All about Debbie
My travel career began back in 1980, fresh out of school, where I began as an apprentice travel agent with a local agency. Flash forward forty-three years, and it still gives me so much pleasure to arrange customers’ holidays and adventures, in Miles Morgan Travel’s Bath branch. I’ve travelled across the world over the years and have many experiences that I love to share with customers.
Malta has to be one of my favourite holiday destinations. Although small, the island has so much to offer – I’ve been three times now, and still discover new hidden gems every time! There’s a plethora of history to learn about, alongside the festivals, excellent shopping scene, and of course, the gorgeous blue lagoon waters. Further afield, Barbados is also at the top of my list: the beaches are stunning, and the warm Caribbean sea is so inviting! I hired a car – they drive on the left – which offered the flexibility to visit the Botanic Gardens and the iconic Harrison’s Cave. What a sight! After, we watched in awe from Bathsheba as the surfers caught unbelievable waves. For a day in Bridgetown, the buses are easy and regular, and the town offers walking tours for all the sights, plus a wonderful host of shops: particularly if you’re after jewellery! We made many happy memories there.
Southern India will always have a special place in my heart – a once-in-a-lifetime trip! We cruised the waterways of Kerala on a rustic traditional houseboat, passing remote villages and stunning, lush green scenery. It was a beautiful insight into the communities and livelihoods of the locals, teaching me about their wonderful culture. I also took an excursion to Kanyakumari, the southern-most tip of India where the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean meet. It’s a rugged coastline of towering cliffs and crystal blue waters that took my breath away.
I also love city breaks, my favourite being Berlin. It’s a wonderful city, with many fascinating museums and iconic sights. I also ventured up the TV Tower – 365m high! – allowing for fantastic views of the entire city and lunched in the iconic revolving restaurant. A slightly surreal experience, but an unforgettable one.
Cruising is another passion of mine: I have many years’ experience in selling and sailing with ocean lines, and within my time at Miles Morgan Travel, I’ve been introduced to the exciting world of river cruising! My time on VISTA, the newest of Oceania Cruises’ fleet, was particularly unforgettable: a taste of true luxury. The suites and staterooms are spacious and exquisite, with an endless list of facilities and entertainment options to accommodate to all. There are no less than eight restaurants, offering delights ranging from continental cuisine to Asian fusion, authentic Italian to classic steakhouse! The food is unbelievable, prepared by chefs selected from the world’s top restaurants. The open-seating dining is a huge bonus, offering the opportunity to dine with whomever, and whenever, suits the day’s plans. Cooking masterclasses are also on offer, with a stunning sea-view. To top it all off, the service is exceptional. I cannot wait to visit again!
