🎄😒 Even the Grinch has to admit…
This travel agent deserves a bit of love ✈️
Trying to get his business off to a flying start!

💚 It costs NOTHING to like & share
…and he might just help you escape all this jolly nonsense 😏

Go on… give him a follow 👇

Hello everyone! I’d love to introduce myself… 👋
My name is Martin, and I’m the person behind Wanderlark Travel. While I’m based in Chichester, I’m here to help families, couples and explorers locally turning their holiday dreams into a reality.
I’ve loved travel since I was young—so much so that I studied it back in college. But life has taught me that travel is about so much more than just a flight and a hotel; it’s about the stories we tell for years afterward.

𝕎𝕙𝕪 𝕕𝕚𝕕 𝕀 𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣𝕥 𝕎𝕒𝕟𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕝𝕒𝕣𝕜 𝕋𝕣𝕒𝕧𝕖𝕝?
Because I know that planning a trip isn’t always easy. As a father and a partner to someone living with a disability, I’ve seen both sides of the coin. I know the pure magic travel brings to a family, but I also know the stress, the endless “what-ifs,” and the hours spent researching to make sure a destination is actually right for your specific needs.
I realized that the big “high street” brands and faceless call centres often miss that personal touch. I wanted to create a service where you aren’t just a booking reference—you’re a family, a couple, or an adventurer with a unique set of needs.
𝕄𝕪 𝕊𝕖𝕣𝕧𝕚𝕔𝕖 𝕥𝕠 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕚𝕤 𝕤𝕚𝕞𝕡𝕝𝕖:
I take on the “holiday headache” for you. I do the hours of research and the fine-print checking so you don’t have to. Whether it’s a simple summer break, a complex accessible trip, a UK spa retreat, or a bucket-list safari, I treat your holiday as if it were my own.

🌍 𝕎𝕙𝕠 𝕀 𝕨𝕠𝕣𝕜 𝕨𝕚𝕥𝕙
I’m partnered with 200+ trusted suppliers, which means I can offer the same holidays you see online — often with added value or better pricing.
This includes well-known names such as:
✈️ Jet2holidays
✈️ easyJet holidays
✈️ TUI
🌴 Kuoni
🛳️ Cruise lines including Royal Caribbean, MSC & more
🏝️ Sandals & long-haul specialists
🎢 Disney holidays
…and many more

🔐 𝕋𝕠𝕥𝕒𝕝 ℙ𝕖𝕒𝕔𝕖 𝕠𝕗 𝕄𝕚𝕟𝕕
I know how important security is when booking. That’s why all holidays booked through Wanderlark Travel come with multiple layers of financial protection and industry backing:
✔️ PTS Protected Trust Account – your money is securely held until suppliers are paid
✔️ ATOL Protection – on all applicable package holidays
✔️ IATA Accredited – globally recognised industry standard
✔️ Supplier Failure Insurance (SFI)
✔️ Supplier Airline Failure Insurance (SAFI)
So you’re not just booking a holiday… you’re booking with complete confidence.
You get the security of the big brands, but with the care and personal service of a local independent.
I’m so excited to help you see the world. If you’re looking for a bit of inspiration or just want to support a local business, I’d love for you to follow my page and say hello!

Oooooooh listen up, Whoville… 👀💚

Go on then… tap that follow button and show a little love to this brave, hardworking, local independent legend trying to grow something special from the ground up.

It costs you absolutely NOTHING… not a single crumb of roast beast… but it means the world to a small business owner doing their very best.

Consider it your good deed for the day.

As for me? That’s it. I’m done. My heart grew three sizes and I’ve officially completed my good deed for the decade… the Grinch is clocking off. 😌💚

That’s it… sack packed, patience gone, and I’m slinking back to my cave for an 11-month hibernation.
Do. Not. Disturb.

We’ve had a truly dreadful, mischievous time together — chaos, cackling, and just the right amount of Who-annoying. And against my better judgement… I suppose I should say thank you for the support. Yes. I said it. Don’t get used to it.

Before I vanish until next year, I demand—ahem—ask one final thing:
Please follow, like, click the link below, and share this shiny new travel business. Support local. Spread the love. Be helpful.( I feel bad as I’d didn’t get to course chaos at Wanderlark travel but there will be next year!

…Ugh. I felt physically unwell saying that. 🤢

Now off I go. Cave calling. Grinch out. 💚

Before I slink back to Whoville, I may be forced to rest for a whole two days… all this holly-jolly nonsense is exhausting.
But before I disappear, I suppose I should mention a charity event I attended on behalf of Chestnut Tree House. A truly fantastic local charity making a difference and a great event… even if the Grinch was only grudgingly in attendance. Annette Jones Chestnut Treehouse

That’s it. Christmas is OVER.
Tree down. Lights off. Joy cancelled. 🎄❌

And yet… some of you are already singing and dancing about next Christmas.
Unbelievable behaviour.

Before I retreat back to my cave, I’ve got one last thing to do…
👉 my annual groom at C.E Hair

If they try to make me smell nice, there will be consequences.
I’m a Grinch — deal with it. 😏💚

Ohhh they say “save the best till last”…
the cheers when I arrived were absolutely DISGUSTING. 🤢🎄

I could practically feel the grinch-loving Whos getting all hopeful, whispering:
“Maybe… just maybe… he’ll stop it.”

Spoiler alert: I tried.
I glared.
I muttered.
I plotted.

Did I stop the tractors? No.
But did I make a baby cry?
😈 ABSOLUTE SUCCESS.

Mission partially accomplished.
Christmas spirit slightly damaged.
Standards still low.

I’ll be back… watching… judging…
and trying MUCH harder next time. 🎅🚜💚

Just your local, thoroughly irritated Grinch minding his own miserable business when—BAM—hit on by an OAP before I’d even made it through the doors of The Berkeley Arms Clearly thought it was Singles Night… every Who’s dream, every Grinch’s absolute nightmare.

Naturally, I took it upon myself to head inside and educate the staff on the fine art of serving annoyance, chaos, and mild emotional confusion with every drink. Training was delivered. Standards were lowered. Eyebrows were raised.

I can now (reluctantly) confirm that every staff member has been fully briefed on how to Grinch properly while pouring a pint. As such, the Berkeley Arms has earned the rare and highly unwanted Grinch Seal of Approval™.

Do not get comfortable though. I’ll be watching. Closely.
And if standards accidentally improve… I’ll be back to fix that.

Nothing to see here… just one extremely handsome green menace attempting to spread a little mischief, misery, and perfectly planned chaos.

Still trying to work out whether all these Whos lining the streets were really there for Chichester Christmas Charity Tractor Run
…or just pretending, using it as a convenient excuse to check whether THE GRINCH was actually lurking about 🧐

Suspicious. Very suspicious.

Either way — you’re welcome for the disruption. 💚




16/12/2025

Behold… some of my earliest unfortunate encounters with the Whos loitering about, waiting for the Chichester Christmas Charity Tractor Run.
Smiling. Waving. Being cheerful for no good reason.
I hadn’t even started my full misery schedule yet… and already they were testing my patience.
