Your holiday, expertly planned and personally cared for
With 29 years in the travel industry and over a decade as a Travel Counsellor, I have spent my career doing what I love most, creating incredible holidays and helping people see more of the world.
Travel has always been much more than a job for me. I travel as often as I can, both professionally and with my partner and our three children, so I understand just how precious your holiday time is. Whether it is your annual family holiday, your honeymoon, a milestone celebration or a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, I want it to feel completely right for you.
Holidays designed around you
No two clients are the same, and I do not believe their holidays should be either.
I specialise in tailor-made travel, honeymoons, luxury escapes, family and multi-generational holidays and ocean cruising. Over nearly three decades in travel, I have built up extensive knowledge of destinations around the world, alongside first-hand experience gained through my own travels and professional trips.
I love putting together the more complicated trips too. Multi-centre adventures, different hotels, flights, transfers, private tours and those little experiences along the way are often the trips where having someone take care of everything really makes a difference.
First-hand knowledge that makes a difference
One of my favourite parts of my job is getting out there and experiencing hotels, resorts, destinations and ships for myself. There is only so much you can learn from a brochure or website.
These experiences give me an insight into the things that can really make or break a holiday. Which resort has the right atmosphere, which room is worth upgrading to, whether a particular island will suit you, or whether somewhere that looks perfect online is actually right for your family.
Personal service from start to finish
I work from my home office in Rugby and offer flexible consultations around your lifestyle, including evenings and weekends. We can chat by phone, email, video call or over a coffee.
I take time to understand how you like to travel, what is important to you and, just as importantly, what you do not want from your holiday.
From our first conversation until you arrive home, I am here to take care of the details. And if something unexpected happens while you are away, you have the reassurance of knowing you are not dealing with it alone.
Experience you can trust
After almost three decades in travel, I have built up a wealth of knowledge and trusted relationships with travel partners around the world.
That experience allows me to look beyond the obvious options and recommend what I genuinely believe is right for you, rather than simply offering a one-size-fits-all package.
Your holiday is your time, your money and your memories. My job is to make sure all three are well looked after.
So whether you are dreaming about an overwater villa in the Maldives, planning your honeymoon, taking the whole family away, setting sail on a cruise or have an itinerary in mind that you are not quite sure how to piece together, I would love to help.
Get in touch and tell me where you are dreaming of next.

Three Maldives Islands, Three Completely Different Experiences
When you picture the Maldives, chances are you imagine powder-white sand, crystal-clear turquoise water and an overwater villa. And yes, there was plenty of that! But after spending 10 days exploring three very different islands, I discovered there is so much more to the Maldives than the picture-perfect images we all know. I stayed at Adaaran Select Meedhupparu, Heritance Aarah and Adaaran Select

Island Hopping Greece With My Daughter: Why This Trip Meant So Much (And How I’d Plan It for You)
Some trips are about the destination. This one was about the experience—and who I got to share it with. I island-hopped through Greece with my daughter, and it became one of those trips I’ll remember forever

Why I Fell in Love with Sandals Saint Vincent (And Who I’d Book It For)
I’ve been to a lot of resorts as a travel advisor—but every once in a while, one just hits differently. Sandals Saint Vincent was that for me. From the moment I arrived, I could tell this wasn’t going to be your typical Caribbean all-inclusive. It felt quieter, more untouched… almost like we had discovered somewhere we weren’t supposed to know about yet.

Magical Memories with Disney Cruise line
Wow What week! I’m back on dry land after my Disney cruise and I just need to tell you all about the absolutely magical Disney Dream! First of all, lets talk about the sailing experience. This was so easy from Southampton. Can you believe you can take as much luggage as you can carry, great for gals like me who do not know how to do minimal packing! I took 2 cases! (A small cabin size for taking

Cretan fun in the sun
With the school holidays approaching it was time to plan our summer escape and this year as always, we headed to Greece, this time to the island of Crete for our guaranteed sunshine! This year was a little different as I had chosen to do something I have never done in Europe before and go all-inclusive. I will detail my pro’s and con’s further on this in my post but ultimately, I think it’s down t

Fly and flop, Villa style
This May half term was all about the fly and flop holiday and what better place to pick than the Balearic island of Menorca. Just a 2-hour flight and hopefully some sunshine - this seemed to be the perfect place to have a villa for a week with the luxury of our own pool. We decided on the Maribel villa complex in the peaceful resort of Cala Blanca, Just an hour’s taxi transfer from the airport.

Girls trip to the big apple
With an opportunity for a few days away with my best friend, there was no other place for it - it had to be New York! I’ve been lucky enough to visit NY a few times before but not for a good few years so to be honest I couldn’t wait to return, and it didn’t disappoint! Flying from London we grabbed a taxi on arrival and headed straight into Manhattan. There is nothing like the view, especially

Vancouver Adventure
Taking a trip to Canada has always been on my bucket list and this October I finally ticked that box and it didn’t disappoint! Starting with a few nights in Vancouver just as trees and leaves were beginning to change colour for Fall, I absolutely fell in love with its outdoor lifestyle and vibrant city life with the areas of Gastown and Yaletown being my favourite spots with the bars and restau
