Voyager, c'est vivre! To travel is to live!
From the moment I first heard the phrase “Voyager, c’est vivre” at school, it just made sense to me. Travel has shaped who I am, but what really excites me now is using that passion to shape incredible journeys for you.
For me, it all starts with you. I want to know what lights you up on holiday - your pace, your style, the non‑negotiables and the little touches that make you smile. Rather than standard packages, I love creating trips that feel thoughtful, personal and completely your own.
My own love of travel began while studying French and German at university, followed by an unforgettable year in the beautiful Danube Valley. From there I spent a year living in small town Japan, where I truly fell in love with immersing myself in a different culture. I was lucky enough to live in the same prefecture as Mount Fuji, and watching the sun rise from its summit is still one of my most treasured memories.
Since then, my adventures have taken me to some unforgettable corners of the world. Here are a few highlights:
* climbing Mount Kinabalu in Borneo
* snorkelling over the Great Barrier Reef
* trekking through the Aussie Outback
* exploring islands and ancient temples of Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia
* standing on the Great Wall of China
* enjoying a Singapore Sling at Raffles Hotel
* marvelling at the Taj Mahal
* driving coast to coast across the USA
* cruising the breath-taking Norwegian fjords
Work has also taken me a little off the usual tourist trail, to places like South Korea, Taiwan and Zimbabwe.
Before becoming a Travel Counsellor, I worked as an export sales manager and then as a global event manager, planning complex projects and international events. Now, all of that organisation, problem‑solving and attention to detail is focused on your holidays. I look after the logistics and keep everything running smoothly in the background, so you can simply enjoy the build‑up and the break itself.
What I enjoy most is getting to know you and turning your ideas into something real. I listen to what matters, then use my experience and the support of colleagues across the business to create holidays that feel easy, stress‑free and completely tailored to you.
From simple short breaks to milestone celebrations and longer adventures, I am here to take the pressure off. I can help you make sense of the options, tailor them to fit around your life and your budget, and bring everything together into a trip that feels just right for you.
Along the way you have the reassurance of full financial protection, 24/7 support from a real person who knows your plans, and the myTC app keeping all your travel details in one handy place. My aim is simple: that you feel looked after, understood and genuinely excited about where you are going next.
Bon voyage!

Borneo Adventures - From TV Screen to Once‑in‑a‑Lifetime Journey!
With Race Across the World back on TV, there is a real buzz around big overland journeys and the kind of trips that feel like a true adventure rather than just a holiday. Watching the latest series, with its route from Borneo to Melbourne, instantly transported me back to my own travels and reminded me just how special Borneo is. In 1991, I spent part of a year‑long round‑the‑world backpacking tr

How a Leap into the Unknown Became a Lifetime Love of Japan
Sometimes the most extraordinary journeys start with not quite knowing where you are going! That was certainly true for me in my early twenties, when I signed up for the Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) Programme with only the vaguest idea of where Japan actually was on the map. A friend had applied and I simply thought, “Oh, that sounds fun, I’ll do it too.” Before I knew it, I was sitting in

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

Chile
There are some destinations that you think you know quite well as a travel professional, and then something comes along that lifts the curtain a little further. That is exactly how I felt after attending a recent webinar on Chile, hosted by Carol Savage, CEO of NITGB (Not In The Guidebooks).

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
