Hi there, I’m Fawn, your down-to-earth, friendly, dedicated personal travel agent based in East London, and I’m here to create a bespoke holiday experience that’s tailored to your unique needs. Whether it’s a relaxing or fun family getaway, an exciting bucket-list adventure, a luxurious honeymoon, or a bleisure trip (business + leisure!), I’m here to turn your travel dreams into reality.
Planning your trips should be fun, not stressful, and that’s exactly how I work with you! From the moment we start, I’m available when you need me to be, via phone, email and the myTC app or we can coordinate our contact points to suit your schedule. Your itinerary is perfectly tailored to you. You won't find any generic cookie-cutter packages here—just a personal, collaborative approach focused entirely on you.

Why Work with Me?
I’ve helped my clients plan countless holidays to destinations all over the world—from the beaches of Bali and far-flung Komodo Islands to the cities of Europe, the Maldives, Vietnam, Australasia, and the wilds of North, Central and South America, on land and by sea, so wherever your dream destination is, I’ll make sure your trip is truly unforgettable.
With over 15 years in the travel industry (and decade's worth of personal travel experiences), I’ve built up a wealth of knowledge in tailoring extraordinary holidays, and had the privilege of exploring really diverse corners of the globe. My personal journey has taken me from living in France in my early 20's, Canada in my 30's, and Chile more recently. I worked with a start-up in Mexico that focuses on sustainable, mindful travel, as well as personally travelling to over 30 countries (so far). My firsthand travel experiences give me unique insights into what makes each destination special, and I use that knowledge to ensure the trips I plan for you are perfectly aligned with your interests and expectations.
I specialised in North, Central and Latin America, and enjoy crafting epic round-the-world journeys, experiential travel, and even plant-based, foodie adventures for those with dietary preferences like me. But my expertise isn’t just limited to these types of trips or regions—I can help you plan your holiday to anywhere in the world.
I’m always keeping up to date with the latest in premium travel, plus I'm a passionate aviation enthusiast and a specialist in complex airfares. If you’re looking to book multi-stop flights or navigate tricky itineraries, I’ve got you covered. I studied airfares and ticketing in-depth, so I can certainly help you get the best value even with the most complicated journeys.
