I'm based in
Chalfont St. Giles
It's Nice To Meet You
With over 15 years in luxury travel PR, I spent my career curating bespoke trips for some of the UK’s leading travel publications, including The Times, The Telegraph, and Condé Nast Traveller. Crafting these itineraries required meticulous care, insider knowledge, and an instinct for what makes a travel experience truly exceptional — because when you’re planning trips for the world’s most discerning travel journalists, every moment counts.
Now, as your personal Travel Counsellor, I bring that same passion and precision to families, couples and individuals, designing tailor-made escapes all over the world — from luxury villa stays and five-star beach retreats to cultural adventures, romantic honeymoons and once-in-a-lifetime bucket list journeys. As a mother of twin boys living in Chalfont St Giles, I know how precious time is so whether you’re travelling as a family, a couple or on your own, I’ll help you create holidays that bring people together and create lasting memories.
I believe travel is about more than ticking off destinations — it’s about slowing down, reconnecting, and filling your days with experiences that matter. I take care of every detail, offering and end-to-end service that makes your travel planning effortless.

Let's plan your dream trip together
Tailor-made for you
Your holiday isn’t just a trip away. It’s a longed-for escape, time to reconnect with loved ones, or a dream adventure you never thought possible. That’s why I take the time to truly get to know you and understand your hopes and expectations, then use my experience, connections and passion for the destination to create a trip that makes those dreams a reality.
Personalised service. Always
When you plan a holiday with me, you’ll be given my personal mobile number from the very first call.

And I’ll share my personal tips and recommendations, so you can experience the true beauty of each destination.
