It's Nice To Meet You
Hi, I’m Charlotte — your dedicated and trusted Travel Counsellor.
Thanks for visiting my page! If you’re here, you’re likely dreaming of your next big adventure — whether it’s a romantic escape, a cultural journey, a family break, or a once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon. Whatever your ideal holiday looks like, I’m here to make it happen.
With over 22 years in the travel industry, I’ve had the privilege of crafting unforgettable holidays for my clients — and experiencing some amazing journeys myself. These personal adventures have given me the insight to plan trips that are truly special and tailored to you.
Travel, Tailored to You
I specialise in bespoke travel experiences — from spontaneous city breaks and beach holidays to cruises, safaris, honeymoons, and destination weddings. I’ll support you at every step: from inspiration and planning to the moment you return home.
Whether it’s your first trip abroad or your fiftieth, I’m here to make it seamless, exciting, and personal.
Where I’ve Been, What I’ve Loved
Travel has taken me around the globe, each destination adding to my expertise and passion. Some of my most memorable experiences include:
Romantic city breaks to Paris, Rome, Nice, Bruges, Barcelona, and Dublin
Saying “I do” in Cyprus and honeymooning in Los Angeles, Hawaii, and San Francisco
Warm island welcomes in Mauritius and Zanzibar
Culture-rich experiences in Singapore and Bali
Thrills at the Formula 1 in Montreal
Awe-inspiring beauty in the Canadian Rockies
Vibrant landscapes and cultures of South Africa
A cruise through the Norwegian Fjords with a toddler
A sunny cultural escape to Madrid
These journeys have taught me the importance of the little details — and allow me to give honest, first-hand recommendations.
More Than Just Holidays
My role isn’t just to book a trip — it’s to become your trusted travel partner. I take the time to understand your likes, dislikes, and travel style. Many of my clients return time and again, knowing I’ll always go the extra mile.
I have specialist knowledge in cruising, one of the fastest-growing areas of travel. Whether you’re new to cruising or a seasoned explorer, I’ll help you find the perfect ship and itinerary.
I’m also a certified Australia and Canada specialist, giving you insider knowledge and unique insights into these spectacular destinations.
My Personal Promise
What matters most is you.
Travel should never be one-size-fits-all. I take a personal, client-first approach — offering expert advice, up-to-date training, and trusted industry connections to make sure everything runs smoothly from start to finish.
And nothing makes me happier than hearing about your adventures when you return — or getting that next phone call to help plan the next one!
Let’s Plan Something Amazing
Are you dreaming of:
A romantic city escape?
A sun-soaked family break?
A once-in-a-lifetime cruise or safari?
A beautifully planned wedding abroad?
Or just some time away, completely tailored to you?
Whatever your travel plans, I’d love to help you bring them to life.
?? Call me, message me, or drop me a line — and let’s start building your next unforgettable journey.
Because with me, travel isn’t just a booking.
It’s personal.
It’s meaningful.
And it’s all about you.

Winter sun Fun with a Toddler
When the weather is bitter and even turning up the heating just doesn’t seem to keep you warm; then a constant reminder from a ‘helpful’ tool on your phone of memories over the years of your previous winter sun escapes, you just start saying, enough is enough and the only thing to do is book a last minute winter sun break away. For some, this will bring thoughts of relaxation, sunbathing, eatin

Cruising the Fjords
A Magical Journey Through the Norwegian Fjords with MSC Virtuosa: Our First Cruise with a Baby. Well this was a different holiday for us Our recent 7-night cruise on the MSC Virtuosa from Southampton through the Norwegian Fjords was truly something special. Not only was it our first time exploring this stunning part of the world, but it was also our first cruise with our 1-year-old baby. And, t

On the piste...in Nendaz
I need to be completely honest; ski has never been the top of my bucket lists of holidays to do. Too much exercise, mental thinking & coldness all at the same time, was never my idea of a holiday! However, outnumbered as I was with two friends and my husband Tom, I caved. Back to work for me on Boxing Day I booked our first ski trip – nervous was an understatement! Finding a resort that would su

Sizzling South Africa
A safari holiday has been on our bucket list for a while, but it never seemed to fit in with any plans we had. For 2019, I decided that this was the year. We needed a good road trip and, although there are many different routes I was considering, South Africa stayed at the top; so, planning commenced and before we knew it, we had booked our South African adventure. This is the route that we ch

Magnificent Mauritius
In September 2018, I was very lucky to have the chance to visit the wonderful Island of Mauritius, an island based in the Indian Ocean. I had visited before, but an opportunity came around and I got to visit again! We flew from our local airport, Birmingham with Emirates via Dubai. The connections are so easy and smooth in Dubai, they really are the best at connecting flights! Onwards from Dubai

Singapore & Bali
For our 5th wedding anniversary, we wanted to do something a little bit different. The brief that I received from my husband was that he wanted to go East, so out came the maps as I wanted to make the most of this trip. The mighty plan was to do Singapore and Bali. Singapore has been on my bucket list for quite some time, to be there for the Grand Prix to be exact, however having our anniversar

Fear of flying
This could be the strangest thing ever – a travel agent that hates flying. Well not really, there are lots of people who have a fear of flying and I just so happen to be one of them. It’s not pleasant but I can absolutely relate to those who say they have this fear also. With the need to try and get my fear under control due being diverted because our plane hit a bird on take off. This was the poi

New York - The Marathon
New York baby! Well, for the second time! This trip was for a very different reason altogether - my amazing husband Tom ran the New York Marathon and I was so very proud of him (and all that took part). The atmosphere, organisation, people, runners, professional athletes, supporters and well-wishers were all, to quote a word used a lot that day, "awesome!" He finished with an amazing time of 3:02:

New York - for the 1st time
The best Christmas present surprise ever! Christmas 2010 had arrived and I had been laying down the ground work on where our holiday for 2011 would be. New York was on my hit list and I was making it very clear that the choices were New York, New York or New York, but he just wasn't committing and I didn't know why. The Christmas list (yes I still write a list to tell him exactly what I would l

Beautiful Barcelona
I am going to be totally honest; Barcelona was not a destination I had any particular interest to travel to, that was until I actually travelled there. Wow, what a city - it was fantastic! Arriving into Barcelona means that you can take advantage of the Aerobus (it collects from both terminals). You can pre-book your tickets online, or you can do this at the terminus at the Airport, such a grea

Rocking in Tenerife
In February, we decided that enough was enough and with winter blues lasting forever, we booked a last-minute trip to Tenerife in the Canaries? We flew from our local airport which is Birmingham International Airport. They have recently said it is investing 100 million on improvements to its facilities and infrastructure, including hold-baggage screening, self-service check-in, surface access, add
