Your next unforgettable journey starts here

Imagine having your own travel advisor who already understands what you want from a holiday: time to relax, to have fun and feel safe, with everything planned for you.

I’ll work closely with you to put together a trip which is exactly what you're looking for. This might be a big once in a lifetime adventure, a calm beach break, a wildlife trip or a quick city escape. We start with a friendly chat at a time that suits you, so I can learn what you enjoy and how you want to feel when you are away.

After that, I do the searching, planning and organising. You still make the final decisions, but you don’t have to do the hard work of scrolling through multiple websites to find the right option for you. I want you to feel calm, confident and excited long before you reach the airport.

When you book with me, your holiday is 100% financially protected. You can use our easy MyTC app to see your booking details, pay safely and get important updates. You will also have a 24/7 support line while you are away, so you always know someone is there to help if plans change.

A little about me:
Travel has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I love trying local foods, walking down small side streets to find hidden places, watching wildlife and learning how people live in different parts of the world.

I’ve been lucky enough to visit places like Australia, Thailand, the Maldives, New York City, Greece, Turkey, Italy and more. I use what I have learned from my own travels, as well as my travel knowledge, to help you choose the right holiday for you.

If you would like a calm, friendly expert to plan and book your next trip, so you can simply look forward to going away, I would love to help.

A Dreamy Few Days In Cappadocia: Hot Air Balloons, Cave Hotels & Turkish Delights

Think towering “fairy chimneys”, morning skies filled with hot air balloons, and beautiful cave suites carved into ancient rock. If you’re looking for a short escape that feels wildly different and easy to reach, a few days in Cappadocia could be perfect for you.

My top 5 things to do in Istanbul!

My top 5 things to do in Istanbul!

Istanbul is such an incredible city and I loved visiting this year. The people there were all so friendly, it’s super easy to get around and I loved learning about the history and culture. Here are my top 5 things to do in Istanbul (it was really hard to bring it down to 5!) 1 - Visit the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia – both of these mosques are so beautiful and are completely different. They ar

Cruising on Riverside Mozart

Cruising on Riverside Mozart

I joined a River Cruise on the Riverside, Mozart for our familiarisation (Fam) trip in March and it was one of the best trips I've ever had! Not only because I had wonderful company with fellow Travel Counsellors, but because the service and amenities on Riverside Mozart were brilliant! Here are my top five take-aways from this wonderful sailing: 1. The fantastic service from the staff - there ar

The country of fire and ice!

The country of fire and ice!

Visiting Iceland is like visiting another planet. We went over to Reykjavík in Iceland for my friend’s birthday, as she lives out there. We stayed in the city centre and had a blast! On the first night my friend introduced all of us to each other, as so many of us had travelled to Iceland to see her from different countries including England, Ireland, USA, Switzerland and Norwich (to name a few!

Surprises in the Maldives

Surprises in the Maldives

I don’t know what I expected from the Maldives… I thought it would be beautiful, the ocean would be clearer than I could imagine in real life and I’d spend most of my days lounging by the pool reading a book. Was that what I got? Yes, and no. I was surprised by how much the Maldives had to offer, I’ll talk about some of my favourite parts: We arrived into Male and were met straight away by the

Flying High in Chiang Mai

Flying High in Chiang Mai

Chaing Mai – the largest city in Northern Thailand. We stayed at a beautiful boutique hotel called Rachamankha which is in the heart of Chiang Mai. It has just 25 rooms/suites and is next to Wat Phra Singh, the city’s most famous temple. It was the perfect base for our 2 nights here. On our first day we woke up nice and early, I think it was around 5am, for a sunrise hot air balloon ride – I was

Cultural Experiences in Chiang Rai

Cultural Experiences in Chiang Rai

Chiang Rai holds a special place in my heart. It is a quieter part of Northern Thailand compared to Chiang Mai where most will stay when visiting to Northern Thailand, but is filled with local culture. When we went to Chiang Rai we stayed at The Riverie, a beautiful hotel close to the centre of Chiang Rai. The hotel has a great pool, including a children's area, so is perfect for couple and famil

City fun in Bangkok

City fun in Bangkok

Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand. I didn't realise how much I was going to love Bangkok. To be honest I am usually more of a relaxed traveller, preferring quieter locations, but my husband Shawn loves exploring large cities so I've started to grow to love them too. Bangkok is perfect for foodies, those who love learning about the history and different cultures and shoppers. We stayed in the

Fun Adventures in Dubai

Fun Adventures in Dubai

I thought I'd start my blog with some past adventures, starting with mine and my husband Shawn's multi-centre honeymoon back in 2022, because to be honest I'm still not over how amazing it was! First stop... Dubai! We hadn't originally planned on staying in Dubai, only to catch our connecting flight, but we had two of our best friends living out there at the time so decided to stay for a while.

What my customers say

We honestly cannot thank you enough. The honeymoon was everything we hoped for and more, and so much of that is down to you. From the very beginning you made the whole process feel easy and stress-free, no small thing when we were already up to our eyeballs in wedding planning! You took care of every detail and gave us brilliant recommendations, taking the pressure completely off our shoulders. The trip itself was incredible. From the moment we landed we were already spotting giraffes and elephants, and thanks to your recommendations I was lucky enough to see hundreds of elephants, my absolute dream animal! Everything ran so smoothly throughout, from the beautiful stopovers and stunning hotels to our table being booked every single night. One standout moment was the exclusive bush dinner arranged just for us, truly one of the most memorable experiences of the whole trip. You were always friendly, responsive and genuinely listened to what we wanted, which made us feel completely confident from start to finish. You delivered our dream honeymoon within our budget and we truly could not have done it without you. Your advice about the area also meant we arrived feeling prepared and organised with no last-minute stress. We would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone planning a special trip and will absolutely be using you again in the future.

This is the second time we have asked for Amy's help and even though it was only a small budget, she was still as helpful and professional as the last time. Amy went above and beyond in our opinion working at the weekend due to the quite tight time constraints! We are looking forward to Amy helping us plan our next holiday!

Amy has been very understanding and patient, answering any questions promptly and adapting to any changing requirements. We did not know exactly what we wanted from our trip, so left it to Amy to present us with ideas. We were not disappointed and very excited about our holiday.
