Voyager, c'est vivre! To travel is to live!
From the moment I first came across the phrase “Voyager, c’est vivre” while learning French at school, it became my mantra. Every journey since has shaped who I am, and it is this deep love of travel that I pour into every trip I design.
I love getting to know what really matters to you, then creating trips that feel truly personal. I am not about one‑size‑fits‑all holidays or generic suggestions. I want to understand your style, your pace and the little things that make you smile, so that every journey feels like it was designed just for you.
My love of travel really took off after studying French and German at university and spending an amazing year living in the beautiful Danube Valley. From there, I headed to Japan for a year, where I truly discovered the joy of immersing myself in a different culture. I was lucky enough to live in the same prefecture as the iconic Mount Fuji, and watching the sunrise from its summit is still one of my most treasured memories.
Since then, my adventures have taken me all over the world - climbing Mount Kinabalu in Borneo, snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef, trekking through the Aussie Outback, exploring the islands and ancient sites of Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia, standing on the Great Wall of China, sipping a Singapore Sling at the iconic Raffles Hotel, marvelling at the Taj Mahal and driving coast to coast across the USA.
Work has also taken me a little off the usual tourist trail, to places like South Korea, Taiwan and Zimbabwe. Along the way I have also developed a real passion for scenic cruising and, for me, there is nowhere quite as mesmerising as the Norwegian fjords.
My background, first as an export sales manager and then as a global event manager, means you benefit from years of professional planning, first class customer service and meticulous attention to detail. I am used to handling complex logistics and bringing lots of moving parts together into one seamless experience, which translates perfectly into designing smooth, stress free holidays. Working internationally has also taught me how to solve problems calmly and adapt plans on the go, so you can travel with confidence and real peace of mind.
As I build my business, I am genuinely excited to have a whole team of destination specialists behind me. It means you are not just tapping into my own travels and experience, but a wider pool of passion, knowledge and ideas. Together, we combine all of this insight to create holidays that are thoughtfully planned, richer, more inspired and completely tailored to you. In practice, that looks like:
- Time to chat and really listen, so we understand what matters most to you
- Personal ideas from my own travels plus specialist tips from my team of destination specialists
- Well thought out itineraries, from simple short breaks to multi‑stop adventures
- Someone to handle the planning and logistics so you can simply look forward to going away
- Flexibility and choice, rather than being tied to specific hotels or airlines
- The reassurance of full financial protection and 24/7 support from a real person
- Access to the myTC app, keeping all your travel details and documents in one handy place
If this sounds like the way you would love to travel, let us have a chat and turn your dreams into reality. Together, we can create something truly unforgettable!
Warm wishes,

Finding New Chapters in a Familiar City
Paris has always felt a little bit like a second home to me. I have been lucky enough to visit the city around fifteen times, mostly in my former life in publishing. For years I travelled to Paris twice a year, selling English-language books for academic publisher Routledge and mass‑market publisher Hodder Headline. Those regular trips meant I got to know the city, its people and its culture on a

All aboard - why Japan’s railways are the heart of the journey
Japan is on so many travel wish lists right now, and with good reason. From ultra-modern cities and ancient temples to exquisite cuisine and peaceful countryside, it is a country that wraps you up in contrasts at every turn. One aspect of Japan that I am especially delighted to see getting some well-deserved attention is its rail network - a way of travelling that is, quite simply, part of the ma

Why Am I So Excited About Race Across The World 2026?
Some destinations don’t just appear on your travel wish list, they weave their way quietly into your imagination years before you ever set foot there. For me, that place has always been the Silk Road.

Living In Japan: The Year That Changed How I Travel Forever
Experiential travel is a bit of a buzzword at the moment, but for me it is far more than a trend or a travel style. It is the thread that runs through my own life adventures and the way I now design holidays for my clients. Recently, I had the privilege of hearing the inspiring Simon Reeve speak at our Travel Counsellors conference. He spoke with such passion about experiential travel: about goin
