It's Nice To Meet You
Mrs. S. Personalised Travels | Luxury Travel Specialist for Tailor-Made Holidays, based in Chislehurst.
Welcome! I’m Andreea, aka Mrs. S. Personalised Travels, a London-based luxury travel specialist dedicated to crafting tailor-made holidays that are as unique as you are. The name reflects my philosophy: this isn’t about me – it’s about you. It’s about designing unforgettable journeys, carefully curated to suit your travel style, passions, and dreams.
When I plan my own adventures, I dive deep into research, seeking out authentic experiences that showcase the true spirit of each destination. I bring this same passion to planning your trip, whether you love gastronomy, history, culture, or local flavours, I’ll weave it all into a seamless itinerary that’s built around you.
Why Choose a Personal Travel Specialist?
I’m not here to sell generic packages. I’m here to create a travel experience tailored to you: securing the best family-friendly resorts, finding romantic boutique hotels for honeymoons, or arranging authentic local encounters that bring your destination to life.
With me, you travel at your own pace, in your own style, with the confidence that every detail: from transfers to dining reservations – has been carefully considered. I treat every holiday as if it were my own, putting care and dedication into every step.
My own travel wanderlust began on the shores of the Black Sea in Romania, my birthplace. Since then, I’ve explored captivating destinations around the world:
Peru: Trekking the dazzling Rainbow Mountains at over 5,100m, marvelling at soaring condors and glaciers, and watching the sun set over Machu Picchu – it was nothing short of magical. (A fellow traveller even proposed at sunset, and we all celebrated together – a memory I’ll never forget!)
Bali: From the fiery sunsets at Tanah Lot to the tranquil Banyumala Twin Waterfalls and lush rice terraces, Bali is pure paradise. A playful warning: beware the cheeky monkeys in Ubud; one stole my snack right from my hand!
Europe’s Hidden Gems: Island-hopping in Croatia, flamenco nights in Spain, vineyard tours in Tuscany, romantic gondola rides in Venice, patisserie-hopping in Paris, and the serenity of Norway’s fjords.
Some of my specialties include:
Luxury honeymoons and romantic escapes
Family-friendly adventures with kids in mind
Cultural and culinary journeys
Active holidays with hiking, paragliding, or diving
Luxury beach and island getaways
Travel with complete peace of mind.
All holidays are ATOL-protected.

Paralos & the Magic of Crete: A Love Letter to Greek Escapes
There’s a certain kind of magic in Greece. You don’t just see it — you feel it. In the way the breeze carries the scent of wild thyme and sun-warmed lemons. In the unhurried rhythm of the waves.
