Travel Fairy Godmother and self confessed Disney Geek
Whether you are planning your much needed annual escape or searching for the holiday of a lifetime, I am here to make it effortless and unforgettable.
I am Jade Hawkins: mum of three, business owner, and independent Travel Counsellor based in Spalding, Lincolnshire. I specialise in creating beautifully tailored holidays with a true crème de la crème service from beginning to end: from the first spark of an idea, to touching down at your destination, right through to the journey home.
With the reassurance of a 24 hour duty office behind me and the flexibility to work around you, I offer a level of care and availability that is hard to match. My aim is simple: a seamless, stress free booking experience so you can relax and enjoy every moment, even before you travel.
My core areas of expertise are Florida and the wider USA, New Zealand and the Mediterranean, with a particular focus on All things Disney, Family travel, ocean cruises and multi destination itineraries. From first time family adventures at Walt Disney World to road trips across the States & Canada. Enjoying the mediterranean or Caribbean by cruise, and inspiring for flung adventures, maybe New Zealand self drives in a Camper van o island hopping in Malaysia, I bring expert knowledge and first hand insight to every detail.
I have arranged countless Disney breaks, cruise holidays and tailor made, milestone trips, so I know how to match the right itinerary, ship, resort and experiences to you as my client. Whether you are dreaming of meeting your favourite characters, waking up to a new horizon every morning at sea, exploring the sun drenched Mediterranean, discovering the dramatic landscapes of New Zealand or finally ticking off that big USA bucket list destination, I will design a trip that feels truly extraordinary and completely personal to you.
You can think of me as your personal travel designer. I listen carefully, ask the right questions, and then craft a trip that is genuinely made just for you. For families, I understand the practicalities as well as the magic: from nap times and pool days to character dining and must do excursions, I help you find the right balance so everyone comes home happy.
I take the time to understand your needs and preferences, making sure that every holiday is perfectly suited to you and your travelling party. This might mean tailor making a multi destination itinerary from scratch, combining several stops into one perfectly paced journey, or selecting the ideal ship and sailing for your ocean cruise. Every element is chosen so that your travel experience feels effortless and perfectly planned, not overwhelming and anxiety filled. All of this is delivered with a commitment to quality, care and outstanding service.
I aim to make the entire process, from first enquiry to departure day, as smooth and enjoyable as possible. So sit back, relax and let me do the hard work. Together we will shape your ideas, refine the details and build an itinerary filled with experiences that truly match your passions.
Whatever adventure you are looking for, whoever you are travelling with and however you like to explore, my tailor made service is designed to leave you thinking:
“I wish I had found Jade sooner.”
It is time to start planning your next great escape.
I cannot wait to chat with you and begin designing your unforgettable holiday.

Is it time to try a Disney Cruise
Why I Think Disney Cruise is a great alternative to the parks. As someone who absolutely loves all things Disney, I know how magical the parks can be. After sailing with Disney Cruise Line, I can honestly say: the magic at sea is just as awesome. From the character interactions to the dining and the way every age group is catered for, a Disney cruise is an experience every Disney Lover should do

Travel Agent to Travel Concierge
How did that happen? I was once a travel agent, I booked peoples dream holidays, I sorted their tickets and made sure they had the answer to any questions that came up. Sometimes we discussed excursions and extras but more often than not I was just a standard travel agent.
