It's Nice To Meet You
For those that don’t know…travel is simply in my DNA. I also happen to know an awful lot about it having spent almost 15 years working for a range of major travel companies, including 10 years at Tripadvisor. A particular highlight was launching Travalyst, Prince Harry’s ground-breaking sustainable travel initiative.
Helping clients find their dream trip and making memories that last a lifetime is far more than just my job – it’s my passion.
I’m also proud to be part of Travel Counsellors - a world leading, independent travel company which provides customers with 100% financial protection. Travel Counsellors is one of the largest travel providers in the UK and part of a global network allowing me to access a vast range of options and suppliers and build tailor-made trips bespoke to you.
I pride myself on truly getting to know my clients enabling me to build you a highly personalised itinerary. Attention to detail is critical; sometimes it’s the small things that can make the difference between a good holiday and an exceptional one.
Yes, the last few years have been tough for travel, but the Covid crisis has also demonstrated how important it is to have a trusted expert to help you navigate the ever-changing travel landscape, decode the latest requirements and ultimately provide the reassurance and peace of mind you deserve.
I have been at the coalface of Covid travel restrictions and government updates since the start of the pandemic, living and breathing every traffic light regime change, complex testing rule and country entry requirement. It might seem daunting, but I’ll be with you every step of the way and I’m right here at the end of the phone 24/7.
It’s almost impossible to name my favourite travel destination as there are so many contenders, but Italy’s Amalfi Coast is somewhere I always return to. As an avid foodie it’s probably easy to work out why. Food and wine typically play a leading role in my own travel choices!
I also have two primary school aged children and firmly believe that incredible holidays shouldn’t stop just because you have little ones. There are many fabulous family-friendly destinations I can show you where parents and children will come away with precious memories. The luxury Greek resorts of Sani and Ikos are personal favourites of mine.
So, if you’re looking (or just dreaming) about your next escape, let me take the research, planning and worry off your hands. Perhaps it’s a luxury tropical holiday, a shopping trip to New York, a special occasion large family getaway, or a spectacular safari. Or maybe you’ve always fancied skiing or a cruise but just don’t know where to start.
Whatever type of trip you’re looking for let’s have a chat and get you one step closer to that dream holiday.

Travelling abroad during Covid restrictions, just how stressful is it really? After my little jaunt to Tenerife last week I thought it would be useful to share my own experience.

Full disclaimer: I love all things Italian. The food, the wine, the people, the weather. I even met my husband on a ski trip in Italy. I've visited Milan many times for work and enjoyed being a tourist in Rome and Venice. But my favourite part of Italy is the beautiful Amalfi Coast. I first fell in love on my honeymoon a decade ago and have since been back seven times. Most of my trips have been
