of the river running alongside it. The estate offers enchanting spaces for weddings, outdoor seating areas for al fresco dining, and plenty of opportunities for guests to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors.

The gardener has even crafted a unique upcycled table made from tree trunks, adding a truly authentic touch. There’s also a peaceful riverside trail, perfect for wandering quietly down to hidden seating areas where the only sounds are the hum of bees and the flutter of butterflies.

The restaurant is open Tuesday to Saturday and is also available for private experiences and events, featuring locally sourced dishes prepared by their talented resident chef. For team-building activities, a wicker igloo has been built and is being thoughtfully incorporated into the grounds. Guests can also gather around the impressive firepit, the perfect spot to wrap up in blankets, toast marshmallows and enjoy the night sky as evenings grow cooler.

Minster Mill also offers quirky, characterful meeting rooms of various sizes, making it ideal for corporate retreats as well as leisure getaways. It’s a place full of joy and memorable experiences. During my visit, I was even lucky enough to witness a marriage proposal beautifully organised with the help of the venue’s team.

The staff go above and beyond to create truly unforgettable occasions, leaving guests feeling cared for and eager to return.

The affiliated Old Swan pub in the nearby village serves hearty breakfasts and dinners, with charming outdoor spaces that often host team-building events. While I didn’t visit the spa, it looked small but lovely.

Overall, Minster Mill is more than just a place to stay. It’s an experience in itself, leaving you refreshed, full of joy and already planning your next visit.

I recently had a beautifully restorative stay at Tylney Hall, and it was fab!

We began with a calming yoga session within the grounds, with the cedar trees gently swaying overhead and the freshly cut grass, as my body gratefully stretched and reconnected with nature. After the restorative and relaxing afternoon under the hot sunshine, we sat to enjoy an incredible barbecue whilst the staff saw to our every need with a smile.

The elegant setting lent a sense of occasion to the evening. The food was as beautiful as the surroundings… thoughtful, seasonal, and perfectly presented.

Tylney Hall truly delivers when it comes to combining wellness, history, and fine dining. I left feeling restored and thoroughly spoiled.

Thank you to Victoria and the team at Tylney for a fantastic experience and the wider team at Elite Hotels.

An evening of calm at Nobu Portman Square!

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of attending a unique evening at the Nobu, for a showcase to introduce the ALHI Hotel group.

Nobu delighted us with an authentic Japanese calligraphy class, plus a wasabi masterclass, and a relaxed and healing sound bath experience with Farzana from .

This filled the space with the most grounding and restorative energy as we shifted into the new Leo moon. It was the ideal way to pause, reset and forget the busyness of London outside. The afternoon was a genuine reminder to slow down and focus on one simple, beautiful act at a time and how incredibly powerful this can be.

Thank you to the team at Nobu Portman Square, and the wider team at ALHI Hotels, for curating such a thoughtful and memorable afternoon. I left Nobu after beautiful margaritas and food, whilst reconnecting and meeting new friends.

I was reminded today. Pausing, taking that moment when overwhelm is creeping in, programmed to keep in control, but what are we controlling and where is this control coming from? Others and their opinion? Or our self programmed beliefs, told to us as we develop which are so deep routed we believe them to be our truth when actually they're not, they are from others and their perceptions of us and the world we picked up and it became a way of thought or life.. debunk these thoughts. Go to you gut, instinct whichever you feel to be true in your own heart and you walk that belief and it will become your truth and stop trying to control what your not meant to control. Life becomes a little lighter, thoughts flow and you begin to live your authenticity and you will see the path you should walk.

The world feels heavy some days, doesn't it?

So much noise. So much spinning of emotions.

So many voices telling you what might happen tomorrow, next month, next year.

Here's what I want you to remember:
The ground beneath your feet is steadier than you think.

The winds of politics and the tides of the economy will always rise and fall - that's the nature of seasons. But your roots, your center, your calm? Those are yours to enjoy, always.

You are not powerless in uncertain times - you are powerful because you remember: calm is not out there. Calm is right here, in you, ready when you choose it.

Tomorrow, a door opens.
A door back to yourself.

Occasionally, I look at my daily horoscope, and today's did feel very aligned with where I am going and how I'm getting there.

Our mental strength is everything that keeps us in check. When we feel aligned we are in a positive place and life flows with the balls juggled well, but when a ball lands suddenly and causes rhythm to be broken and change happens or it is just a bad day, take faith that you can pick that ball up, breath, concentrate, accept what happened and the flow continues.

Another successful year at TheMeetingsShow! Grateful to and for their exceptional hospitality. The attention to detail, like the octopus charger, truly saved the day during the mini heatwave to charge my fan.

The hosted buyers day was a standout event with insightful speakers , , and , introducing fresh and innovative approaches.

Special thanks to for hosting a memorable evening at , featuring the talented band and a lively game of bingo. The view from such heights over my hometown, especially spotting the iconic Natwest Tower, brought a surreal touch of nostalgia as it was rhe tallest building in London when I began my working life.

Engaging with familiar faces and meeting new ones left me both exhilarated and ready for a good night's rest. Until next year, it was a pleasure connecting with all of you!
