Lovely to meet you, now let's plan your next holiday

Hello and welcome to my website, I am Lynn, a native New Yorker who fell in love with an Englishman and, somewhere along the way, built a life that happily bridges two worlds. That mix of New York energy and British balance pretty much sums up how I approach travel and how I look after my clients: enthusiastic, straightforward and always with a personal touch.

I have a real lust for seeing the world, learning about different cultures and, of course, eating my way around the globe. Whether it is chatting with locals in a tiny café, discovering a new street food favourite or finding that perfect sunset spot, I love the way travel connects us and opens our eyes to how other people live. Those experiences shape the way I plan holidays, because I know how powerful the right trip can be.

Although I love everything about travel, I specialise in creating bespoke itineraries across the USA (with a particular soft spot for the north east), the Caribbean and a handpicked selection of other incredible destinations. As a born and bred New Yorker, I also believe the Big Apple should be on everyone’s must see list and who better to plan your New York adventure than your native New Yorker travel agent, with insider tips and local knowledge to bring the city to life.

I also focus on river and ocean cruising, as well as completely tailor made journeys that are designed around the way you like to travel.

My clients are as individual as the trips I create. I work with couples looking for adult only escapes and unforgettable honeymoons, multi generational families wanting quality time together, parents planning memory making family adventures, groups of friends, and confident or first time solo travellers. Whoever you are travelling with, I take the time to understand what matters most to you, then build a trip that feels like it has been created just for you.

Sharing this passion with my clients is one of my greatest joys. I genuinely love hearing your ideas, the “one day we would love to…” conversations, and then turning them into real journeys. There is nothing better than knowing I have helped to make memories happen, whether it is a first time adventure somewhere completely new or a return to a much loved place that feels like home.

So when you are thinking about your next adventure, I would love to be part of it. Perhaps you are dreaming of a simple fly and flop break where you can switch off completely, or a tour around a fabulous new destination full of sights, sounds and flavours you have not discovered yet. Maybe you are tempted by cruising the seven seas or drifting along one of the world’s beautiful rivers, watching each new place appear as you sail.

It might be that you just need a few days away to reset and regroup, to pause the day to day and breathe for a while. Or you could be planning a big family holiday, getting everyone together under one roof, or marking a milestone celebration that deserves to feel truly special. Whatever the reason, no trip is ever “just a holiday” to me.

I work tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure your holiday is as smooth and enjoyable as possible, and I always treat your plans as if they were my own. From our first chat to the moment you arrive home, I am here to listen, guide, reassure and fine tune the details, so you can focus on enjoying the experience.

If this sounds like the kind of support you would value, then I am here for you. Get in touch and let us start creating your next set of memories together.

A Jewel of the Ionian

My husband and I had always said we would never re-visit the same place more than once. There is a whole big world out there after all just waiting to be experienced. We stuck by this mantra until we happened quite by accident on the wonderful family run Sami Beach Hotel in Karavomylos, Kefalonia, Greece. This American was looking for a weekend getaway to Krakow (that will be another blog) and scr

I Will Remember Massachusetts

Continuing from my last blog on upstate New York, head east out of Albany on i90 to the Massachusetts Turnpike heading towards Boston and the picturesque Berkshire Mountains. This is the perfect place to see the legendary fall foliage of New England in Autumn but beware, driving in winter months can see heavy snowfall, sometimes up to 2 feet.

I'm in a new New York state of mind - exploring a different side of the Big Apple

When you think of New York, what images spring to mind? Gridlocked traffic full of yellow cabs? Steaming manhole covers? The iconic Chrysler & Empire State buildings, or maybe the Brooklyn Bridge? We are all so familiar with the sights & sounds of the city that never sleeps, the starring backdrop of countless movies & TV shows. This was the city I grew up in and love, and no trip to the US is co
