As the evenings close in and the temperature drops, we at Original Travel brace ourselves for a scenario that goes something like this.
Scene 1. Winter. The Original Travel office. The phone rings. Original Traveller: 'Original Travel, XXXXXX speaking, how can I help?' Slightly desperate sounding potential client: 'I need a holiday.' Original Traveller: 'Well you've come to the right place! Did you have anywhere in mind?' Slightly desperate sounding potential client: 'Somewhere hot.'
Scene 2. Still Winter, but a few short weeks later. A beautiful sun-drenched beach. No longer vitamin D deficient Original Travel client: 'This is much, much more like it.'
The End.
Cue rapturous applause and bouquets of flowers strewn on the stage.

Where to Go
Thailand
Thailand is a vibrant blend of cultures and breathtaking natural scenery and, understandably, the most popular destination in South East Asia.
Australia
The vast island of Australia is a country of natural beauty and vivid contrasts, and a big Original Travel favourite.
Oman
A wonderful destination combining beautiful beachfront properties and dramatic mountain and desert landscapes to explore.
Mauritius
This tiny Indian Ocean island has long set the standard for tropical luxury holidays.
Seychelles
An ideal choice for anybody looking for lower-key beach time than is provided by the glitzier Maldives or Mauritius.
Canary Islands
Yes, that's right. The Canary Islands. Cast aside those preconceptions and head to one of Europe's most pleasant surprises.
Brazil
Indisputably the ‘in’ country on earth right now, and somewhere that we at Original Travel can’t get enough of.
Mozambique
Mozambique is the ultimate holiday destination thanks to mile upon mile of palm-fringed coastline, warm turquoise waters and now a national park...
Argentina
From the end of the world in Patagonia, past the pampas and sultry Buenos Aires to the hilltops of Salta, Argentina is big, bold and beautiful.
New Zealand
Comparable in size to the UK, but with a population of only four million, New Zealand is one of the world's least crowded countries.
Mexico
Forget Cancun, Mexico is a truly diverse country, with a vast array of attractions for travellers of all tastes.
Dubai
Shop the souqs and the malls, stay in a luxury hotel and enjoy water sports and a desert safari.
Sri Lanka
The teardrop-shaped island of Sri Lanka, at the southern tip of India, is a small country with a great combination of attractions – culture,...
