I have a confession..

I'm Jess and I have a confession I am completely, unapologetically obsessed with travel.

For me, it is not just about flights and hotels. It is about how a trip feels. Who you are going with. Why now is the right time. What memories you will still be talking about years later. That is what I care about.

My clients often describe me as personable, organised, straight talking and energetic. I take that as a huge compliment. I am someone people feel comfortable with quickly. I am here to excite you about your plans, but also to keep you calm and confident that everything is handled properly.

I ask different questions on purpose.
Why this destination? Why this year? Why these people?
Because travel is emotional. It marks moments in life. And when you come back, I want to hear about the experiences that gave you goosebumps, not just whether the hotel was nice.

I specialise in creating experiential, unforgettable holidays across places like Thailand, Vietnam, Australia, the USA (especially the Deep South), and Egypt. These are the kinds of places where you do not just visit, you feel something. I bring a wealth of knowledge from my own adventures, so I can filter through all the options to find the perfect experiences, hotels, and logistics that match your style, pace, and preferences.

What makes me different? My energy. Nothing is too much trouble. From our first conversation to when you are home and reliving the highlights, I am with you the whole way. I want you excited before you have even confirmed the booking.

When a client books with me, it genuinely means the world. Trust is everything in travel. I feel proud, excited and fully confident that what we have created together is exactly the right fit. I get just as excited confirming your trip as you do receiving it.

You are in safe hands with me. Fully financially protected, supported end to end, and backed by someone who cares deeply about getting it right.

If you want peace of mind, expert guidance, and a holiday that truly exceeds expectations, let’s start planning. I can’t wait to bring your travel dreams to life - and make you feel confident, cared for, and buzzing with excitement along the way.

Why September Is the Smartest Month to Travel If You Value Space and Comfort

Why September Is the Smartest Month to Travel If You Value Space and Comfort

If you love travelling but do not love queues, crowds and sky‑high prices, there is one month that quietly outperforms the rest of the year: September. It is the moment the school holidays end, the temperatures calm down and the pace softens, but many destinations are still at their absolute best. If you value space, comfort and an easier kind of travel, here is why September might just be your n

You will often hear me say that I “work with trusted suppliers” or that your holiday is built with “carefully chosen partners”. But what does that actually mean in real life, and why should it matter to you?

I mean a can of Chang beer in one hand and a water gun in the other.. need I say more? It is all about fun, and water of course! It’s the biggest water fight in the world (I am guessing) spanning not only the whole of Thailand but also Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar

What my customers say

We couldn't have planned the trip with out Travel counsellors Where can l start We couldn't have planned this trip on our own.We had the idea of a bucket list trip to Cambodia and Vietnam. Contacted Jess regarding it and she came up with a itinerary it was a bit full on for us. It took 3 attempts to get it to our satisfaction. All of which Jess did with endless patience. Then the war started and our flights were cancelled via Abu dhabi. Jess worked hard and found us alternativesflights it cost us a bit more but better than cancelling and loosing a lot of money. ( most travel insurance doesn't cover war) In all she booked 7 flights 3 hotels all excellent , numerous trips even contacting our hotels to print of boarding cards for us l could go on . Dealing with Jess was nothing but a pleasant experience.

Jess booked us a fantastic villa in Tenerife for our family celebration. A small hiccup at the start of the holiday was sorted out super fast with a great and easy solution. If anything it made a great start to the holiday. Thanks once again Jess.

C Long

Jessica Cullen booked the flights, hotel and transfers for us and as always it was seamless. Jess was constantly in contact with us to ensure we had nothing to worry about. We stayed at the Valencia Cabillers Hotel in Valencia for the main part of the Fallas - 14th March to the 19th March.

We wanted to take the kids travelling across America in an RV but didn’t know where to start, I found Jessica through Facebook and from the start she was brilliant with us, she put together a few options for us and give us great info to help us figure out a plan, we put our trust in Jessica and her experience and it paid off. We trusted Jessica to pick out our starting hotel and end hotel and trusted her on it, when we arrived we were more than happy. She arranged our flights perfectly to suit us, arranged our RV and hire car at the end and everything ran smoothly. 4300miles completed, 10 states and not one hiccup. we could not have done this without her and we will be using her for our next American adventure and also our honeymoon. Thank you so much Jess!
