Hello JFC team!
I'm a huge fan - of what you do, and travel in general. Since upgrading to premium last year, I've used your tips to go to Djerba in January, Mexico for Day of the Dead, and Barbados in December - see photos attached, can you guess which is which? 🦄 Next month, I'm jetting off to Seoul! 🙂
My love for travel started in 2018, when I went to Jordan to perform in refugee camps. I'm part of a travelling circus/musical theatre troupe that works with underprivileged kids around the world - we most recently went to Madagascar last April, which was incredible! ❤️ For the past 8 years, I've travelled as much as I can - which has been amazing for my mental health, but has required some insane budgeting. I used to work for the NHS and now I work in data/policy for Citizens Advice, so I've never been on the highest salary! I've become exceptional at finding deals - my friends always come to me to find them the best flights. On Saturday, I helped my friend book £400 return flights to Vietnam for next month! Hilariously, my nickname is "Jules Flight Club" in the group chat.
Anyway enough blabbering about travel - I had a question! It's my 30th this year, and of course I want to spend it somewhere exceptional. My favourite place in the world is Brazil (I've been twice in the past 5 years), so the dream is somewhere in Latin America. ❤️ However, I have a problem. My birthday is August 25th - the summer bank holiday. Ideal for annual leave taking, terrible for budgeting! I've decided to leave it up to the fates (i.e. you) and see what deals come through for peak summer - however do you ever get that many for August? From a quick search, I could only find a few that you sent for the same period last year, which doesn't look hopeful. Any tips/thoughts welcome!
Thanks all ❤️
